As much as I bag on my school, at least the Economics of Professional Sports course is getting something right. On Thursday, Globe and Mail Columnist and award-winning, best selling authour Stephen Brunt will be in class to discuss the state of the NHL. He will touch on such topics as TV ratings and why Bettman needs to go. Not that he needed to explain that last point to us. So, if you guys have any pressing questions you need answered, feel free to fire them my way and I'll try to find my spine to raise my hand in class.

A Request
Some of you may or may not know that I'm a volunteer for our campus radio station, CFMU 93.3. Currently we are in the middle of our fundraising campaign and if you guys could spare some change and give to the cause that would be beyond fabulous.
But why exactly should you donate? Well, our motto is "Redefining Radio" and we are doing just that. Our station isn't one of those big corporate stations inundated with advertising. We don't get money from selling air-time and it is mostly volunteer-run. It's based in the Hamilton community and our goal isn't ratings but to give the community a voice. It's to bring a spotlight to issues that matter to the community that satellite radio can't provide and it provides a platform for local artists to break ground. So if you too feel the importance of community radio, please help us out in any way you can! Tell them Sherry sent you. Or don't.
Boy am I glad the NHL has found their sense of humour. Thanks Hockeygirl for finding that gem.
Boys will be boys, I guess.
