Britney Murphy, no. Sorry.

I just saw some movie where this young guy became the boss of this old guy and started dating Scarlett Johanson, the guy's daughter, In Good Company maybe, but either way the movie was kind of meh but she looked pretty damn good in it.

I guess I don't get the hockey reference, dates hockey players?

Yeah she dates hockey players and Shaun Avery might not ever sign a contract again because he made fun of Phanuef for dating his "sloppy seconds" and was suspended and released.

A bit harsh maybe, suspended and released? A bit uncouth I guess.

It was for a lot more than that. He had been warned about his conduct repeatedly. The NHL only suspended him for 7 games I think, but his team suspended him indefinitely (they did not release him, they signed him to a 4 year contract this summer - for a ridiculous amount of money considering his lack of and real on ice talent - and they will be able to buy him out this summer). The suspension was also for his own benefit in some ways; he can't fight for shit and Dion Phaneuf would've beat the dog shit out of him. Avery is just a contrived idiot who loves the spotlight. It wasn't an off the cuff remark, it was clearly prepared well in advance. Apparently his team, including his teammates (all of whom LOATHED him) had warned him not to do it. Dallas was in last place when he left the team, now they're in reach of a playoff spot. I can't believe his publicist was somehow able to convince the American hockey media (all 3 of them) that he was a "superstar" (as I have heard him referred to) or even a decent player. He's nothing more than an agitator with limited offensive and defensive ability.

Watch how contrived it is, he walks out of the dressing room and up to the media during a scrum, asks if they have a camera, and then starts talking.

And Bilbo, threatening someone if no way to get them to sing your praises.

Yeah I assumed it was probably a repeat offender type thing.

And that he wasn't that good Tend to have a longer leash if you're a star.

Yeah he's a prick an absolute prick he has been hated in pretty much every locker room. He's like hockey's Curt Schilling when he was a ranger he would be on the radio EVERYDAY,calling in to talk about himself.

Scarlette shits on Murphy, Dunst and Alba.

Those aren't even fair matchups... IMO.

Damn Mick I'm not trying to compare Scarlett Johansson to Brittney Murphy I'm not dumb.
