Way Too Easy

Some of you may have wondered why, in my last post, I was skeptical about the report from Sid Hartman and Charley Walters about Phil Kessel definitely coming back to school. I mean, afterall, Walters has that cool nickname, and Hartman has been in the news business for years, first gaining notoriety for his groundbreaking coverage of the XYZ Affair. So why exactly would I doubt these two guys? Oh yeah, this:

"That's not the case," said Kessel, reached at his Wisconsin home, when asked about two Minnesota-based newspaper reports that had him committing to a second season with the Gophers. "I don't know where that came from."

I could probably tell you where it came from, but it would require a sigmoidoscopy. At least the the two Twin Cities papers still provide hundreds of dollars of coupon savings fun every Sunday.
