It also means it’s my birthday so it’s basically the most important day of the year, ever, of all time. Just speaking objectively…

Actually this June 1st still has some meaning……….in that it’ll be the first airing of “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.

“June 1 Means Nothing This Year” – tell that to former NFLers Larry Centers, Shane Matthews, and Raylee Johnson: all celebrating a birthday today. Also blowing out the candles today: Pat Boone, Morgan Freeman and Cleavon Little. Too dead to blow out candles: Marilyn Monroe and Brigham Young…means nothing. Nice research!

While all of the above is correct, the overrall statement that june 1st means nothing this year is slightly misinformed. The fact is that free agent signings made after June the 1st this year will not have an effect on the compensatory draft picks a team is scheduled to recieve for the following year. So for example a team like the falcons who have a large net loss in terms of players out/players in in this years free agency can sign some select veterans now, secure in the knowledge that it will no longer effect the compensatory draft picks they are sure to aqquire next year for losing so many vested free agents. An extremely minor point, but one that it is none-the-less worth noting
