Because I’m 6 weeks behind everything, I found out today that the NHL’s most hated player, Sean Avery, said the following quote (referring to one of his opponents dating his ex-girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert) in an interview during a morning practice session on Tuesday.
“I'm just going to say one thing. I'm really happy to be back in Calgary, I love Canada. I just wanted to comment on how, it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about, but enjoy the game tonight.”
Avery was then suspended for “inappropriate public comments, not pertaining to the game”, and will probably face more disciplinary action from the league and his team, the Dallas Stars.
I’m not an NHL fan in the least, however I do believe that this was the greatest thing ever said in a public forum. The fact that he was punished so harshly for it, is utterly ridiculous. He didn’t even use any profanity…he just stated a damn fact. The whole thing could have been avoided if people would find chicks that didn’t already fuck Sean Avery.
We have collectively reached a new low in the existence of mankind. Since when does a guy get slammed so hard (no homo) for just being honest? I thought integrity and honesty were supposed to be core human virtues.
Why would the reporters on hand even bring up his ex-girlfriend anyway? It has no relevance to the game in the first place, and then when they received a down-home, honest answer, he gets in trouble for it.
From what I’ve read…it seems as though Sean Avery is one of the biggest dicks in pro-sports. He’s allegedly made racist comments during games and has a fondness for toy dolls, but this comment was a truly unique (from strictly a sports-interview perspective) and humorous one, and deserves praise for its bringing some fun into the usually-boring world of sports interviews.
Think about it, 99.9999% of the time, unless a player, or coach is pissed off, he’s going to give boring, cliché, canned sports answers that 10,000 other guys said last year alone. I don't know why we insist on keeping it that way when it loses its luster after the 13th utterance.
Examples:
“It was a team effort.”
“Everyone contributed.”
“We wanted it more.”
“ We want to win.”
“As I held up the trophy in triumph, I fucked Jim after the game in the locker room .”
You get the idea. Avery went above and beyond the usually lame sports answer and took unnecessary heat for it. What happened to freedom of speech? Since when is this Tiananmen Square?
The fun has been sucked from our lives by these avaricious bastards in charge. Fuck.

avaricious is a delicious word... btw, I completley agree with switching up the monotony of sports interviews as well...
"The other guys played soo hard, we just made the right plays when we needed to..."
"We seem to play better with our backs up against the walls..."
"Well... we had our back up against the walls... and Bubba Blackman ...the firstbaseman for the other team, licked his chops and fucked me dirty for all the world to see"
