MISTAKES HAPPEN, BUT WHY MUST IDIOCY PREVAIL? WHY?

The picture you see is not normal. It is not normal in the sense that the forward with the puck rarely finds himself in this position. Instead, he can usually be found flopping around, a little bit behind every other player on the ice, trying desperately to make a hit on an opposing player. Sorry, loser, the hockey you were bred in to is gone. We're back to actually playing the game and skating.

Players like he above grew up watching and playing a game that rewarded laziness and lack of skill. Thus, why offer this assinine fool good money. The joke, his name is Matt Cooke, thinks he's worth the kind of money the Sedin twins are. Yeah, right. Not even close. This brings us to another problem altogether in professional sports. The agent.

I guess it's somewhat of a rhetorical question, but are athletes really that stupid that they need someone to barter for them? The only player in the NHL, that I know of, that has the intelligence to see agents for the useless twats they are is the great Martin Brodeur. Why would you want to give 10% of your pay to someone who is directly jacking up prices surrounding sports?

Anyways, I just read the Canucks are close to signing Cooke to a three year deal. He sucks. He should be traded for some smokes and hash.
