I've voted for the American League Cy Young Award at times. And if I had a vote this year, and the season ended today, I'd vote for the Angels' Jered Weaver, not the Tigers' Justin Verlander. Weaver has just as many wins ((9) - and a lower ERA. Believe it or not, he is having a better season than Verlander.

- Kyle Singler was a great college player at Duke. Truly decorated. I remember watching him play against Kevin Love in the high school state title games in Oregon. Excellent games. But in reality, Singler just seems too slow and unathletic to have much of an impact in the NBA. I can't envision him doing that much for the Pistons.

- With Joey MacDonald electing to go elsewhere, and Thomas McCollum not anywhere near ready to play in the NHL, will it open the door for the return of Chris Osgood to the Red Wings? I doubt it. It's one thing to play ineffectively, but another to not be able to even get on the ice. Ozzie's injury issues the last two seasons would make it difficult for the Red Wings to justify his return. The Red Wings will likely have acquire a goalie via free agency or a trade.
