Puck Daddy - NHL

Mixing Sean Avery with the MyFox Dallas Good Day morning news team is gold, Jerry. Especially when he appears partied out after tossing the first pitch at a Texas Rangers game the previous evening, and the anchors are absolutely fascinated by his role as a hockey agitator and his background in the fashion industry.

The video can't be embedded (mainstream media, hooray!), but you can watch it on the MyFox Dallas site. Among the highlights:

• Footage of Avery's first pitch, which was a wild rainbow to the left of home plate. He claims distraction, since the Rangers were playing the New York Yankees. "I was getting booed by some of the Yankee fans, because I used to play in New York."

• Avery's definition of taunting boundaries. Wives and moms? Off limits. "I try not to. More girlfriends."

• Co-anchor Megan Henderson appears ready to begin writing "Mrs. Megan Avery" on her Trapper Keeper 50 times.

• The part of the segment in which Avery actually demonstrates, on the local anchorman, the moves that inspired The Sean Avery Rule in the NHL.

• Finally, the "fashion quiz" the news team surprises him with, in which he must critique the fashion sense of unidentified men in photographs before they're revealed. Witness the hilarity when Avery negatively assesses Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks. "The cowboy hat ... it's going to get a little bit to get used to."

    ^5 at Trapper Keeper.
    Do you think she's passed him the "Do you like me, circle yes or no" note yet? Because I'm pretty sure she heard from her sister's cousin's neighbor's mom's nephew that he thought she was cute.

    Nice hair Megan - good to see the Tori Spelling fan club is still active. And totally called it on his pitch last entry.

    She totally picked out that outfit just for Sean. I could see her trying resist hair twirling and saying "ohmigoshhhhh, you are soooo funny, Sean! Do you want to go to Sadie Hawkins with me?"

    She clearly has the throbbing thigh sweats for Sean.

    Megan Henderson came from the same factory where Fox news mass produces all of its hot female reporter drones. They are utterly interchangeable.

    Poor Megan. Leave her alone.
    Sean seems to be on painkillers all the time. Now that I think about it, all the hockey players sound like God has his finger on the 45 in their mind, don't you think?

    Nice number Sean. I'd rather you didn't.

    I really can't stand Megan....she's so freakin' uptight on all of the news segments. This is the loosest I've ever seen her appear, and I kind of have to agree with the poster who supposed it was the "Throbbing Thigh Sweats" (awesome, btw). Those two idiots make Fox TV more unwatchable than usual in the mornings.

    Sorry, my "throbbing thigh sweats" statement was not original. I got it off Cheers 20+ years ago. It is always a homerun, when I break it out of storage. It is my belief that the world will always be a better place with "throbbing thigh sweats" references.

    I've always perceived Meagan as being kind of a fake. Fox 4's seen it's fair share of hawtness roll though it's studios, though. Including one Ashleigh Banfield.

    I swear Avery is the worst thing to happen to the Stars. Ever. _

    Who's with me in thinking that the Stars should at least try and put Avery, Morrow, and Steve Ott on the same line...they would be really annoying on the ice but I think a lot of fun to watch

    I tell you what, when Avery gives me 5 assists in one game, then I'll give him a chance. But until then, he's absolutely useless and I can't believe we paid that much for him.

    paul, i think they might do it once just for shows and the talk about it. Lacy, I bet you doubted on Richards as well.

    I only doubted Richards because we gave up Jokinen. I do not like Avery and I can't believe anyone would support this deal considering he's a huge douche and a mediocre player at best.
