Sticking with today's sports theme (but leaving football), Chris Bourque signed with the Washington Capitals yesterday. Some of you will know him as the son of Bruins great Ray Bourque and burgeoning star of the Boston University hockey team, who left school after this past season to play in the major juniors, only to wind up with the AHL's Portland Pirates.

I know hitting the books wasn't his thing, but he may wish he'd sucked it up a bit more given the prospects for the Caps this year. Heck, a season in Hershey would be an improvement; at least they've got all that chocolate.
