    As students flee, Detroit football teams lose ground | detnews.com | The Detroit News

    I know the city has bigger problems than HS sports. I guess this article illustrates those too, though.

    Quoted: Two years ago, the Detroit Public School League basked in the glory of Detroit King's state football championship. Much has changed since then -- for the worse.

    Ravens’ Foxworth Is Building Home Museum to the Civil Rights Movement - NYTimes.com

    Very cool story about a Terp great. Liz, you'll have to forward it to Penelope ; )

    Quoted: Later, looking at the collection, he said: “Not often, but on occasion I feel guilty. I have all this because I run real fast and I tackle people. I recognize why I’ve been able to do this. It’s not all because of me or my family or my teammates or my coaches. It’s more because of the faces on the walls in my basement.”

    Jake Peavy Will Not Accept Trade to White Sox: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

    Old news, but I didn't find out until today. I wouldn't have been very worried about the Sox even if they got him, but it's nice to keep Peavy out of the AL Central.

    Quoted: Rosenthal has doubts about the White Sox's ability to compete in the future, and he says that this may have been on Peavy's mind when he rejected the trade.

    I was trying to remember where Ba got that "fade into Bolivian" line and found this treasure trove. Enjoy.

    Reilly: Time to right some wrongs, one MVP at a time

    Ba, this awful column made me think about our earlier A-Rod discussion. Every single one of the guys Reilly wants to give a replacement MVP to looks suspicious to me. Piazza's legendary back acne is in the news today. And A-Rod, until a few weeks ago, was the clean guy who would clean up the record books and give baseball its good name back. So it might not be a good idea to go looking for replacement saviors. They might not exist. Terrible premise, terribly executed. Reilly is lame.

    Quoted: Step up here, Mike Piazza. The late Ken Caminiti of the San Diego Padres stole your 1996 NL MVP, then admitted he was into more juice than Jack LaLanne. Yes, it's 13 years late, but the nameplate is new! And here's yours from 2001, Luis Gonzalez, after you finished behind The Barry Bonds Pharmacy. We won't even mention the home run title you would've won that year.

    Where to Put Them: West Michigan Starters - Take 75 North

    Looks like the Whitecaps rotation will be worth watching no matter who it includes. There are at least 10 guys vying for spots, with some interesting prospects in the mix.

    Quoted: The biggest dose of that infusion is expected to come from Casey Crosby. He got a $750,000 bonus for his ability to throw in the mid 90s with his left arm, and you can bet the Tigers are anxious to start to get some return on investment.

    Corey Koskie's clear head - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

    A good article about the difficulty of post-concussive syndrome and locker room culture.

    Quoted: “I tried to minimize the symptoms,” he said, “because everybody told me I was fine, but I didn’t feel fine.”

    This kid is ridiculous. MAGIQUE, even. Also, an exotic soundtrack and French commentary for your Valentimes viewing pleasure.

    Quoted: J'ai uni toutes les vidéos du petit prodige madïn que j'ai trouvé sur le net et voici une compilation de ce petit prodige à l'âge de 4 ans, 5 et 6 ans.

    What Celebrities Are Playing: Ping-Pong -- Daily Intel --  New York News Blog -- New York Magazine

    I haven't heard the audio on this - it could be profane, annoying, etc. Hopefully not. Dad, I think the time might be right for a Slager/Howard table tennis club venture, or just a Slager one. Space is cheap, table tennis is hip, and people are looking for inexpensive ways to spend their time. What do you think?

    Quoted: Susan Sarandon goes to a table-tennis event. But it's at an art gallery, so it's still cool.
