Sean B. Fitzgerald It doesn’t go something like this, it goes exactly like this.

The Melk Man, Henrik Lundqvist, among other things

Rangers defeat Capitals 2-1, lead series 3-1
There's nothing quite like hopping onto a bandwagon. For 82 regular season hockey games, I may have watched 30 seconds of action, and that was by accident. I probably sat on the remote or thought something else was on that channel. But now, with the Rangers only 1 win away from facing the Bruins in the Eastern Conference semifinals, I can't help but watch. Since the playoffs started, I have not missed 1 minute of play. With all the power-plays, icings, cross-checkings, high-stickings, and things of that nature, I am nothing short of enthralled. Those last few minutes of the Rangers game tonight were exhilarating. I was glued to the television and was able to sufficiently ignore any of my work.

Melky Cabrera homerun lifts Yankees over Athletics in 14 innings
Is this the beginning of the end for Brett Gardner? Clearly it's too early to make that decision. But Melky is making a valiant effort to take back his old job. At the beginning of the season, it seemed as if the difference in Gardner and Cabrera was negligible. Not anymore. Looks like they will be splitting time over the next few weeks. Could get interesting. One thing is certain, Brett Gardner would look out of place in this music video.

Lions are looking to sign Stafford before draft
Makes sense. The Lions NEED a player who has the potential to change the makeup of that franchise, specifically a quarterback. Quick! Name any Detroit Lions quarterback. Couldn't think of one, could you? No, Joey Harrington doesn't count. He may have been under center, but that doesn't make him a quarterback.

Detroit Lions first round draft picks (Last ten years):
1999: Chris Claiborne (USC), Aaron Gibson (Wisconsin)
2000: Stockar McDougle (Oklahoma)
2001: Jeff Backus (Michigan)
2002: Joey Harrington (Oregon)
2003: Charles Rogers (Michigan State)
2004: Roy Williams (Texas), Kevin Jones (Virginia Tech)
2005: Mike Williams (USC)
2006: Ernie Sims (Florida State)
2007: Calvin Johnson (Georgia Tech)
2008: Gosder Cherilus (Boston College)

All together now...who? I mean, there is some talent in there, but no true "franchise" players. The Lions are hoping Matthew Stafford can change a decade of ineptitude. My only concern is that the extent of their draft analysis was based solely around his performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon:
