Little bit of NHL free agent news...

Chicago passes on Antii Niemi, after salary arbitration awarded him $2.75 mill for the coming season. Instead, they'll sign Marty Turco to a 1 year, $1.3 mill contract.

Officially using the Huddle as a link dump: sportsnet's LI5T has a handful of commercial advertisements by celebrity athletes. In response to this stupidly hilarious endorsement deal for Kenny $&%ing Powers (NSFW).
