Remember the ABA: I found this great site about the American Basketball Association. One of my favorite parts is When Big Hair Ruled the ABA.

MLB Active Player Search: : The official Major League Baseball site has a cool search engine for all of the active players for this season. I especially like the "diamond" graphic where you can select the team and see who they have available at each position. Enjoy!

Girl, 13, Dies After Being Hit by Puck at NHL Game: Since this happened in my home town of Columbus, Ohio I thought I'd bring this to everyone's attention. Supposedly this is the first time this has ever happened in an NHL game although the word is that it has happened before in minor league games. I apologize for the Yahoo link but the Toronto Globe and Mail and USA Today insist on posting her picture which I thought was in poor taste. Don't click on those links unless you want to have your heart broken. I think it's been awhile since something shook me up this much.
I hope the league does something to lessen the chances of this happening again. Scuttlebutt on the radio says that they probably won't change anything but when you have a new team in it's second season and it's just starting to get popular I think the last thing you want to do is scare the fans into staying home.

I wasn't thinking cash at all. Just for fun. I figured there would already have been one started but when I got here there wasn't. Yahoo has a free Men's Tournament Pick'em. Maybe I'll set one up there. Anybody else interested?

Girl, 13, Dies After Being Hit by Puck at NHL Game
Girl's death raises concern for fans' safety. Here is the only national article I've seen which addresses what some of the repercussions for fan's safety might be. I read somewhere that an average of 3 to 8 pucks are launched into the audience in average game. Personally I think if an accident is preventable then you should do whatever you can to prevent it. If it happened once it can happen again. And next time they can't say that it was a fluke. I bet if the NHL wanted to they could approach a research company and explore options for some sort of mono-filament netting which would be practically invisible to the crowd but would still serve quite well to stop the pucks.
