Sean Avery’s Sloppy Seconds

Our man, Sean Avery, has gotten himself into a heap of trouble in the NHL.

Sean was suspended indefinitely this week after making an “off-color comment” before a game on Tuesday night in Calgary, Canada. He (or, at least, his publicist) issued a statement of apology yesterday, but it’s now likely that he’s getting bounced from the Dallas Stars. This raises the question of what will happen with the four-year, $15.5 million contract he signed with the team in July.

Why all the drama?

In a pre-game interview Tuesday, Avery said, “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.” He is referring to Calgary Flames defenceman Dion Phaneuf, who is dating Avery's ex-girlfriend Elisha Cuthbert.

GET OVER IT!!!

He made one little snippy remark.

Obviously, there were larger issues at play for Avery to get the boot so unceremoniously.  

One of the reasons we love Sean is because of his reputation for being a smack-talking, fight-starting bad-ass largely known as both the best agitator and the most hated player in the NHL.

What did they expect?

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
