Daily Links for Tuesday, August 23

In the interest of having nothing to write here, I'll offer this question: If you switched the Sidney Crosby/concussion recovery story to a Tom Brady/concussion recovery story, what do you think the over/under on ESPN reports per day would be? Would Ed Werder be sleeping outside Brady's house?

I am so glad that Brady does not have a concussion.

I am still so sick of seeing Bret Favre walking down his driveway to check his mail, driving is a POS pick up truck, and hanging on every word he said. I got to the point that I hated Favre. The coverage for Crosby is a joke. Considering how serious of an issue this is for the NFL as well. Of course the Little League world serious is way more important. Unfortunately I think the NHL needs to play nice with ESPN to get games back on their channels. It is the only way right now for the sport to grow.

I wish Crosby good luck. A great person, a great player, and a great ambassador to the game.

If the stories about Catenacci are true, I can’t imagine that Lindy and Darcy will be too terribly happy about it. He might end up in Jordon Southorn territory.

He was traded to the Owen Sound Attack. Seemed professional about it on his twitter account, no one knows his reasons for requesting the trade. Shit happens sometimes, I doubt it will affect his professional career.

Yeah, I’m not sure what to think, but the portrait some of the people in Sault Ste. Marie are painting is that he was upset about not getting more ice time and thinking he was a bigger deal than those drafted ahead of him. And him wanting more ice time at the U-18 tournament. Nothing will get him in hotter water with Lindy faster than a ‘tude.
Part of me is disinclined to believe this. From what I read on Sabres Prospects, Catenacci is a Toronto suburb guy. Those guys tend to not want to play for teams like the Soo because it’s so far from home and kind of in the middle of nowhere. It could have been that he was just unhappy there. But based on the comments that he, his dad, his agent and the team made there’s some weird things going on.
