The Tampa Bay Lightning report Entourage meet NHL Stars:
Henrik Lundqvist, Vincent Lecavalier and Martin Brodeur were in New York City on Wednesday night to catch the premiere of the fifth season of HBO's Emmy-nominated series, Entourage...

Lundqvist said he was just as happy to meet some of the stars from one of his favorite TV shows.

"I'm a big fan of the show," he said. "I never watch every Sunday but I try to do that. But I always buy the box set and watch all the episodes in about two days."

Michael Kay of ESPN radio was discussing today how pro athletes get paid serious money to show up at ceremonies and sporting events.

For example, Michael Strahan was reportedly paid $75,000 for his cameo at last night's NY Giants home opener. And the Mets are paying Tom Seaver between $200,000 and $250,000 to show up at an upcoming ceremony. Even old timers get paid to show up at an "Old Timers" baseball game. So this note about Eric Lindros not showing up at a Philadelphia Flyers preseason ceremony, says a lot:
One side note today, as it somehow seems fitting that Eric Lindros won't be able to make it to the Flyers' preseason ceremony that will celebrate the history of the Spectrum. Lindros explained to the Philly Inquirer that he will be attending a memorial service.
