Michael Jasper has been receiving a lot of press lately. My favorite piece was written at ProFootballWeekly.com – Jasper overcomes enormous odds on journey to NFL. Also have to love the press about Gabe Carimi, Bear Jew. If only the players and owners could agree on a new collective bargaining agreement. I am ecstatic about the Miami Heat making the NBA Finals and cannot wait for Game 1 at home against the Dallas Mavericks. I desperately hope that the NBA and the NBA Players Association is able to avoid a lockout for the 2011/12 season. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
