Lost Time Is Not Found Again is what the MPS blog crew has been reading today.

+ I saw this punch to Blake Griffin’s balls live last night during the USC-Oklahoma game. It doesn’t hurt any less today. {The Dagger.}

+ Finally a Harris Smith Jersey. And a sweet one at that. {289 Design.}

+ A. Rod’s underwear is on eBay. {Boston Herald.}

+ A case to buy every single NFL team’s mini-helmet. {Kissing Suzy Kolber.}

+ Non-sports: Malcolm Gladwell’s speech at the AIGA Business and Design Conference. Quite good. {AIGA.org.} Banksy’s Crude Oil series. {High Snobiety.}

Quotable:

“After what seemed like years of meltdowns and unfulfilled expectations, Michelle Wie is finally kind of kicking ass. Two days into the 90-hole “caldron” of Q school, Wie is tied for the lead at 10-under after a second day in which she shot a bogey-free 7-under 65.

By the way, I put “caldron” in quotes because that’s what the USA Today article actually calls it (and also because I would use the more correct spelling cauldron). A bunch of women are walking around beautifully manicured lawns, occasionally hitting tiny balls with clubs while people speak in hushed tones, and that’s somehow a cauldron. It’s right up there with the pressure cooker of cruise-line shuffleboard and the unforgiving crucible of lying in a hammock.” – Matt Ufford gets quotable two days running
