I don't know if this got included in yesterday's links but it has some good tidbits in it. Reign in Spain changing with Barcelona's rise - Boston Globe Starting at the end of the first page: Spector is listed at 6 feet, 185 pounds but appears closer in size to his late grandfather, Art Spector, the first player ever signed by the NBA's Celtics in 1945.

''Manchester United has two other US players -- goalkeeper Tim Howard and 17-year-old striker Giuseppe Rossi, both from New Jersey." Might be wishful thinking on the Rossi part. I mean, I know he's American, but it's a stretch to call him a U.S. player when he lines up for Italy youth team games. Still, there's always hope until he gets capped by Italy as a senior international, I guess.
