Well the last four days have been really fun for me -- vomiting, a fever and eating nothing but crackers. Good times. Big thanks to PCS for helping out while I was under the weather. I'm feeling a little better now so let's do some links. If some things aren't funny I apologize, I'm drugged up (the legal kind).
Blues news
- Get ready for more articles praising the Blues this year. [Blues]
- Fare the well, Mike Glumac. [ECHL.com]
Hockey news
- Is Sergei Zubov really the greatest D-man in Dallas Stars history? Wow. We are spoiled in St. Louis. Oh ... he's probably done in Dallas. [ESPN]
- Tampa Bay Lightning co-owner Len Barrie has to come up with some scratch ... quickly. [TSN]
- This is what free agency has come to: Tom Kostopoulos makes the news for signing with the Canes. [TSN]
- Schedules come out today. You think SportsCenter will have a half-hour long program like they did for the NFL schedule? [Puck Daddy]
- This is a great idea. [Cycle like the Sedins]
Other links
- A live-blog ish look at pictures posted on twit pic. Pretty random. May be not safe for work. [PingWire]
- Growing up in Franklin County I saw a lot of kids that looked like this. Ladies and gents: kids with mullets. [Now That's Nifty]
- I haven't been to a library in a long-ass time. And that includes my time in college. Apparently they have some weird books there. [Awful Library Books]

Thank God
Any more sick days and I was going to bust out my Brad Lee-esque paint skills and doctor a “Save Ferris” image.

'No' to the idea of the luxury tax.
The richer franchises already give money to the poorer ones; it’s called revenue sharing. (Or, in Phoenix’s case, “gubmint check”.)
Luxury tax systems are a great way to allow the same few teams to win, while forcing the rest of the league into indifference. Baseball has a limited luxury tax; has it slowed down the payroll inflation of the Yankees and Red Sox? Not in the slightest. The NBA has a soft cap system with a luxury tax; how’s the attendance in places like Milwaukee and Atlanta and Seattle Vancouver New Orleans?
Since 1984, a total of seven different NBA teams have won championships. Sure, the Lakers’ string of titles helps them push a ton of yellow-and-purple merchandise; but how does the long-term lack of competitive balance help the league as a whole? Why should a basketball fan in Memphis make the commitment to a basketball team that, without deep ownership pockets to exploit the soft cap, will never be able to build a championship-caliber squad?
I’m really surprised that a Vancouver fan wrote this, in light of the Grizzlies’ failure there. Soft caps don’t work. Period.

I think James was being sarcastic...
… in a kind of “hmm, what if…” kind of way.
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

Mike Glumac.
I honestly had no idea he was still in North America. Wow.
