In todays edition, Kristen Cavallari gets engaged to Jay Cutler, Derrick Rose and other NBA players get mad about foul calls that almost surely were correct, Joe Posnanski and Jon Washburn provide the best of the web and of MSF, and Mother Nature knocks your socks off with the craziest looking fish youve ever seen.
Get used to Jon Washburns article showing up here in the Best of MSF section, because nearly everything he submits stands out as a shining example of the terrific analysis and insight that the MSF team is capable of, and what bloggers in general are capable of when they truly love understand the games they cover.

A new section Im starting today, inspired by one of my favorite writers: the great Joe Posnanski.

Word broke today that Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler popped the question to Kristen Cavallari and that she said yes. Unlike the Bears, Cavallari did not have to trade any premium draft picks to land Cutler, so thats good. It also provides an obvious tiein to make her todays best beauty.
