NLL Insider

This week’s poll was actually requested by a number of people throughout the year, most recently by our Managing Editor, Bob Chavez (who I’m gonna murder in our semi-final game in fantasy this week, like seriously murder him, don’t be surprised when he’s not posting next week, cuz he’s a dead man walking this weekend… I mean, good luck Bob).

It’s all about the smack the guys are talkin’ on the floor this week, and for those of you who usually sit up in the nose bleeds (unless you’re in San Jose), trust me, lacrosse players can get just as filthy and mean spirited as any other pro athlete. Hell, maybe better than most pro stuff out there. We may be behind the likes of the NHL and NFL on the main-board, but we can be proud to know that our guys can drop a well placed F bomb better than most other ballers out there today.

Anyways, similar to our Player Poll that looked at guy’s interaction, the good and the bad, with fans, I told the players to take the filter off and let ‘er rip this week in their responses. I thought I could just bleep the real nasty stuff with the odd * or % sign, but some of the stuff is a little too R rated even for me to include in a post. Funny for sure, but don’t wanna piss too many people off (well I do, but just tryin’ to be PCish).

Mixed it up again this week with some multiple choice and open ended stuff, so check ‘er out below.

And for those that wanna know some of what get’s spewed on the floor, make sure to checkout the comments section at the end. But please, no emails for the language or content (it’s actually not even that bad after taking some of the real vulgar stuff out, one of which has had be laughing all week). I’m warning you now, if you’re too much of an “adult” (aka little girl) to read the ”good” stuff, just don’t read it.

But in the same breath, if there are any fans out there that have shared some barbs with the boys over the years, would love to hear your best stuff and hopefully get it online in a related post in the near future (yeah, we’re talkin’ to you Chopper).

Player’s Comments:

1. When you’re chirpin’ a guy in a game, where can’t you go?

“Call a guy what you want, but leave family out of it. We don’t need any ZiZu’s in the NLL.”

“Some of the best chirps ever involve wives and girlfriends, but we are all getting to that age where parents are aging so I stay away from the moms.”

“I personally wouldn’t talk about a guy’s kids, but I’ve heard other guys say some nasty sh** about everything and anything!”

“I just copy Curt Malawsky and call everyone nerds… or rhubarb.” Note: for those that don’t know, Malawsky has his own dictionary of lax verbage from slams to ordinary everyday stuff, classic

“Getting rude on a dude’s family is pretty greasy.”

2. Has a guy ever baited you into a scrap just based on the smack he’s throwin’ atcha?

“Not since Jr ball.”

“The chirp was, ‘You wanna go?’ ”

“I think talk is always pretty weak. If someone can get you off your game with talk you need some help.”

“Guys are pretty hard to bait these days, especially in the NLL where you have guys that actually graduated college. Way easier in the summer.”

3. Who is the NLL’s Sean Avery? Who talks the most/best?

“Quinlin tries to be, but his chirps are lame and confirm that he is a giant nerd!”

“Stevie Toll is pretty solid… he never shuts up.”

“TAVARES best all time!”

“I don’t know if it’s the best but Snider talks the most - nonstop!”

“Toller has pretty good chirps. He also has enough rings to back it up.”

“Curt Malawsky is never short on words, same with Brian Langtry. Kyle Laverty never shuts up. The best of the best is Geoff Snider though. He starts picking on guys during the pre-game warmup.”

“Steve Toll and Curt Malawsky are both league MVPs when it comes to chirping.”

“I would say Steve Toll. His chirps cut deep and you can actually understand what he is saying unlike little Evans or Quinlan.”

“Snider is the modern day Steve Govett. He just continually throws sh** out there, some bad, some good.”

4. What is the absolute best line you’ve ever heard during a game, no matter what league or season it was from?

“Ryan Sanderson to Mike Daly after Daly lit the lamp and was pretty happy with himself in MSL, ‘Nice goal Daly…but you still have red hair!’ ”

“I THINK A PLAYER CALLED ME A ‘GEEK’. I didn’t know I was still in middle school. I started laughing out loud, I couldn’t fight after that.”

“Shawn Evans telling Rory Smith that he wouldn’t fight him because Rory was the only guy in the league that talks worse than him.”

“Don’t try an get tossed early tonight just because Burger King has an early close time today you fat mess.”

“After being called a pu**y, the guy replied, ‘You are what you eat.’ ”

“Your balls are on top of your d***.”

“Hey, are those your legs or did you hop on a chicken.”

“Take your mittens off, it’s warm inside.”

” ‘Everyone knows you’re a cancer Nooch. Everyone knows you’re the reason we didn’t make the playoffs this year!!’ Both benches were laughing based on who said it.”

“You’re so fat when your girl climbs on-top her ears pop!”

“Once heard a guy ask a player if his parents got a divorce would they still be brother and sister.”

“Nice hairlip… Hairlip.”

“Get this… The clever one, John Orsen said, “Yeah loser.” Classic.”

“I am going to knock every one of you f***ing teeth out you ‘American’ “.

“Got into a fight during a game. Did not go my way. While shaking hands the opposing coach told me, ‘Nice game punching bag.’ ”

“Calling Curt Malawsky a gutless chicken.”

5. Have you ever heard a racial slur during a game?

“Anyone who needs to make a racial slur just allows people to see their lack of character.”

“A few years back Philly fans were throwing racial slurs after the game.”

“Yeah sometimes they slip in the heat of it all but not too often. Take it for what it is, which usually isn’t much at all.”
