I love Chuck Klosterman. He's an erstwhile pop culture writer who moonlights for ESPN.com. He has an all-too perfect story about how the Patriots would actually increase their immortality by losing in Super Bowl XLII next Sunday. Frankly, I see his point. Not that I want it to happen. I want my homeboy Randy Moss to get his ring. And I still have that nasty man-crush on Tom Brady. I want the greatest team of my lifetime to finish the job. And 19-0 has such a nice ring to it.

Going to the Virginia/MI-B vs. Eveleth-Gilbert/Mesabi East boys hockey game tonight. Although the first meeting was heavily-weighted in the Blue Devils' favor, this is always such a fun rivalry.

The Minnesota Wild closed out their pre-All-Star Game schedule with a hard-fought 3-2 victory at Colorado last night, improving to 20-0 in games they've led entering the third period this season. Pretty heady stuff for the Wild, who are alone atop the Northwest Division.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (yes, they are still a team) have won two in a row (yes, that sound you hear is hell freezing over) heading into tonight's game against KG and the Celtics. Don't expect a trifecta.
