Congratulations to hockey team destroyers Jeff Carter and Mike Richards, who will play in their third Stanley Cup Finals series in five years, an achievement on par with their respective gold medals.
It seems that most folks, except for the most ardent OBs, have come around on the fact that the Flyers didn’t win those trades. But if you’re still on the fence, sleep in your Ed Snider pajamas or believe that Paul Holmgren is gone (when he’s actually running a business he admittedly knows little about), here’s a quick rebuttal to your incorrect viewpoint [and I’m going to use these delightful new bullet points to make it]:
Let’s hit it!

The roundup:
Riley Cooper posing with black guys might be my new favorite thing:
That’s almost better than Donald Sterling attending a black church service.
Marlon Byrd broke his bat on a swing and a miss. Wonder where someone gets that sort of raw power.
Yet another baby died (bringing the total up to six) in Leslie Gudel’s Nap Nanny, which has been recalled for some time. I see a lot of comments about Leslie and her product, and I think they’re unfair. Did her company produce a defective and dangerous product? Yes. But the danger results from the completely unexpected and nearly-impossible-to-forsee situation that, when the chair is placed inside cribs or other tight areas, babies could suffocate by climbing out of the chair and getting stuck between it and the crib walls. This is an unfortunate situation all-around – that a well-intentioned product produced such horrifying results – but it’s completely unfair to call Gudel a “baby killer,” which is something I’ve seen quite a bit online.
Speaking of dangerous: Bride pulls newborn down the aisle on the train of her dress.
More babies: Heard the Utleys are expecting a second boy. ANOTHER BABY CHASE!
The New York Yankees and Shane Victorino joined many in remembering Lewis Katz.
Ed Rendell turned down an invite to be on the doomed flight.
V. Stiviano mocking black people.
All that Richards and Carter stuff aside, the Kings could buyout Richards because of his cap hit.
