Andrew Amerk Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 http://blog.chron.co...eds-sean-avery/ I don't like the guy. I think everything he does is all an act, and his "political" stances are just an extension of his egomaniacal need for attention. He is an embarrassment to the league, as evidenced by what he did to Brodeur, among other things. Thoughts?

He is an embarrassment to the league, as evidenced by what he did to Brodeur, among other things. Thoughts? It's one thing to be the Broad Street Bullies from many years ago (Beavers nowadays), but it's another to be a pest like Sean Avery. I'd rather deal with a team that strikes fear and intimidation into its opponents, as opposed to having to deal with someone with his unpredictable antics. If he calls it a career, that will be one less pest in the league. After all, we don't have to worry about Jarkko Ruutu anymore since he's now playing in his native Finland.
RazielSabre Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 I really can't add anything other than a +1 to what you guys have already said. When the guy retires it won't be a day to soon. HOWEVER, I'm all for his promotion of gay rights and every sport has people like him, take that out and the whole sport gets washed down, there is truth in that.

He brings nothing redeeming to the league.
Oakstream Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Too bad, he could have added a lot to the HBO-series :)

You had to throw that in there, didn't you? Yet, when I bring up an opposing view to that, I get excoriated by the powers that be. If I'm told to shut up about it, then so should you.

If I'm told to shut up about it, then so should you. The difference here is that it is relevant to the discussion. As opposed to the relevance of the political views of onion readers in a thread discussing the Buffalo Bills.
Assquatch Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Some guy that used to play in the league once upon a time.
Andrew Amerk Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Posted October 6, 2011 Who's this Avery guy? Some guy that treated cops like sh*t over the summer. If I did the same thing, I'd be in jail right now.
Eleven Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 The people all over the internet who are calling him "Sean Waivery" are amusing me.
inkman Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 While I certainly know they are different players, how different are he and Kaleta? Discuss. :-)
MattPie Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 While I certainly know they are different players, how different are he and Kaleta? Discuss. :-) He doesn't play for Buffalo! :) In all seriousness, I think the main difference is Avery seems to be a media ######. On ice, I'd love to say Avery is more of a punk, but I'm sure that's my bias talking.
korab rules Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 Avery gets paid 4x what Kalets gets paid. That's the most significant difference.
LastPommerFan Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 There is not a "Patrick Kaleta Rule" that makes you say, "they actually had to make a rule against that? who does that?" when you read it.
IKnowPhysics Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 There is not a "Patrick Kaleta Rule" that makes you say, "they actually had to make a rule against that? who does that?" when you read it. I miss Rob Ray and his ability to escape his jersey like a greased pig.
shrader Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 I miss Rob Ray and his ability to escape his jersey like a greased pig. I think I know where you stand on Avery's views of marriage... :lol: ;)
FolignosJock Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 I think I know where you stand on Avery's views of marriage... :lol: ;) hahahahaha so many good posts about gay marriage today... it must be a record :thumbsup:

If I'm told to shut up about it, then so should you. I wasn't bringing it up as a topic of conversation, merely making my opinion known on that aspect of Avery. I live in a different country with a different culture plus im a random dude on a forum, if my few words bothers you so, well, sorry but tough.

I live in a different country with a different culture plus im a random dude on a forum, if my few words bothers you so, well, sorry but tough. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century. IIRC, there was a brief time when your country was a republic. Unfortunately, it didn't stay that way because Richard Cromwell did not possess his father's leadership abilities. But, I have to wonder what would have happened on this side of the Pond if the monarchy had not been re-established.
