• Brian Wilson has quickly become my favorite pro athlete. Seriously, how can you not like the guy. Anyway, just in time for his activation from the DL list, an excellent ESPN piece on the Giant's closer: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6304952


• Matt Taibbi's latest for Rolling Stone: Why is the Federal Reserve forking over $220 million in bailout money to the wives of two Morgan Stanley bigwigs?
