• Martin St. Louis is one of the best hockey players on earth, but on Monday nights you're more likely to find him watching CSI: Miami than on the ice. St. Louis told the Tampa Bay he gets a kick out of watching the show. "I would take the guy from CSI: Miami. The red-headed guy. I get a good laugh out of him. Everything is dramatic, you know?

Indeed, the overall quality is easily the equal of its original broadcasts, if not better."

"CSI is a fabulous show," Jenkinson said, "but what is misleading is the length of time necessary and the expense."
