Wednesday Morning Stuff

We are going to try and do this as much as we can considering our schedule. Here are a few of the interesting stories from last night and early this morning.

Miller Gets Standing "O" in Pittsburgh...Crosby reaction...not as exciting...

Last night the Pittsburgh Penguins honored both their's and the Buffalo Sabres Olympic Hockey players before the start of their game. The reactions...well they were interesting. Buffalo Goalie Ryan Miller, the Olympic MVP...got a huge standing ovation that lasted for a while. The other players for other countries all got a nice ovation from the Penguin crowd.

When Penguin captain Sidney Crosby popped up. Well...the reaction was a bit mixed.

**Added note. Apparently Crosby's gloves and stick from the Gold Medal game have gone missing (shock). According to reports, he had flung them in the air after his game winning goal and they got lost in all the ensuing chaos. The Hockey Hall of Fame asked for the equipment and...well unless it can be found, they may be waiting a while.

Here is last nights video from the NHL Network and NHL.com:

Air Tran Flight Attendants don't like Swimsuits...

An interesting story from Atlanta late yesterday. Apparently a group of AirTran flight attendants are upset that the airline used a picture of a swimsuit model (Brooklyn Decker) in a plane sponsorship deal with Sports Illustrated to promote their swimsuit issue.

They called the image "Offensive" and "Contrary to the family image that this company tries to promote".

Okay, while they are certainly within their rights to complain in this entirely too PC world, the sponsorship deal is about to run out. Why wait to complain now? The picture isn't exactly an offensive one. Just sayin'....

Other Tidbits for Today-

**Today is the trade deadline for the NHL. There has already been tons of activity before today, don't expect anything of major significance, there are too many teams still in contention for a playoff berth.

***Spring Training Baseball is in full bloom. There were 2 games yesterday, a fuller slate of games start today.

****The NFL Pro Bowl will go back to Hawaii next season and will be again played one week before the Super Bowl...anyone care?

That's all for now, keep checking in as we will update stories over the course of the day. Enjoy!
