This Week's Links (11/26-11/30)

First of all, the Mets are about to trade Lastings Milledge for Brian Schneider and Ryan Church (or, if you prefer, Ryan Schneider)? How is this a good idea?

Is it really too much to ask to not irresponsibly speculate and jump to conclusions about the cause of Sean Taylor's death?

"College is for losers- in football, and in life". Sure is, Carl.

Tim Raines should be in the Hall of Fame.

Posnanski's excessively long (4200 words) but brilliant post on Herschel Walker's college career.
