Notables…

• TCU’s Matt Purke, Bryan Holaday and Taylor Featherston were named to the College World Series All-Tournament today. With three wins, the Horned Frogs had an excellent showing in their first trip to Omaha.
• Dirk Nowitzki is flying to Dallas on Thursday to negotiate with the Mavericks. Nowitzki opted out of his contract earlier this week and is eligible to be a free agent. Originally, Donnie Nelson was scheduled to go to Germany, so the fact that Dirk is making an effort to come to Dallas is a good sign.
• The Stars declined to re-sign Mike Modano. The 40-year-old will entertain the idea of playing for another team. Weird!
