The cost of no hockey season

This is a (for me) rare trip outside of the realm of technology in my blog.  So if that's what you're hear for, feel free to skip to the next entry.

For those of you still with me, how about $1 billion.  That's a 1 followed 9 zeros.  More than chump change, even BillG. And yet, that's roughly what the NHL players will *not* be paid this year.  Check out Mark Cubans blog (always a fascinating look into the business of sports) for the rationale and why he puts Bob Goodenow into rare company.
