One of the great features of the new SBN platform is that I can schedule posts to run at any time in the future. In fact, the "LEAFS WIN STANLEY CUP!" post is ready to run at 1:36am (it's game 7 in overtime in case you were wondering) on June 8th, 2012. So this piece, while appearing sometime Saturday morning, was written sometime Friday afternoon/evening. This will be huge when I go on vacation this summer but that's a whole other post. Anyway, instead of laying dormant on a Saturday out of a mixture of sloth, lack of internet access, and sloth here are some links to check get you through your day.

    Who's going to replace Will Leitch? Lately a lot of the work has been farmed out so I wonder if you'll notice the change but there are some good candidates.
    Purely puerile video of the day. I agree. Let's get 24/7 coverage of her hula-ing./
