Welcome to the first and last ever edition of Casual Monday Sixers Links!

Housekeeping:

• Missing Marc Zumoff? Well miss him no more! Tomorrow night Zumoff will be doing play-by-play on 6ABC when the Philadelphia Union host the Colorado Rapids. What's better than live Zu in the summer?

• HEY BIG NEWS! LIKE, MASSIVE GINORMOUS NEWS THAT CONCERNS YOU, THE COMMENTER, AND SB NATION! Many people have asked many blog leaders over the years if they could change their SB Nation username because there was no manual way to do it yourself. Now you can manually change your username one time without having to ask any higher-up to do it for you. Click on this Blog Huddle link for specific instructions on how to change your name.

• Still missing you, Pierre Jackson. I may never get over this one.

• Want to share some Sixers thoughts with the LB community? Write a FanPost. Do a good job on it and we may even promote it to the front page. I'll even link to it in the weekly links post too. You'll be famous!
