Over at ESPN.com, John Buccigross is sharing some of his memories from previous NHL All-Star Games:
2001 in Colorado: It was like 70 degrees in Denver and the West won 14-12. I think Bill Guerin had 10 goals or something and was the MVP. I also remember Thomas Dolby rehearsing "She Blinded Me With Science" the morning of the game; only the NHL would hire a guy to sing a song in 2001 that was released in 1982.
Unless of course you're NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. After all, he hired The Who, to play the Super Bowl halftime show. And when you take a look at their set list, you'll see that the most recent song there was recorded in 1978.
As for the rest of the column, he's got some pretty good ideas to liven up a moribund All-Star format. Considering how low the television ratings are at this point, I'd be up for just about anything.

As someone said on Twitter the other day, one old boob has ruined halftime shows for the rest of time.
