The Phrase “Sloppy Seconds” - Too Ribald for the AP
The Big Lead —
While poking around the web last night to see if the Sean Avery “Sloppy Seconds” story had enough legs for another post today - it was amazing to see hockey out front on ESPN.com yesterday; also, it might have been the first time in PTI history that hockey led off the show - we were a bit perplexed as to why the Associated Press refused to print the actual phrase, “sloppy seconds,” instead replacing it with the much more reader-friendly “former girlfriends.”
It was jarring, actually. Neither ESPN nor Yahoo Sports, which posted video of ...
A lot of people really hate Sean Avery
tonyblogs.net - Sports news, humor, videos and prognostications. —
Or at least that seems like an accurate assumption, given that the Dallas Stars are saying Avery won't return to the team following his six-game suspension. Avery had been suspended for comments made about NHL players dating Elisha Cuthbert, in so many words.
The team can trade Avery, send him to play in ...
The Top 10 Sleaziest People in Sports

Some one from the Bleacher Report asked me for this. I might as well put it here now before the Yankee season starts and since the Yankees aren’t playing today.
Also, Joba Chamberlain was supposedly really sharp in his last spring outing. According to the Associated Press…
Chamberlain, pitching for Double-A Trenton in a camp game against Triple-A Scranton/Wikes-Barre, retired 16 in a row — including five strikeouts — after allowing two hits and a walk to start the game.
That’s great news.
Now, without further ado <– I don’t even know what that means. It just ...
The N.H.L. Awards You May Not See
Slap Shot —
The National Hockey League’s annual awards show unfolds, bigger and glitzier than ever, in Las Vegas on Thursday night. Yet curiously, at least according to the program distributed to the news media beforehand, not all the year’s honors will be handed out. Fortunately, we are able to correct that oversight. Below, the honors you may not see bestowed tonight, beginning with a new prize: MARIAN HOSSA TROPHY person voted to have shown worst judgment in making a career move ...
Hilary Rhoda Makes The NYC Rounds
So Yoked - Athletes Served Sunny Side Up —
Hilary Rhoda isn’t a one man woman. The model that is supposedly dating Jets rookie QB Mark Sanchez was seen with New York Ranger Sean Avery last night at Brother Jimmy’s in NYC. “They were doing shots of Jack Daniels and Patron, and she had her hands on his arm as they canoodled at the corner of the bar,” said a source. Looks like this time Avery is the one getting the sloppy seconds, not Dion Phaneuf.
The Hypocrisy of Rick Pitino
HoopsVibe NBA Blog —
The Hypocrisy of Rick Pitino [image] I try to avoid personal lives. It s a no-fly zone. I, like most media, prefer judging an athlete, coach, or entertainer on performance. My reasoning is simple: as a fan, I pay money to watch athletes do things I can t. For instance, I forked over cold hard cash to watch Shawn Kemp dunk a basketball and Sean Avery (the NHL s biggest twit) provoke opponents on the ice. I didn t like that Kemp wasn t Father of The Year material. And I thought Avery s sloppy seconds comment about a competitor s girlfriend was tasteless and offside. (All class Sean!) Still, I had no issue buying a ticket to watch Kemp and ...
