Quote of the Day
"When you get to be my age and things start happening, it makes you suddenly realize if you're going to make these kinds of decisions, you got to make them while you're healthy. You don't want to be making them on a hospital bed. "-- Grizzlies Owner Michael Heisley, 75, on his decision to sell the franchise to Robert Pera. (FOXSPORTSFLORIDA.com, 6/11)

It's Good To Be Kings
NBC earned a 4.0 overnight rating for the Kings’ Stanley Cup-clinching Game Six win over the Devils last night, up slightly from a 3.9 for Bruins-Canucks Game Six last year. The 4.0 marks the best overnight for the Kings-Devils series. The game earned a 13.6 local rating in L.A. (THE DAILY). AWFUL ANNOUNCING's Matt Yoder writes Kings-Devils "produced good hockey, but it was always going to struggle in the ratings." Yoder: "While it's a disappointment for the NHL, it shouldn't be treated as some kind of death blow. If we had Rays v Reds in the World Series and Pacers v Blazers, you'd be reading the same stories" (AWFULANNOUNCING.com, 6/12).
