Best of luck to 'em. They have enough trouble communicating their propaganda to their own people. Count me in the "whatever" camp - not that it isn't strange or interesting, just that it's not going to change my life or the world I live in.

Seems like a fine idea to me - everyone wants to avoid Facebook charging for general usage, so this allows those most willing to pay to contribute without punishing those of us that would consider leaving. It doesn't make any of its current features off-limits, it just lets people pay their way to the top of my news feed. Google does the same thing.

I'll admit I have no business picking the Western conference, where 3 of my 4 misses were. Boston/Caps went to OT in game 7, I had Bruins in 7 but Bergeron missed the net - oh well. Who didn't have the Pens winning? After Philly's performance in round 1 I think they have to be the Cup favorites right now.

So far it's been crazy with parity. Western Conference will be represented by a really new face. None of those teams have been contenders in the 21st century that I can remember. Should be interesting - especially St. Louis, which should be a strong hockey town but has had a terrible decade. Pittsburgh, Boston, and Buffalo didn't sell out when they were terrible in the early 00s, I think a Blues run could make that market a lot more fun.

Also, as much as I prefer having a Winnipeg team to an Atlanta one - recognizing all those hockey markets I just mentioned that sold poorly in down years, and how Atlanta never put a good product on the ice, was it really fair for the city to lose them? Thrashers had no chance to get big if they never won, and that's true of most American markets - even a big original 6er  like Boston

I'm hoping Bills can get either Martin, Hill, or Glenn. Gilmore's a nice addition at a needed spot but we need an LT.

I think Dolphins and Jets both made poor selections. Surprising to see Pats trade up for the front 7, probably will pay off.

Yeah the issue of who owns your image would be a major concern. And if you get an inventory of legends in that form, would festival tours of them be able to take a lot of money away from current, living artists? I certainly think so. I'd spend less on living acts to see holograms of certain dead legends I've had no chance to see. Over time the inventory and accuracy of the legends will only grow and grow... world tours for living people - that's expensive! Not to mention the greenhouse emissions. Maybe I'm crazy but I think public taste would definitely be honed to this as long-term costs go down. And then music will have lost something it's had for a very long time.
