    Thanks for the secondary edits. When I posted the story last night, Pittsburgh was being mum on the whole Vokoun thing. Since the game is actually tonight, it'd make sense that we know who the starter is now.

    As for the contradicting predictions, it's a seven-game series. There's enough time for both Lundqvist to continue his hot streak while Boston's guys pick it up at some juncture. I don't see those as mutually exclusive.

    Joseph, I'm looking at data straight from NFL Game Statistics & Information System. The 49ers (50.91%) were 21st in red zone TD percentage, and the Ravens (57.14%) were 11th this season.

    Joseph, Thank you for catching and fixing my Jerry Rice slide. I realized the mistake when a commenter left me a message, and then I went in to fix it, but you were already in there doing the copy edit. You rock, sir. Thanks again.

    Thanks for catching my 2103 headline glitch! In addition, I clarified the remark on topspin and his flat winners. Thanks for your astute eye in noticing that. Most of all, thanks for your time and efforts.

    Hey thanks for the Baseball Reference tip. That's going to really come in handy.

    Thanks for the edits! And yeah, it was supposed to say "the Bulls may NOT have enough firepower." Sorry!

    Joseph, thanks for editing that monster.

    I have changed it back to Goetze though as that was correct. Its Gotze with a umlaut, without an umlaut it becomes Goetze.

    Thanks Joseph. Yeah, the story broke about him being fired literally as I published it, so I quickly went back in and updated it on the news I had. Thanks for changing it to better reflect the current climate. Appreciate it.
