Phaneufed Update
The Goose's Roost —
by Ryan Here's the video of Sean Avery's comments, with some help from 289 in the Bfloblog comments. (By the way, the post itself is the best way I saw the Rodgers death handled.) I agree with 289, now that I see the intent he had I completely agree with the suspension, at least for the game that night. Having him out there would have got ugly fast. It's good to see the Stars overcame all the Avery garbage and played well. We will see how long the suspension lasts, but based on how the Stars ownership acted I don't think they will mind if it's lengthy.
Speed Read: Pacers Make Kobe’s Milestone Moot
SPORTSbyBROOKS —
Congratulations to Kobe Bryant for scoring his 22,000th career point against the Indiana Pacers last night. Your reward? A total fourth-quarter collapse by your team’s defense and a head-scratching 118-117 loss. Personally, as I gift I’d rather receive a pair of socks, or even a gift certificate to Arby’s than that.
(Sasha - wha’ happened?)
The reason the Lakers blew a 15-point fourth quarter lead was simple: they stopped playing defense. They gave up 32 points in the quarter and six offensive rebounds, the last being Troy ...
Is Sean Avery’s “Sloppy Seconds” comment really that bad
Sports Crackle Pop —
I don’t know if it’s because I am a sick bastard, but Sean Avery’s comments really don’t bother me at all. And to give him an indefinite suspension for it seems absurd. The fashion lovers remarks are directed at the Calgary Flames Dion Phaneuf, who is currently dating the lovely Elisha Cuthbert. Let these two guys settle it on the ice. Isn’t this the sport that condones players smashing each others face in?
Sean Avery, if you don’t have anything nice to say…
The Scores Report - The National Sports Blog —
SPORTSbyBROOKS.com has the story (and video) of the suspension of Dallas Stars’ winger Sean Avery:
Meanwhile, Dallas Stars winger Sean Avery’s mouth has gotten him in trouble yet again. He’s been suspended indefinitely for “inappropriate public comments” after running his mouth before a game against the Calgary, specifically targeting Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf, who happens to be dating Avery’s ex, hottie actress Elisha Cuthbert.
Here’s Avery’s comments. If you look closely, you can see his teammates praying for an errant piece of Sputnik to come crashing down on him:
Well, now ...
Sean Avery Suspended Indefinitely By NHL
TheOriginalWinger.com —
1. Ask for the cameras to roll.

Stay Classy, Sean Avery
AwfulAnnouncing —
I've personally done worse things to ex-girlfriends in my day (nothing that I'm proud of), but the one thing I haven't done is take a shot at her on camera when first getting into her new boyfriend's hometown. I mean I haven't really had the opportunity to got that far, but that's besides the point. You heard the comments yesterday on various outlets throughout the country, now see them for yourself. Here's your Sean Avery "Sloppy Seconds" video.... Now, I've never been referred to as a "sloppy second", and I can understand if his Ex (Elisha ...
NHL Star Avery Suspended-Know Why?
SaltyMilk.com —
It may not seem like a big deal when a headline reads ‘NHL player gets suspended’ but when you hear why, it’s actually humorous. Sean Avery, a hockey player for the Dallas Stars, has been suspended for making what was considered a raunchy comment regarding his ex-girlfriends.
His comment: “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.”
Why he said it: Two of Avery’s ex-girlfriend’s Elisha Cuthbert and Rachel Hunter are now dating rival hockey players.
WTF? Is the NHL now going to police ...

SFT Sports - Win Great Prizes by Taking Surveys, Polls and Quizzes and rating hot women —
... As you've heard by now (or in case you haven't, here's the video), Sean Avery has gotten suspended indefinitely by the NHL. Hopefully, "indefinitely" means just a game because any more than that would be utterly ridiculous. You know, get caught drunk driving, that's a game or so. Beat up your wife, a few games, maybe. But make a remark in jest about your ex-girlfriend which was overall pretty benign and that's "indefinite" suspension. ...
Sean Avery Single Handedly Making Hockey Worthwhile
This is God Given —
Sean Avery goes from working for Vogue in the off-season to ripping on two former exes (Elisha Cuthbert and Rachel Hunter) who are both unreal. Personality is what hockey is lacking and they are in desperate need of more guys who don’t live their lives like Nick Swardson in Grandma’s Boy. The comment is classic and I can’t wait til he gets a tv gig somewhere.
Oh, and here are some pictures of those exes.
Girl from Old School - Elisha Cuthbert
Stacy Mom from that music video - Rachel Hunter
Sean Avery’s news-making comments

