FanHouse’s Top Five scans the sports blogosphere for the best posts of the last 24 hours so you don’t have to. Got something for this feature? Hit us up at fanhouse@googlegroups.com.

1) Yesterday was quite a day for us headline-hungry sports fanatics: not only did Kevin Garnett finally, finally get traded — and to Boston! — the sports world lost a true mastermind in Bill Walsh. Walsh’s accomplishments (the West Coast offense; a coaching lineage to rival Moses’s) are well know, but EDSBS remembered to mention one of Walsh’s greatest additions to the football fan canon: College Football National Championship. Even then, Bo Jackson was unstoppable.

2) It wasn’t hard to find Garnett news yesterday; news outlet after news outlet jumped in on the story (albeit with differing versions of the deal) throughout the day. But lost in all of that was the fact that CelticsBlog.com, a, you guessed it, blog about the Celtics, actually broke the news first.

3) Believe it or not, Barry Bonds might have, maybe, maybe became a Devil Ray back in the day, if the chips would have fallen ever so slightly. The Sporting Orange looked at what might have been.

4) It’s the offseason, but Carnival of the NBA never rests.

5) Finally, FanHouse’s own Pat Lackey had the best take on the Mark Teixeira trade anywhere on the net. Sellers market? You better believe it.
