Preface: Lane Kiffin just got the rawest deal of any man in any situation ever.
Al Davis doesn't want to pay the man after making him a symbol of public ridicule, and all he ever did was try to make the Oakland Raiders competitive once again.
Word is he was even locked out of his defensive meetings, so how exactly would you expect him to keep his team on the same page?
All I have to say is that at least this soap opera is over.
The Montreal Canadiens rivaled the Philadelphia Flyers as the biggest surprise last season.
Many figured that the Canadiens would be 11th in the Eastern Conference or somewhere near it. No one thought they'd be competing for their 25th Stanley Cup in their 99th year of being a franchise.
Now it's year 100 and they're out to make it memorable.

How did 2007/08 go? 47-25-10, 104 points, first in Northeast, First in conference, lost in 2nd Round of 2008 Playoffs (Eastern Conference)
2008/09 Goal: 1st in the Conference, Reach Stanley Cup Finals
Let's break'er down...
The most legendary team in NHL history is back for their most historical season ever...or at least they hope.
The first franchise to ever score 10,000 goals, the franchise with the most Stanley Cups, and an establishment with such a rich history that they'll have to be the first team to introduce triple digits on the back of the jersey is ready and raring to go for their 100th season.
And fans of Les Habitants are expecting nothing short of success.
If I hear one more Price is Right joke, Marc Denis may join Cirque du Solei...
