Here’s a little extra from The MacBeth Report:
The newspaper Örnsköldsviks Allehanda was reporting Sunday night that MoDo Örnsköldsvik has called a press conference for Monday at 1.30 PM local time (4.30 a.m. PDT). The paper speculates that the presser will announce that MoDo has signed Vancouver Canucks F Samuel Påhlsson. Påhlsson told the paper in late May: "My family and I are considering moving home, but there is nothing definite. There are many pros and cons and it is a big decision to make. After all, my wife and I have been living abroad for most of our adult lives. Meanwhile, we have family and friends back home in Sweden. If I go home, I will play for MoDo."

My man The Sports Curmudgeon sent me this link right here. It’s an old Nike baseball commercial featuring Tom Glavine, who once was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings, and Greg Maddux. And it is hilarious. Give it a look.
