By Ryan Corazza

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

+ On top of his NFL work, Matt Millen will also be doing college football stuff for ESPN. {ProFootballTalk.}

+ Ken Griffey Jr. was Judge Mo’ Money over the weekend. {FanHouse.}

+ Charles Barkley tries eating a piece of bread in 25 seconds. He fails. {NEWS Sports.}

+ The details on this Rick Pitino extortion cause. {The Dagger.}

+ Non-sports: “Mad Men” Season 2 will be out on DVD on July 14. {AMC TV.} New Kanye and Clipse track: “Kinda Like A Big Deal.” {Aziz is Bored.}

Quotable:

“Sure, I wish he didn’t come down quite so aggressively. But you’re playing the defending champions on the road. This is a Paul Pierce jumper from the free throw line. You can’t play solid. You have to make a play.

The reality is that you need to contest shots so aggressively all the time. That’s what Joakim does. You ask him to go hard, and he goes hard. The Celtics, too. And you can’t go that hard and not cross the line once in a while. Coach Moreau said it’s like asking someone to run 28 miles, and then getting mad because they ran 28 miles and one foot.

The fact is, you can’t apply standard rules to that guy. And Gator fans know what I mean when I say ‘thank goodness.’ His pushing those limits is a big reason why Florida won two titles, instead of none.” – David Thorpe on Joakim Noah’s foul at the end of regulation in Game 1
