My favourite story of the week was hearing Markus Naslund was coming out of retirement. He and Peter Forsberg recently decided to come out of retirement to play in the Swedish Elite league. They are playing for their home-town team Modo.  Modo is in last place in the league and in financial trouble, so the two ex-NHL’ers decided to suit up for free to help out their old team. With so much greed and selfishness in sports it was great to hear a feel good story.

Being a cynic by nature maybe the above story wasn’t my fav. nothing made me laugh more this last week than hearing that former presidential press secretary Ari Fleischer was hired by the BCS to as BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock put it,  “highlight the positive aspects of the BCS.”

Finally, the 2010 NFL Draft board received some much needed help in slotting the upcoming crop of QB’s.  Jimmy Clausen getting punched out this last week has draft gurus scrambling.  With his mother acting as his left tackle, he still couldn’t avoid the rush.  For any who have questioned his pocket presence this should seal the deal.  With this development look for Jimmy to go in the 5th or 6th round at best, unless the Raiders take him in the first round.
