Welcome to the first and last ever edition of Casual Monday Sixers Links!
Housekeeping:
• You know what's perfectly fine? Not being able to blog because you are on vacation! You know what's not perfectly fine? Not being able to blog because you are sick with a fever! Sorry this is a few days late, but shivering with a fever is not my ideal state of being for blogging. But I feel fine now and am ready and able to crank out a Monday edition of Casual [Insert Day Of The Week Here] Sixers Links.
• 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.
• Missing you, Pierre Jackson. Get well soon, please!
