MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Why does anyone still pay attention to what Cherry says or writes? He's the most irrelevant person in sports.Sadly, you and I both know he has a huge following in this country, many of whom take everything he says as gospel. So he's hardly irrelevant, cause there is a whole horde of idiots out there just waiting to hear him preach from the pulpit on Saturday night, and then make his opinion theirs on Monday.if hes looking for hypocrites, he should take a nice, long look at the mirror. I cant believe he has the balls to speak out on violence in hockey. Give me a break. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Irrelevant was obviously the wrong word. Some sort of combination of the following words would have worked better: pile, steaming, idiot, shit, of. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,311 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Majority of Canadians disagree...The average person just isn't very smart.Cherry has a very large fan base. There also are a huge number of people who think he's idiot who is basically a cartoon character at this point. You love him mostly because he loves the Leafs. If he said all the exact same things he does now but instead was talking about the Oilers as "we" etc I think you would view him differently.Don't get me wrong he supports some good causes and charities but that doesn't change the fact that he's a clown.

I never get enough of this.Yes, you are free to have opinions...The highbrow attitude that you, Chris and the others have towards Don Cherry is in fact wrong , only because its not warranted in this case....Its your opinion and its great to hear, however belittling a huge part of the population and telling them that they are idiots isnt cool.

I respect your opinions, and your making some good points. My personal feelings are in my other post on Cherry.btw, I have similar issues with you doing that to all Habs fans or calling out "Nascar idiots who dont know a thing about hockey" and other deragotory terms, but I understand we all say things sometimes that others dont like. I dont think I called you out on a single one of your shots at the fans of Carolina, but personally, I dont think thats cool either tbh. Link to post Share on other sites

The comment is to poke fun in a joking manner at the fact that most people in Carolina would rather watch NASCAR than hockey..Its a fact...I dont go on HNIC and broadcast that to millions of people...Yes its not fair, but i can admit to it...Its supposed to be a joke, but sometimes gets misinterpreted..Sorry if I have offended you...Because I am sure you know a lot more about Jiri Tlusty than the average citizen of the area.

Zach6668 513 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Kennedy is apparently trying to play himself out of Pittsburgh's desired contract range for next season. Just hit 40 points for the first time in his career, and he's nearly PPG over the last dozen games or so. Playing the best hockey of his career right now. What a beast.
