h. Beernerdness: Copycat Beer of the Week (and I'm not complaining), straight from the Salt Lake City Airport: Wasatch White Label White Ale. Closest thing to Allagash White that I've tasted, and there's a reason. Wasatch White uses some of the same ingredients as Allagash White, including orange peel and coriander. In this case, copying is very good. That's a fine, fine beer, Wasatch.
Finally, kudos to the Diamondbacks for drafting paralyzed Arizona State outfielder Cory Hahn in the 34th round of this year's MLB Draft (he wore number 34 at ASU) ... and not just making a ceremony out of it. The club is going to offer Hahn -- paralyzed from the chest down on a freak 2011 head-first slide when his head hit the knee of an opponent -- a job.
c. Pete Abraham is the best. The Boston Globe Red Sox beat man is a great Twitter follow (@PeteAbe) and good nicknamer. Dustin Pedroia is "Scrappy McScraperson.''

Figures these two boobs would have a mutual admiration society.
John Marzano Olympic Hero said:I'm pretty sure that Abraham's Pedroia nickname is tongue-in-cheek and sarcastic, though it doesn't surprise me that tis sails right over King's gigantic noggin.
E5 Yaz said:That gigantic noggin is getting his sportswriter of the year award ... which none of us would have known had he not written about it himself, then lavished praise on the group bestowing it on him

4. I think Pearl Jam stands in the top five most significant American rock bands of the past 50 years.
Um...on what basis?Others I would include, in no particular order, are: The Doors, Van
Halen, R.E.M and The Grateful Dead. If we consider individuals like Bob
Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Springsteen, the list gets mangled. I
would replace R.E.M and the Doors with Dylan and Hendrix.
I think it's scary that a grown man thinks Pearl Jam is the most significant American rock band in history.5. I think it's scary that 20 percent of Americans think the sun revolves around the earth.
And I'm sure that Steve referred to the Quarterback as the "Q", and corrected everyone else who called him the "QB".10. I think the acronym for this column should be MMQ. Quarterback is one word.
https://twitter.com/SI_PeterKing/status/346618878673178625Thanks for the superb MMQB today, @team_gleason: ... First MMQB of all time written with one's eyes. Tremendous.

1) comments about gun control;
2) a 20/20 hindsight breakdown of the 2010 draft;
3) at least one "nothing good ever happens after midnight" reference;
4) a cryptic "I never got to know Aaron very well... comment that vaguely implies that this, alone, was a red flag.
5) a racist comment regarding Latinos and "culture".
OOOOO BOY!
https://twitter.com/SI_PeterKing/status/349906518721839104He was the 113th pick in 2010 for a reason.
No, JMOH, its because...John Marzano Olympic Hero said:Yes. The reason is, no one wanted to draft a murderer.
That's basically what King is saying.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/04/25/draft/4.htmlLove what the Belichicks did at tight end in the last five weeks, signing free-agent filler Alge Crumpler (maybe a one-year bit of glue), then drafting Rob Gronkowski at 42 and Aaron Hernandez at 113. Hernandez was thievery; watching Florida four or five times on TV in the fall and on tape last week, I thought he looked like a bona fide NFL tight end right now.

Listen, I am going to hang up now ... No, please listen carefully to me. I don't want it, I don't need it, and I am going to hang up right now but I do not want you to think I'm rude -- ... Bye.

Suited slim man, thinking he can be heard through a bad connection if he screams: "On a TRAIN. YES. SORRY! ... YOU GOT ME? YOU GOT ME?'' ...

Jewelried woman: "I got that in play. Correct ... We're moving forward in good faith.''
Not even to Bridgeport yet. How did we survive?
Since Scott Pioli left the organization in 2009, Belichick doesn't have anyone to argue him off troubled players. Not that Pioli won all the time. "But,'' someone with knowledge of the Patriots front office told me, "there's no one there with Scott's balls anymore. Bill needs someone to challenge him, and I don't think he has that now." Would Pioli have challenged Belichick on Hernandez, or on Alfonzo Dennard, the seventh-round corner who will have to leave camp in August to go to a probation trial in Nebraska and who last week was arrested for DUI? I don't know, and there's no guarantee those picks wouldn't have been made anyway. But this isn't the first time I've heard the Pioli thing.

Tweet of the Week III
"Aaron Hernandez's lawyers just filed a motion to have his trial moved to Sanford, Florida.''
-- @HubbuchNYP, Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post
The Zimmerman trial was in Sanford.
Dogman2 said:Someone with knowledge of the Pats front office can be just about anyone. I have some knowledge, Rev has some knowledge and you have some knowledge.
Hell, this "knowledge" could be coming from any media member that is or has been at odds with BB at some point. I'm betting it's Felger, Borges or even, potentially, Curran.
Vandalman said:Interesting Twitter exchange between Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily and Greg Bedard
Bruce Allen @bruceallen
. @SI_PeterKing @ProFootballTalk so if Pioli would've checked Belichick on Hernandez, who checked Pioli on Belcher? Silly premise.
Greg A. Bedard @GregABedard
@bruceallen @SI_PeterKing @ProFootballTalk UDFA. Not a whole lot of discussion
Patriots Daily @PatriotsDaily
@GregABedard @bruceallen @SI_PeterKing @ProFootballTalk Where were the Pioli checks and balances when they drafted Meriweather?
Greg A. Bedard @GregABedard
@PatriotsDaily @bruceallen a better point, but that opinion is from somebody who knows Pats front office. Not just thrown against wall
Bruce Allen @bruceallen
@GregABedard @PatriotsDaily The dreaded "someone who knows." I hate that guy.
Patriots Daily @PatriotsDaily
@GregABedard @bruceallen Even if source is good, facts contradict the inference. SP gave tacit approval for previous "questionable" picks.
Greg A. Bedard @GregABedard
@PatriotsDaily @bruceallen You don't know that. He could have objected and BB overruled. That's not tacit approval.
Patriots Daily @PatriotsDaily
@GregABedard @bruceallen Exactly. So he must not have been much of a counterweight then, huh?
