KILL - Prospect Q&A - Derrick Robinson, Royals
Some people are fast, some are really fast, and then there's Derrick Robinson. The 5' 11", 170-pounder was a standout defensive back in high school and reportedly ran a 4.25-second 40-yard dash before signing a letter of intent to play football for his hometown Florida Gators.

We'll also check in on Team USA, which got a major lift from its lone collegian yesterday in a badly needed win over the Netherlands. By Tom Stad.

Family on Bikes: The Logistics of Riding - Part 9
On our bikes, we have steel racks in the front and rear on which we attach panniers. Panniers are saddlebags for bikes that have hooks on top and clips on the bottom that attach to the racks. We have a variety of styles and sizes – a very mismatched set, if you ask me. In our panniers we carry mostly small items, which are all wrapped in plastic bags so they don’t get wet in case of rain.