Don’t know who Sean Avery is? Well, apparently he REALLY wants you to know who he is. Before we get to what he said, lets introduce you to Mr. Avery. His wikipedia bio and, for your viewing pleasure, a quick video below courtesy of SportsCentre in Canada (TSN).
Now that you know Avery. This is what he had to say this past Tuesday:
A few thoughts come to mind after watching and listening to these comments:
Premeditated?
This is great for the NHL because everyone is talking about these comments today in ...
NHL right to suspend Avery - From The Rink
Hockey Wilderness —
NHL right to suspend Avery - From The Rink
It's fully understandable that many of those in the media (and blogosphere) are calling for a sideshow given the great copy it would produce, but I absolutely endorse what the NHL's done here. Promoting the game is one thing; childish, and downright crude and insulting, antics are another, and the last ...
Sean Avery Runs These Hoes...
Ed The Sports Fan —
“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.” The most contemptible man in the NHL, Sean Avery - a racist, a punk, and an incessant self-promoter - uttered the above quote with the cameras rolling a few hours before his Stars were going to take on the Calgary Flames. A guy from the Flames, Dion Phaneuf, dates actress Elisha Cuthbert, Avery’s ex. The NHL then swiftly decided that his statement was "crude and ...
Weighing in on the Sean Avery "scandal"
Boston Sports Buzz - Red Sox Patriots Celtics Bruins MLB NFL NBA NHL Baseball Football Basketball... —
First off, let me go on record as saying that no man insults both Elisha Cuthbert and Rachel Hunter with a single humorous albeit poorly-timed comment and lives to tell about it. So, Mr. Avery, know that I am coming after you. At least in the blogging world. Moving on... I just heard on 'EEI on the way home from the Judgment Free Zone (the absurd surname of the gym I frequent, Planet Fitness) that in addition to being suspended by the league for six games, Avery has been made to undergo some sort of psychological evaluation - and perhaps subsequent anger management ...
Sloppy Suspension
Da Great White Hype —
Stars forward Sean Avery, best known for his agitating style of play on the ice, was suspended today by the NHL today for six games without pay for comments he made before a game against Calgary. Avery stated: "I'm 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, but enjoy the game tonight." Avery's ex-girlfriend, actress Elisha Cuthbert currently is dating Calgary defenseman Dion Phaneuf. She also had been linked to Mike ...

Which Team Picks Up Sloppy Seconds Sean Avery?
The Big Lead —
Lee Diekemper on hockey.
So the Sean Avery era in Dallas has come to a swift and abrupt end. His former roomie and current Dallas Co-General Manager Brett Hull gave Avery the pink slip to end what may be one of the biggest overreactions of sports jurisprudence in recent memory.
Avery’s crack about his “sloppy seconds” was possibly more ironic than amusing, though it was certainly funny. And for this he gets slapped with a six-game suspension and banished from his team? Really?
Did Stars’ season ticket holders storm the team’s offices to demand his release? Did a father of a Dallas ...
Sylvia and Arlovski, the feud that never dies
Cage Writer —
It simply brings a smile to your face to hear Andrei Arlovski continue to harbor resentment towards Tim Sylvia in their Jerry Springer-esque story. Arlovski dated Polish model Patrycja Mikula for two years. They broke up earlier this year and low behold the guy who beat Arlovski twice in a UFC cage, Sylvia, was seen out and about with Mikula at the same fighting event attended by the Belarussian. Months later Arlovski, obviously still angry that Sylvia stuck it to him by seeing his old girlfriend, ripped off the MMA line of the year by asking Tim, "How's taste my pee pee" in an interview with MMARated. It's all ...
The 10 stupidest hockey stories of 2008
The Two-Line Pass —
With the year finally winding down, we can now look back on the prior 350-something days and start to put together some conclusive feelings about them. It seems, to me at least, that this has been literally the stupidest calendar year of hockey in maybe a decade.
10. Tampa backs up dump truck full of money to Ryan Malone’s house
What a terrible idea just from an asset management standpoint. The Lightning’s new owners wanted to make a big splash on the free agent market and traded for the rights to negotiate with something like 392 of the NHL’s most mediocre free agents. Their big ...
A Sedate Sean Avery is a Dull Sean Avery
The Big Lead —
There were no contentious moments, no ribald, impromptu pre or post-game interviews, and certainly no annoying acts in front of the goalie. All in all, a pretty dull opening night in the reincarnation of Sean Avery. Rangers won, kept pace at the bottom of the Eastern Conference playoff standings, and everybody’s thrilled. As Derrick Coleman once said, “Whoop-de-damn-do.” Come on Avery, do something crazzzzzy, like take an internship at Good Housekeeping. Jackass.
