Daily News Links: Happy Fourth of July Edition

Hey folks! I'm back from watching my eldest march in a Fourth of July parade and am set to grill burgers before we hit the fireworks. So, here are the quick and dirty links for the day.

I'm assuming you guys wouldn't miss it one way or the other today, but I like to make sure you have all the info you need in case you need something to take your mind off that 18th burger or hotdog.

There's very little "news" today, so I will use the links to highlight some Bleacher Report writers who have been doing good work and that I don't always get to include.
