Re: Jason Collins
GC made reference to the Chris Broussard comments. Kind of "man bites dog" that all these tough NBA guys from the hood are either supportive or at least silent on the subject, while a guy from the liberal media speaks up in opposition to Collins.

First round, I'll go with Blackhawks, Red Wings, Sharks, Kings.
Blackhawks over Kings in final.
Brian, I know you hate the travel, but I think the Wings got a favorable draw in the Ducks. Sure better than a Chicago draw, travel aside.
Maybe they'll get Tampa in the first round next year.
