    True, and if I'm not mistaken, all of the datelines for the Cardinals (and whatever bowl games are played there) come across with a Glendale dateline.

    Took a while for AP stories to change Denver Broncos training camp stories from Denver to Englewood, if I remember correctly.

    The latest take on the Kentucky/Baylor game:

    "Calipari, in his third season at Kentucky, just keeps recruiting the best high school players in the land, molds 'em into a top team, then sends most of them on to the NBA before they’ve barely had time to find their way to class."

    Really?! "...molds 'em"?
    Why don't you throw a whadya and a heckuva in there for good measure!

    Or as Bob Knight calls 'em, "that team from the SEC."

    "Class? We have classes?"

    Yeah, I didn't know Kentucky had classes. Learn something new every day. Of course I don't want to sound biased. When I was at Carolina, one of my friends on the swim team said, "Wouldn't it be great if we could just live in the dorms here in Chapel Hill, party and not go to class?" To which I replied, "you're already doing that."

    Just moved a short while ago on the wire, from AP's Colin Fly:

    Am I to believe that, given the fact the only two available photos of Hobey Baker Award winner Jack Connolly are action shots from Duluth's paper (and grainy ones at that), that you couldn't be troubled to send a photographer to the ceremony?

    Seriously?

    As Rod Beaton, and Kevin Allen after him, liked to say: "That's the Heisman Trophy of hockey."

    It's the Hobey Baker Award. :)

    Really, I hope there's the same outrage when there's NO photos of the Tewaaraton Trophy winner next month. 'Cause it's just as solidly a niche sport, and AP almost completely ignores lacrosse.
