Masturbation enthusiast, occasional racist, xenophobe and extremely overrated Dallas Stars forward Sean Avery has some sort of film being made about his experiences as an intern at Vogue.
Apparently this film will be a romantic comedy, which I'm sure will take over Slap Shot as the funniest sports movie of all time.
Let's go to Reuters with more
"Avery, who considers himself something of a fashion jock, spent the summer at Vogue, where, among other duties, he served as guest editor of MensVogue.com.
A member of the NHL's New York Rangers at the time of the internship, he has since signed with the Dallas Stars. He told The Hollywood Reporter he's always been a fashionista. 'I was always trying to be the best-dressed kid in school,' he said.
As an instigator and fighter who piles up penalty minutes, he said he took some ribbing for his Vogue stint, but has learned not to worry about the stereotypes of sport.
'I think it's great to be into something that you care about," he said. "But I'm still an athlete who likes to beat the crap out of people.'"
Needless to say, I won't be seeing said film. Instead, I'll just watch this beautiful piece of cinema repeatedly.
Moving on from overrated fashion-loving hockey players. Make Plays received a tip on Sunday from sports staff writers Tom Copain and Patrick McDermott that Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Michel Therrien was spotted along the Penn State sidelines on Saturday.
I questioned their judgment. After all, why would Therrien be at a Penn State football game?
So, Therrien's journey started with a Char Valley game on Friday and ended with the Stillers on Sunday. Hmmm, there was a football game held at Heinz Field on Saturday but Therrien decided to go three hours east to watch a game. Good choice, Mike.
Of course Penn State and the Stillers won this weekend, both playing pretty well defensively. I'd check on Char Valley, but that's the high school next to mine, and they're irrelevant in football, so.... But anyway, perhaps the Steelers and Nits saw this video and were inspired to play defense the way they did.
