Is today the day that the 8th Circuit Court hands down a ruling on a stay of Judge Nelson's injunction? Who knows.

Going Deep
Pro Football Focus' Khaled Elsayed sifts through the deep pass numbers to find the NFL's best and worst long ball QB's in 2010. Rams' QB Sam Bradford completed 13 of 40 deep attempts (20+ yards).

No, in all seriousness, pro sports leagues have a vested interest in seeing the NHL win this case for fairly obvious reasons.
