Far be it for me to point out that we live in a crazy world with all that's happening with our economy and the situation in India, but when athletes start getting suspended for what they say on TV and to the media, the world has become all askew.
Athletes are chastized all the time for being boring, robotic and standard-quote machines, so when an athlete such as Dallas Stars' forward Sean Avery comes along it's pretty refreshing.
Avery had this to say to a full contingent of media on Tuesday before Dallas game against Calgary, "I am really happy to be back in Calgary, I love Canada. I just want 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. Enjoy the game tonight."
Avery's mentioning of 'sloppy seconds' is intended towards Calgary's Dion Phaneuf, who is dating ex-Avery love interest, Elisha Cuthbert and LA's Jarret Stoll, who is dating another ex-Avery love interest, Rachel Hunter, Avery has now been suspended barring a hearing with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. For what you ask, it's not like Avery pulled Sloppy Seconds on Bettman's wife or anything.
There's many different ways that Sloppy Seconds can get you in trouble, but seriously, is mentioning 'sloppy seconds' to the media enough to get you suspended from your job? This is so wrong. Avery never mentioned anyone specifically by name or attacked anyone's character, yet he's suspended. If talking about Sloppy Seconds gets you banished from the workplace then half of the college population wouldn't have anywhere to go after graduation (besides grad school).
Oh well, I'm all about ending things on a good note, so in more uplifting news, here's something that's right in the world, Tina Fey. Ms. Tina was profiled in this month's Vanity Fair - Yummy!!! (photo from this month's Vanity Fair)
Happy Hump Day everyone.
