Biggest sports stories of the year (So Far)

The Atlantic has a pretty good list of the biggest sports stories of the year so far. Here's what they have:

• Penn State Scandal
• NBA lockout
• NFL lockout
• St Louis miraculous game 6 in the World Series
• Aaron Rodgers and the Packer's Perfect (So Far) 2011
• Dirk Nowitzki's NBA title at the big three's expense
• Bruins win first Stanley Cup since 1972
• U.S. women just miss world cup
• VCU makes the final four
• Johnson's reign ends with best NASCAR race ever

I have some minor issues and a few omissions that I would like to point out. 

An open letter to Mike McQueary

By now, I'm sure you've heard more than you care to about the child sex abuse scandal at Penn State. Obviously, in the months and maybe years to come, you're going to hear a lot more. In the meantime though, I would urge you to read Jane Leavy's open letter to former graduate assistant Mike McQueary, the man who testified to a grand jury about witnessing Sandusky sexually abusing a child in a shower room at Penn State. It's one of the most well-written and thought-provoking pieces I have read on the scandal.
