Hey there sports fans. A happy, sunny Wednesday afternoon to you all. So, as you may know the good folks at rotorob and TSM have an arrangement wherein we exchange content. They write some stuff that they host and vise versa. Well, they took a liking to our post about Chipper Jones anti Toronto rant and it received a few remarks from some braves fans. Today however, it received a real gem. Get this:

“Sounds like you have a little unchecked agression with this Chipper deal. I am a braves fan, and I like Chipper. But guess what?

Chipper probably has a different idea of a good time compared to someone from Toronto. I doubt you guys have a Hooters that would rival any from his home state of Florida. The fact that he uses Las Vegas as an example of a place where he WOULD have fun should throw up a red flag or two. So give us a break from your pity party : ( and get over the fact that Chipper didn’t have fun in Toronto.

And even though I have no issues or opinions concerning your city, and I am sure I would enjoy visiting, I would rather get shot in Atlanta than live in Toronto.

But hey, that’s just my opinion. And I’m going to guess that you prolly haven’t been to Atlanta for any amount of time, because of your downtown/buckhead references, because the only people who go to buckhead now are douchebags and tourists. And downtown is fun but gangsta, so I doubt you have really hung out there either.”

God bless the good folks in Atlanta….

Here’s your bikini of the day for the day after the deadline from bikinibeat.org:

Happy Sunday all.

Today’s quotes of the day belong to Steve Simmons:

“What a bunch of boring conformists around the NHL. Trying to put the lid on Alexander Ovechkin, the most entertaining player the league has seen in decades … And yeah, I really care what Rick Tocchet, the former bookmaker, thinks of Ovechkin showing people up. Like his values make him a quality judge. Hate to take this stuff personally but Chipper Jones, who grew up in Pierson, Fla., population 2,606, which calls itself the Fern Capital of the World, where 33.6% of the people live below the poverty line, doesn’t care much for Toronto. This genius, who lives in Atlanta, just about the worst major city in America, where no one lives downtown except the homeless, found himself bored during his World Baseball Classic visit to Toronto. At least he didn’t complain about there being too much curling on television”

Give the man a free bowl of soup. He is one hundred percent right on both accords. A random, unscientific poll around the locker room today had way more votes for Ovechkin compared to the anti-celebration camp. Times they are a changing. It’s high time the NHL catches up and stars embracing those who can really help it shine. As for Chipper, he’s an asshole if ever there was one. Can’t wait till he has to come up this way again.

Growing up a Maple Leafs fan in the late 70’s and 80’s there were 3 or 4 guys who I remember really liking. Bill, “Blinky” Derlago was one, Rocky Saganiuk was two, Laurie Boschman was three and Walt Poddubny was four. How sad that Poddubny passed away at only 47 years old. Amazing that the guy played in 438 NHL games and more amazing that he scored 38 goals three times in his career as part of achieving 422 points. Call me crazy, but there has to be more to this story that is being reported. One can’t help but wonder what he was doing living with his sister. The guy made fairly decent bucks over those roughly 6 years in the NHL. Also, for the most part guys don’t drop dead at such a young age anymore. Whatever the reason, I fondly remember watching #8 in blue and white, hope he and the fellas score a few more in the big rink in the sky.

I saw the new Julia Roberts movie Duplicity last night. One word… Don’t!

Here is a video you have to watch. Pat Burns was featured on HNIC last night. It is a great watch and I highly recommend it!

Looking for Maple Leafs tickets the rest of the way? Look no further…

“We stayed in Toronto for a week and played three games. I don’t know if you ever stayed in Toronto, but it’s not exactly Las Vegas. To say that we were plucking our eyebrows out one at a time would be an understatement.”

And fuck you too Chipper. Here is hoping for some reason he has to come back. Please let him come back. Funny how other athletes come here and don’t seem to complain. Not enough hot spots for ya Chipper like there are in Atlanta?? Downtown Atlanta is a real thriller. Here’s hoping Bobby Cox gets to him and talks some sense into him before he opens his trap again. Somewhere I bet JP is laughing or cheering him on.

Meanwhile, get a load of the video of the Grabovsky/Blake affair. What the hell is Jamal Mayers doing? Who does this clown think he is? He shows more toughness in this clip then he has in every maple leaf game this season. Please let the Mayers trial end soon. Brian, waive him today if at all possible.
