Montana worried that "the NFL has too many black guys."

Like the entire state? Maybe that's why they never got a team.

David E Davis editor of Automobile magazine spoke of fanatic quote reformers and safety zealots, using the term Savonarolas in an Automotive News interview. It was taken in by the reported and then printed as "Savannah Rollers."

NY Times wrote of "Saturday Night Girls" as Boston prostitutes circa 1900.They were socialites who gathered to do good works on the eve of the Sabbath.

Blockus is usually pretty good, as small-town sports writers go.  I sent him an email pointing out the mistake.  We'll see if he responds.

Also, the announcers on the Phantoms TV broadcast last night had some good things to say about Cole.  Too bad the game was so hard to watch (Syracuse 6 - Lehigh Valley 1).

Jake McDonald signed with the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL.

He corrected it.  

He also said that the interview took place in a locker room "full of music" and he could barely hear what Cole was saying.

Sounds like the Phil Spector " Wall of Sound" defense.

That might have worked out better for Phil than the defense he used.

The "Nutty as a Fruitcake" defense was most applicable for Spector.

I assume they were listening to the loneliest monk.

LOL.  But it took me a few seconds.

With Edmonton picking up Cam Talbot today for draft picks, Ben Scrivens is facing likely diminshed playing time with the Oilers, assuming no further deals.

Oilers fans will recall the gaudy numbers that Ben Scrivens posted as a backup with the Los Angeles Kings, after a similar stint as the Kings No. 1 when Jonathan Quick was injured, the same way Talbot carried the ball this season when Lundqvist went down for an extended period. Those numbers never made the flight to Edmonton with Scrivens, and that is exactly why Chiarelli found himself in the goalie market at this draft.

The Kings roster didn't make the flight with Scrivens, either.
