I agree Kane is young and stupid, but he's not being paid millions to be a party boy. He's being paid to be a world class athlete. And right now he is pissing everything away.
How can a guy who is a lifetime 2:30 hitter get so many headlines. He hit 1:90 last year and now he gets indignant because he's been replaced by a 3:30 hitter who averages 25 to 30 home runs a year! Go home and pout then look in the mirror!!!!
What do you mean frontrunner - that would mean teams would actually be interested in wanting to sign this choad. Manny's agent must have hired a good publicist to make it look like somebody actually gave a **** about his client! Only an idot would sign a 40 year old - with a still to be served drug suspension.
They should start with a new GM before they do anything else! Why would you let the guy who screwed up the drafts and the trades for the last few years to put the Blue Jackets in this spot make the trades for their future?
How the heck does Howson still even have a job? this guy is the worst GM in hockey (not withstanding Garth Snow). Useless drafts, horrible trades. I'm surprised that the Blue Jackets fans are still even turning out to the games.
Selig should have told Manny's agent to take a hike. I can't believe they let him get away with only 50 games. The guy is a major T-U-R-D!!! Good luck to whatever idot GM decides to try and sign him! I'm sure we'll get the third positive test by mid-July and Manny will retire again.
I think the owners are a bunch of idiots! That being said, the players are so unrealistic about their place in the sporting world. You don't see any sense of urgency from the players, who seem more concerned about playing overseas, doing exhibitions, or doing reality shows than settling the strike. The players are more concerned about their lifestyles. I think the fans have realized this disconnect from the players. I think that if the players that don't wake up and realize this they are going to be in for a rude awakening once the strike is over.
Why does the writer seem like this is the most indignant event that ever heppened in the hockey world. Avery was a fourth liner at best the last few years. At least Avery got a free trip to Europe, plus I'm sure he got to talk to some potential suiters from the European leagues as well. As far as not being given a chance to shine in training camp, boo-effin-hoo! Have you seen the game footage on him? If he put in as much effort in working on his game as he does in to his social life than maybe he'd improve.
I can't wait to see how long it will take "goon boy" to get benched for taking stupid penalties against the Red Wings. The Black Hawks may have gotten tougher, but they also got a lot stupider!
I look forward to seeing Weber in a Wings uniform! I still don't even know why there is a hockey team in Nashville (and Florida, and Phoenix, and Columbus... yeah there is a pattern there).
Tiki still hasn't figured it out. He may be apologetic, but his speach was all "I", "I", "I', "Me", "Me", "Me" ~ not I'd like to help a team somewhere. I don't think that'll fly. And besides, who really wants a 36 year old running back who has been out of football for 4 or 5 years!
How does Fletcher even have a job at this point. The Wild's drafting has been awful and their trades (Cam Barker for Nick Leddy ~ their only decent first round pick in years) have been equally as bad! They need to wake up before their fans start staying away!
Heatley handles adversity the same way my dog handles being yelled at ~ both tuck their tails and run the other way. Look for Heatley to demand another trade!
"Can't blame the owner... I wouldn't let him pull a Haynesworth, either."
Really, I never saw that out of Palmer. I think he got tired of having to put up with Chad "Look At Me" Johnson, Terrell "Throw Me The Ball or I'll Throw You Under The Bus" Owens and the rest of the idiotic jailbirds that the ownership brought in.
