Weekend Hot Reads....

The WASHINGTON POST's Sally Jenkins wrote Mo'Ne Davis made the cover of SI "because a man deemed her unrepulsive enough to put her there." Had she been "playing ball against other girls, instead of boys, they never would have wasted a thought on her." Jenkins: "While it’s great that a 13-year-old girl was treated as an accomplished athlete, I’d be more grateful if Candace Parker and Diana Taurasi ... didn’t have to spend the winter in Russia just to make a decent living."

The BOSTON GLOBE's Chad Finn writes under the header, "NFL Draft Went From Meager Start To TV Royalty." There "is not another professional sports league in the United States that more effectively sells the enticing premise of the unknown to its fans."

The ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION's Jeff Schultz talks with Braves Chair Terry McGuirk, who said of how long he has been with the franchise, "I've been with the organization since 1976. I'd like to see if anybody has been to more baseball games in Atlanta than me since 1976. I've been to over 2,000 games."
