So I know many of the Spo fi's are world travelers. As a Pens fan, I have a problem. My honeymoon in Aruba is scheduled for the end of June. Will they broadcast the Cup finals in Aruba or do i need to get my wife to reschedule?

Call the whole thing off. They use square money down there.

Zach Lowe has another great piece on the NBA and the increasing value of wing players who can score and defend since the change in the illegal defense rule.

Please hope that your intended never looks at SpoFi. If she does, you are already doomed. Of course, your perceived problem assumes the Penguins are going to the finals. As my old pappy used to say, "Do not make estimates of the total yield of immature poultry prior to the completion of the incubation process."*

Howard, I am not counting my chickens, just planning ahead. Also, she is more of a hockey fan than most. She is concerned too,.

That really is a fantastic article. Thanks for sharing.

I love RGIII's response: The Redskins quarterback and 2011 Heisman Trophy winner responded to the backlash on Tuesday evening, writing, "If we speak..we say it the wrong way If we do not speak we are cowards." When he looks in the mirror does he even realize the color of his own skin or just some angelic, meta-human wonder?
