It's almost time for the NBA. Eighty-two regular season games with the Detroit Pistons. The NBA is still one of my favorite domestic sports, but the attendance has been down the last few years. Hopefully, it will pick up for the Detroit Pistons. Many fans claim the league has failed to produce new super-stars in the absence of Jordan. Shaq ain't bad and LeBron is on his way. Go Detroit Pistons.
Team spokesman Dominick Saillant wouldn't disclose how many of the 140 full-time employees were let go, but communications coordinator Frederic Daigle was among those laid off.
"It's a sad day for the Canadiens organization," team president Pierre Boivin said in a statement. "We were forced to let go some loyal employees due to an ongoing labor dispute.

The employees were given severance packages.
Before the layoffs, the Canadiens had lost 30 employees since the start of the season. All employees, including management, were put on a four-day work week when the lockout began in September.
