Not a lot of big news today, which makes tonight a great time to check out a little long-form journalism. Remember that? We bloggers tend to shun it — probably because large numbers of readers also shun it — but it doesn't make the feature-length articles any less worthwhile or intriguing.
So grab an energy drink if you have to, but take a look at SI.com's interesting inspection of the economic downturn and its affect on pro sports teams. It may not be having the effect you think it might.
I'm also trying to find footage from last night's "E:60," ESPN's version of "60 Minutes." For some reason, it's the only segment not posted online. In it, NHL pest and Stars forward Sean Avery expresses his enthusiasm for women's hand bags and fashion. Not exactly the sentiments you'd expect from a hockey player who doesn't hesitate to mix it up on the ice. Is Sean Avery hockey's Dennis Rodman? Does this mean the Prada lover will ask for a trade to the Devils?
This isn't totally an out of the blue development. In April it was announced that Avery would be working as an intern at Vogue. During New York's Fashion Week he watched a runway show sitting between Martha Stewart and Winona Ryder. And for anyone thinking he might be a little light in the skates, you should cut that talk right now, seeing as how he dated Elisha Cuthbert.
