A late version of the links today, the lovely Physics department at the University of Michigan wants me to know how to calculate the velocity of a photon if given the gross national product of China and a Tickle-Me-Elmo doll.
- The UConn women’s basketball team finished off their second straight perfect season with a National Championship, beating Stanford 53-47. The win stretched UConn’s win streak to a whopping 78 games. The kicker? This is the first time UConn has played this close of a game (read: single digits) since Stanford beat them in the 2008 Final Four (read: UConn’s last loss).
- Toronto Raptors superstar Chris Bosh broke his face last night…literally. Whatever slim chances the Raptors had in the playoffs this year just went out the window, if they even get there. [Photo via Deadspin]
- If you were to ask Mets manager Jerry Manuel, he’d probably call Lions GM Martin Mayhew’s recent moves, Manuel would probably say, “That’s serious gangsta right there.” Fortunately for us Lions fans, Mayhew likes it. The Lions traded Robert Henderson for Seahawks G Rob Sims, while swapping picks with Seattle as well. Henderson has never played a down in the NFL. Sims has started for two years on a solid Seahawks offensive line. Advantage: Gangsta Mayhew.
- Tiger Woods jokes be damned. Hooters will hold its third annual Par 3 bikini contest today alongside the infamous Par 3 shootout at the Masters. Check out Busted Coverage for a preview of the competition.
- Donovan McNabb was officially introduced by the Washington Redskins yesterday. I’m still trying to figure out what’s up with his creepy moustache. Bud Selig, on the other hand, could care less.
- He’s been at the helm for a while now, but Trey Kerby of Ball Don’t Lie finally toughened up and formally introduced himself to the masses. Kerby and sidekick Kelly Dwyer (man, he would hate that title) have been doing a fantastic job with the site since J.E. Skeets
sold outmoved over to The Score.
- At Winging It In Motown, Casey advocates for the Red Wings management to reward Drew Miller with a new contract. Miller, a former MSU standout, was signed earlier in the season and has flourished in the Wings system. I think most fans would be in favor of this move, especially with the positive effect Miller has had on the Wings penalty kill lately.
- If I was an asshole like the highlight makers at a certain sports conglomerate, I’d put this video from Total Pro Sports in my “Not Top 10” too. Fortunately for you readers, I have my evil moments.
Rob’s Highlight of the Day
I can’t embed the video (seriously MLB, come on) but Evan Longoria hit a bomb of a home run against the Baltimore Orioles last night. He’ll definitely be a front runner in the AL MVP race this year.
