Nicklas Lidstrom proved to himself he is still one of the NHL's best defenseman last season and that is good news for Detroit fans.
No one would have blamed Detroit manager Jim Leyland had he done a rain dance in the dugout with Clayton Kershaw dominating his team inning after inning.
As talks between the owners and the players in the NFL's labor dispute — which have gone from notably public to noticeably private in recent weeks — drag on, the above-mentioned question has become the major issue.

Penny, who will be on the mound Monday night, was an All-Star with Los Angeles in 2006 and 2007, when he went 32-13 with a 3.65 ERA, but the Dodgers declined his team option following an injury-plagued 2008 in which he posted a 6.27 ERA.
NFL owners will meet Tuesday, and perhaps into Wednesday, to discuss the status of negotiations with the players aimed at ending the lockout now in its fourth month.
