This week’s Sports Illustrated includes a great story on the Sean Avery train wreck, starting with his days in junior hockey through the Dallas fiasco. It’s definitely worth a read, even if you’re completely sick of Avery and the whole story, and I also mention it because the best quote of the story belongs to Dean Lombardi, who gets in a great jab at Brett Hull.

“Brett Hull criticized us when we traded Sean, saying our team was bad for Sean and bad for the game,” Lombardi recalls. “Freedom of expression. How does [Hull, the Stars’ co-G.M. with Jackson,] like it today? They spent $15.5 million to protect the right of free speech. Adams and Jefferson would be proud.”
