Following his meeting with the NHL, suspended Penguin's forward Matt Cooke today told reporters he was sorry for what he did, and now realizes more than ever that he needs to change the way he plays the game. Uh, HELLO......!!!! Is he just realizing he is a cheapskate today? What about that vicious elbow on Marc Savard? What about being suspended five times for cheap shots? And now, you realize you need to change. What that tells me about his character is that he has absolutely no remorse for the damage his actions are capable of. Feeling bad for this but not the Savard hit is inexcusable. Matt Cooke, you are the hemorrhoid of the NHL.
And speaking of guys I have no respect for, three years after being indicted, the trial of Barry Bonds is now underway. For those unaware, Bonds is charged with a few different things for apparently lying under oath about taking steroids. I can understand why he wants to deny these supposed actions, but come on Barry do you think the world is full of a bunch of gullible morons???? You know what Bonds told court he thought he was taking while his trainer was injecting him with steroids?.....flax seed oil and arthritis cream. Are you serious??? Assistant US Attorney Matt Parrella has said Bonds' claim is 'ridiculous' and rightfully so. When was the last time your arthritis flared up so you called over your personal trainer to inject you with some cream??? In addition, flaxseed oil is taken as most liquids are...through the mouth. Uh honey, i have a heck of a cough tonight, would you get the syringe out and pump me full of Buckley's??? Come on Barry Bonds, these types of statements just prove to me, and hopefully the rest of the world how ignorant and self absoribing you really are.
Not sure why but I feel the need to comment about the NBA. Remeber way back during All - Star weekend when Carmelo Anthony was finally traded to the New York Knicks after making the first half of the season all about him? Well I find it thoroughly enjoyable that since that trade the Knicks are a measley 7 - 9 including two losses to the lowly Cleveland Cavaliers, while his former club, the Denver Nuggets are an impressive 10 - 2. How good did the Nuggets do in this deal??? Got rid of an ego - maniac which would inevitbaly clear up some cap space, all the while bringing in some good young talent who instantly made them a better team.
Not much else to say except that the CIS Men's Hockey Nationals take place this weekend, and for my good friend Scotty Giroux I hope like hell the McGill Redmen win it all.
Till tomorrow......
So close Heater! Man, the Redmen looked really good against Alberta, which if you ask me, is the standard by which all other CIS hockey programs have to be measured, year in and year out. Maybe they'll wait to win it all in Saskatoon in a couple of years for me.
