In Sports Illustrated This Week...

Two articles of interest in this week's SI (the one with RG III on the cover)....

  • A brief essay by Joe Posnanski advocating that the Save should be eliminated as a baseball statistic. It will make for better pitching staffs and more effective bullpens.  Trust me, it is something to think about.
  • A lengthy excerpt from a new book "Over Time, My Life As a Sportswriter" a memoir by Frank DeFord.  The excerpt was about DeFord covering the NBA in the early '60s when it was a nine team league and far from the "major" league it is today.  The DeFord book releases next month and will no doubt be an excellent one.
