This week’s roundup has something for everyone.
Although headband fans will mourn, there is plenty of good news about the Bench Mob, winning on the road and Sasha’s use of Twitter.
Top pick: Like many fans, I’m partial to videos, so I’m going with John Ireland’s post-game interview in Detroit.

Agree about the John Ireland interview…Loved Sasha’s facial expression when John asked him “what would be a successful road trip” - you KNOW Sasha wanted to say “7-0″…LOL
