Sloppy seconds and trash talk rewind

That slick stylin’, profilin’ Sean Avery was at his best again last night before he even had a chance to hit the ice in Calgary.
His “sloppy seconds” comment had Gary Bettman hilariously spitting out his Mountain Dew across the dinner table, tagging Avery with a indefinite suspension and a meeting in the Principal’s office likely sometime next week. Sounds like the ruler might even be brought out.
Although the comment was kinda cowardly since he probably shoulda said it to Dion Phaneuf nose-to-nose, am I the only one that’s busted the odd gut over this? Come on. It was rude, but pretty good too, no? There’s been way worse said on the ice that’s gone untouched and the verbs used by the 2002 St. Catharines Junior Athletics alone woulda made Avery’s smack from last night look like Sunday school banter.
Anyways, Avery bein’ Avery had me thinking back last year’s Player Poll centered around talking trash in the NLL and Stephen Hoar’s mum. Hit this link and enjoy…
And in apparently less detrimental news in the sports world, Plaxico Buress brought a loaded gun into a nightclub, shot himself in the thigh and could have potentially done bodily harm to others. He did not however use the term “sloppy seconds”, so it’s all good. Will Avery get nailed for more games than Buress’ four?
