… about Tim Thomas being an idiot.

I don’t usually copy and paste an entire text, but this letter by former Chicago Bear Tim Wrightman is an example of how Thomas should have handled the Obama invitation.

Class. 100% Pure class.

I hope someone shows this to the Bruin Goalie…

Wrightman puts politics aside for White House reunion

October 06, 2011|By Fred Mitchell, Tribune reporter

Former Chicago Bears tight end Tim Wrightman is looking forward to Friday’s celebration of the Super Bowl XX team at the White House.

Wrightman posted the following message on his Facebook page and also shared this message with the Tribune to counter the position of his former teammate, Dan Hampton, who says he does not plan to attend the White House event because other family members were not invited and he is “not a fan” of President Barack Obama.

Idiot.

Tim Thomas, that is. What a complete moron. Typical Bruin.

C’mon. even given my political leanings, I sure as hell wouldn’t decline the honour of a visit to the White House – even during Dubya’s tenure… doncha love dogmatism?

… during my vacation. But I had to comment on this.

Quebec nationalists want the Habs to be more “French”. Gimme a break. Why don’t you look at the standings and figure out a way to win a few more games!

Look, I hate the Habs just as much as the next guy, but I do feel a little sorry for the majority of the fans who think that this whole Anglo-speaking coach thing is a bunch of merde…

What this does tell me is that the nationalists are getting desperate and are looking for press wherever they can find it…

Stay classy, Quebec nationalists, stay classy…

Maybe they should worry more about winning a few hockey games.

Geoff Molson, owner of the Montreal Canadiens, released a statement Monday afternoon saying that the ability to speak French is important to coaching the Montreal Canadiens.

“Although our main priority remains to win hockey games and to keep improving as a team, it is obvious that the ability for the head coach to express himself in both French and English will be a very important factor in the selection of the permanent head coach,” said Molson in the statement.

He also said that the head coach position will be “revaluated” at the end of the season.

Molson’s statement comes after criticism from Quebecers who say the new interim head coach, Randy Cunneyworth, is a poor choice for the job because he doesn’t speak French.

… not a frickin’ chance!

So Big Don says sorry for calling a few ex-NHLers “pukes”… big whoop! And now commentators and Tweets and
Letters to the Editor are all a-gummy about this! “Takes a big man to say sorry” “Cherry eats humble pie” – this crap is everywhere!

Well, NO! I’m sorry, but it does not take a big man to apologise. Nothing big or heroic about it. Apologies should be made when needed. If I wrong someone, I’m not going to go around with my chest pumped out touting what a brave act I just performed. We say sorry when we screw up and want to acknowledge the screw-up… it is the “right” thing to do… not the “big” thing to do.

Plus, and maybe this is the “black helicopter” side of me talking, but didn’t this whole sham stink a bit too much? Think about it. Guys like Cherry need to have attention focused on them at all times; kinda like my 4 year old. And he hadn’t been in the spotlight for a while… begging the question: was this whole farcical act contrived?

Yeah… I know, black helicopters… but ya have to admit that it does make a bit of sense.

Thanks to Montreal Simon for the image…

From Ken Gray’s blog…

Facebook friend Jean-Pierre Allard commented on my blog post Don Cherry Must Go Because of Latest Outrage. To read the post with the original and infamous Don Cherry Coach’s Corner segment on hockey violence, click here:

“Not sure our otherwise fine country could ever recover (without Cherry) as there will be no more violence in hockey, no more hatred for anything that’s not PURE K-TOWN, no more shameful plugs for becoming a senator via suffocating rah-rahring of our troops, no more cross-dressing on the state-sponsored TV, no more votes by otherwise balanced citizens for Donald La Cerise as The Greatest Canadian Ever.”

Yeah. It would be mighty tough to go without the directionless and troglodyte droolings of a has-been from the last century. Real tough…

… has more sense than Don Cherry.

And it likely smells better too.

I have already expressed my opinion on the fool, so I don’t need to repeat myself (too much). But his latest tirade supporting hockey violence and calling out those who oppose it is yet another example of the degree to which this moron has outlived his best before date.

And it us also an example of how spineless the MotherCorp execs truly are. By not censuring what Cherry said on HNIC regarding hockey violence, enforcers, mental illness and substance abuse, they have shown themselves to be as big a fool as the guy in the tasteless attire.

I am a CBC supporter most of the time, but in this matter I am disgusted.

Wake up spineless ones! Get rid of this self aggrandizing buffoon!

… Is this new military logo for the Winnipeg Jets? Did the Harperites provide funding only if the owners adopted a warlike symbol for the new team?

Crap. I really don’t like the direction to which this once proud but humble country is headed.

Seriously. Am I the only one who is noticing this sudden “grandiosing” of the military? Here? In Canada? Are we not above this shit?

I don’t know what to say. I am almost speechless. Almost.

This was shameful. No. Excuses. Whatsoever.

Congrats to the Bruins.

And as a sidebar, I really hope that, when they win the Cup next year, Toronto fans show more class than the Canuck fans did last night. In fact, I’m sure that they will!

And yeah, I know that those thugs were not representative of all ‘Nuck fans, but there were at least a thousand or more rioters… and that does not look good on the City at all.

It also does not reflect well on the sport. The riots were all over international news wires and serve to solidify the image of the hockey fan as a goon.

Shame.
