Philadelphia Daily News: NFL Films is taking shots. It’s sad but not surprising that NFL Films is falling out of favor with the NFL. This is one of those decisions that everyone will look back on a decade from now and marvel at its stupidity.

Andrew Leonard: Paulson’s bogus plan to regulate the markets.
Wired Compiler: Watch Your Database Threads. Cool tool for monitoring MySQL performance.
