Personally I think Avery is a bigger loser for letting the nice blonde lady get away in the first place then his poor timed comment.

It's all good! It's one of those rare moments where I actually say something worth repeating...

Naw.... I'm pretty sure I would loathe him if he was a Hurricane.

As a big fan of hockey myself I have to say I was disappointed in the way the NHL handled this. Having read all the posts before mine I do understand your points guys but I still think it was too heavy handed on the NHL's part.

Is Avery a classless a-hole... yup, should he have been penalized by the league for his comment to the media, IMO no. While you are held to a certain standard in regards to your conduct as an athlete I don't believe the league should have stepped in on a trash-talking incident. Whether it was in the media or not.

BUT G-D FORBID you say anything about your ex-girlfriend on TV!!!

What a load of crap.

Minus the drugs and the crap that happens off ice, these are some of the reasons that people love playing and watching hockey.

If Sean Avery could shoot the puck half as good as he can shoot his mouth he would be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame.

From the looks of the picture below, most anyone would be happy with a chance to put the biscut in the basket, be it firsts, seconds, or thirds...

Having said that.... Avery is a goon. This kind of stuff is not required.

These overpaid athletes need to realize it’s a privilege to play sports professionally and need to think twice when cameras/microphones are put in their faces. Kids look up to these kinds of people and the league was absolutely right for stepping in and suspending him. The league has an image to uphold and asshats like this can find work elsewhere.

Exactly!

Nope. I'm never so crass.

Avery sought out the media, and asked if the cameras were on, before making his statement.

He is a clown and an embarrasament to the NHL. The fact that two of his superstar teammates, Modano and Turco, who have more talent in their pinkies than Avery has in his whole body. spoke out against his antics speaks volumes.

Agreed

Comicbookfreak · 12-04-2008, 06:25 AM

Was it right or was it wrong? I personally don't believe he said anything that really wasn't true. All in all, Elisha is really nothing more than a highly paid groupie who happens to be in the public spotlight. She's bouncing in and outta beds like a superball. He just called it like it was. Was it classless. Yeah, but sometimes the truth is. Did it need the NHL to get involved? Nope, he didn't say anything that was racial or any of the 7 words you shouldn't say on TV. What would George Carlin say about this?

Something else that gets me is this whole role model crap. Professional Athletes shouldn't be role models anyway. If kids are watching sports to get their leadership skills that's where the big problem is.

Charles Barkley said it best:

Quote:

"I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out." Parents have to take better control

."

And this one by Sir Charles:

Quote:

I'm not a role model. I am paid to wreak havok on the basketball court. Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.

Avery gets six games. Much worse has been done in the league for much less time. Not sayin he was right at all, just sayin.

icehog3 · 12-05-2008, 01:34 PM

Doesn't sound like the players nor the coach want him back. The players refused when he asked to address them personally with an apology. Modano, several other players and the head coach continue to express their doubts in the media.

What does Avery care....he gets paid either way. Hope no other NHL team takes a chance on this head case.

12-05-2008, 01:39 PM

So you think 6 games is fair Tom?
