Congrats big-time to the Gopher Women's Hockey team (PiPress #10).

Hats off to Janel McCarville (PiPress #8). Long may you run.

But, hey PiPress, how can you skip a mention of Greg Eslinger? (PiPress #9) Even SI got that one in.

I'm not sure that numbers one and five are really different stories. But that may be because I don't follow week-to-week offseason moves.
I prefer to watch spring and summer and grass grow and paint dry. Ahhh...paint dry. Someone get me a lemonade, and a Twins scorecard.

Everyone knows that people are dying in Iraq, but to walk past this on the way to work every day is too much

Ahem. Too much what?
