Sean Avery: Gimme a Sloppy Second Chance!

Hockey hothead Sean Avery is scrambling to make up for the foul comments he made about his ex girlfriend, Elisha Cuthbert, by releasing this apology:

"I would like to sincerely apologize for my off-color remarks to the press yesterday from Calgary.

"I should not have made those comments and I recognize that they were inappropriate. It was a bad attempt to build excitement for the game, but I am now acutely aware of how hurtful my actions were. I caused unnecessary embarrassment to my peers as well as people I have been close with in the past.

"I apologize for offending the great fans of the NHL, the commissioner, my teammates, my coaching staff and the Dallas Stars management and ownership. As many of you know, I like to mix it up on and off the ice from time to time, but understand that this time I took it too far."

Sean was suspended indefinitely by the NHL for saying another hockey player was lapping up his "sloppy seconds" (Elisha) -- his apology came from SportingNews.com.

16. Why are so many of you ragging on hockey so bad?!?! Rednecks!?!?! How many basketball and football players have been charged with sexual assualt lately? Don't get me wrong Avery is an idiot and should watch his mouth but it's not hockey's fault, every sport has their share of jerks.

17. Hey Lucy, ignorant rednecks? That sounds like a sterotype to me, sterotypes would fall under ignorant as well wouldn't they?! Sure, Avery is an idiot who should keep his mouth shut but that's not hockey's fault. There are a lot of well respected hockey players who do a lot for their communities. Every sport has their fair share of jerks, come to think of it the other sports stars I have heard about lately that have been in trouble have not been hockey players. Call Avery an ingnorant redneck but lay off the sport in general.

18. Hey Lucy, just have to point out that the majority of Hockey Players are IGNORANT FOREIGNERS, not ignorant rednecks....

19. This a JOKE. The NHL has a problem with Avery and everybody knows it. Other players have done much worse in hockey and nothing happened to them. Avery, if Dallas doesn't want you anymore, come back to the RANGERS.

20. 6. Words are like spent arrows, once you say them you can NEVER get them back. He is nothing but a low class pig. I would be embarrassed if I were his girlfriend, mother, wife, etc. Wash you mouth out and control your edit feature.

21. Does anybody remember the whole Todd Bertuzzi mess, he almost killed another player with one hit, ended his career and was only suspended for 1 season. Sean Avery ran his mouth about his ex and gets suspened indefinately. That's just wrong. Sean Avery isn't the reason the Stars suck this season. Maybe if Turco would spend more time working on his sorry game and less time bad mouthing his teammates they might not be the bottom dwellers that they are.

22. That apology was obviously written for him, cause he never talks like that. Plus the loser wouldn't have apologized if it wasn't for him getting suspended indefinitely. He's an immature asshole and it's about time his childish ways got him in trouble. Sean, Elisha dumped your stupid ass, now get over it!

23. I'm pretty sure the Kings would be happy to take him back.

24. Typical Jock comment,no wonder I hated these guys in school,most of them turned out be coke heads in the end.I heard he also dated Racheal Hunter Rod Stewarts ex so I quess he got Rods sloppy seconds.Dallas Stars just jumped on a excuse to get rid of him cause nobody can stand the aggorant dweeb.Please whatever you do don,t come back to Canada,stay in the good old United States and join WWF with all your other mouthy roid boys

25. Sean's a really good kid who likes to live on the edge. He is exciting to watch and a lot of people who would never watch hockey are interested in watching because of him. When he was in NY, I started watching the Rangers again, who I haven't even thought about since '94. Now that he's gone, they're completely boring again. ITS HOCKEY, MAJOR TRASHTALKING AND FISTFIGHTS GO DOWN EVERY SINGLE DAY. If anyone else had said this it wouldn't have even made it to the press. Just because it's Sean and everyones watching his every move, this becomes a big deal? Give the guy a break, the league was just waiting for an excuse. I think what he said is quite funny and actually TRUE.

26. Reading these comments, it seems that no one remembers the other stupid things Sean Avery had done. Disrespecting officials, racial slurs and the list goes on. There is no room in hockey or any other sport for jackass' like this. Being an avid hockey fan, I hope I never have to see this guy again. Unfortunately, here we are talking about him, exactly what this egomaniac wanted.

27. #22 (aka: Loser) what does "aggorant" mean? and I think the real reason you hated jocks in high school is because you were then (and still are) a LOSER.

I hope the Wings pick Avery up again. I live in Detroit and even with the depressed economy, I'd scrape together money for a ticket to see him play for us again.

28. please...this BS is blown way out of proportion..........WHAT HE SAID WAS TRUE....HE IS DATING HIS SLOPPY SECONDS..HELL THAT TERM IS USED EVERYDAY AND THE CRY BABY WHO IS DATING HIS LEFTOVERS IS JUST THAT A WIMP OF A MAN...HOW MANY TIMES HAS SOME DATED THE WIMPS SLOPPY SECONDS.......SEAN DONT APOLOGIZE TO THAT WIMP.........HE IS DATING YOUR SLOPPY SECONDS...AND THATS JUST THE TRUTH!

Posted at 12:40PM on Dec 4th 2008 by A DUDE WITH LOTS OF SLOPPY SECONDS

29. I think this is a horrible, offensive display of power by the National Hockey League. Since when has this man, or any of us, for that matter, given up our 5th Amendment RIGHT to FREEDOM OF SPEECH. The tabloids can print all kinds of crap about anyone and this man, who had a history with a particular woman, cannot make ONE COMMENT, or two, three or four, about a woman who in his opinion is "sloppy seconds". This is a disgrace to THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and he should SUE the NHL for breeching his 5TH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH. The NHL should be fined for breaking the law by taking his FREEDOM OF SPEECH RIGHTS AWAY.

30. #26 The 5th amendment covers DUE PROCESS. The FIRST amendment covers that whole FREEDOM OF SPEECH thing you keep going on about. But, I get what you were trying to say...
