Michael,

Brikowski came to the C's as a backup center which is exactly what he is. In
fact we don't have a starting Center and it's been center by commitee all
season long. I think it was a necessary move to have brought him here
because he and several other players whose contracts are up at the end of
the season will be let go. Freeing up some cap money. Oh by the way, just
because the guy is injured dosen't give you a license to be so mean spirited.
