The man, the myth, the legend; these are the things you may be reading about [Justin Pogge](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54300/Justin%5FPogge?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) in the main stream media. None of them are true.

Today's collection of links looks at every aspect of the Pogge deal, ad nauseum. Enjoy the final farewell.

- A two-fer from TML-Nation. First, [an inside look](http://tml-nation.blogspot.com/2009/08/nazem-kadris-training-camp-wjc.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at the Nazdaq's performance during the Canadian Junior Hockey training camps (is it just me, or is my stock rising?

- The Other Vatican points out the [symbolism of what Burke did in jettisoning Mr. Pogge](http://theothervatican.blogspot.com/2009/08/from-oracle-pogge-trade.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)./
