Monday 04/21 A.M. Quickie:
Gasol, Danica, Big Hurt, Draft, More

Today's Names to Know in today's Sporting News column:

Pau Gasol, Sixers, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Spurs-Suns, Danica Patrick, Habs-Bruins, Jared Allen, Jason Taylor, Eli Manning, Lorena Ochoa, Aaron Harang, Chase Utley, David Ortiz and More!

Including:
Pau Gasol IS the Lakers' missing ingredient...
The Sixers enjoy more than moral victory...
Chris Paul and Dwight Howard are even better now...
I'm no NHL fanatic, but I love NHL Game 7s...
Eli Manning is better prepped for marriage than most...
Why I am not making fun of Big Papi anymore...

And here's an interesting one: Danica Patrick may have had the best weekend of the year of any woman in sports, but Lorena Ochoa had the best weekend of the year in women's sports.

A lot more in the column, after the jump.

I'm traveling back from Gainesville to NYC this afternoon, so posting may be light. If you have way too much time on your hands, there's always my TMI interview from Friday with the Northwestern football blog, Lake The Posts.

Gasol played well, but we need to keep in mind he put those goofy numbers up against a team that can't play defense to save its life. If Gasol plays that well in round two and beyond, then you can get excited.

That third period of game six between the Bruins and Habs had to be one of the most exciting periods of playoff hockey ever. That's the kind of game that could turn fairweather NHL fans (like myself) into diehard NHL fans.
