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

+ Joe Mauer is your AL MVP, no questions asked. {Larry Brown Sports.}

+ The Vikings are selling Brett Favre practice jerseys. Charming. {No Guts, No Glory.}

+ Even more famous people now own a piece of the Dolphins. The latest? Venus and Serena Williams. {Shutdown Corner.}

+ A YouTube co-founder is financially backing a F1 team. {Sportress of Blogitude.}

+ Non-sports: New Walkmen video for “On the Water.” {Stereogum.} World of Warcraft now has a magazine. Wierd timing, eh? {Mashable.}

Quotable:

“John Calipari owes his job at Kentucky to an outdated NCAA reflex and a tight-lipped administration at Memphis. I frankly don’t understand the Skull-and-Bones-Society-level secrecy that attends the NCAA’s Notices of Allegations. Memphis received their NOA in January. If the allegations had been publicly known, there is no earthly way John Calipari would have been hired by Kentucky on April 1. Yes, the UK administration was apprised of the situation before they pulled the trigger on the hire. I just can’t believe that Calipari would have been the winner of a search process where the administration and the public at large were working from the same set of facts. (Or am I giving Kentucky too much credit?) When a regulatory arm of the federal government alleges wrongdoing at a publicly traded firm, they say so. The firm is of course entitled to a day in court and maybe the allegations will turn out to be groundless. But the earth continues to spin.” – John Gasaway
