- We are in day 8 of the lockout but it feels like day 60 to me.

- The Twitter list I created for hockey insiders has turned into a list of baseball, football and political insiders.

- Last Sunday I experienced the NFL's read zone coverage on DirecTV. Then I reflected on the Center Ice package where we are still getting hockey games in SD. It just shows you how wide the gap is.

- My ultimate dream is the NHL comes back in time for the Winter Classic, but not a single fan shows up for the game. The Big House becomes the Empty House.

- I've read too many articles on why the lockout may benefit (insert team name here). Are you kidding me?
