HOCKEY COMMENTATORS AND FANS HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH A COLLECTIVE CATHARSIS OVER THE ISLANDERS CHRIS SIMON. SIMON GETS THE LONGEST SUSPENSION IN NHL HISTORY AND THERE ARE THOSE WHO THINK HE AND HIS ILK HAVE DONE IRREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE NHL'S IMAGE, WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE. I WILL GRANT YOU THAT EVERY SPORTSCAST FROM HERE TO KEY WEST, FLORIDA LED WITH SIMON'S STICK SWINGING AND THEN FOLLOWED UP BY RESURRECTING THE TAPE OF TODD BERTUZZI AND MARTY MCSORLEY'S MISCONDUCT. BUT THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A DECADE IN THE NHL AND AGAINST THE OTHER SO-CALLED MAJOR SPORTS THE NHL LOOKS LIKE THE TEDDY BEAR'S PICNIC.
IN THE NFL THE CINCINNATI BENGALS HAVE 9 PLAYERS FACING FELONY CHARGES AT THE SAME TIME. TANK JOHNSON OF THE BEARS IN JAIL FOR 4 MONTHS. TODD BERTUZZI MAY BE A THUG BUT THE NFL CAN OFFER UP PACMAN JONES. NOWHERE IN THE NHL DO WE HAVE A TERRELL OWENS OR RANDY MOSS NO MATTER HOW HARD SEAN AVERY TRIES.
MAJOR LEGUE BASEBALL HAS IT'S OUT AND OUT CHEATING. STEROIDS RULE--- WITH GARY MATTHEWS JUNIOR THE LATEST ACCUSED. AND DON'T FORGET PETE ROSE.
AND THE NBA. WHAT IMAGE COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU HEAR THE NAMES ARTEST, KOBE BRYANT, ALAN IVERSON ALL OF WHOM HAVE HAD RECENT RUN-INS WITH THE LAW.
THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS WRONG WITH THE NHL. SOME SAY FIGHTING SHOULD GO. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT BLOWS TO THE HEAD AND THE LEAGUE STILL PUTS STICKS IN THE HAND OF DELINQUENTS BUT COMPARED WITH THE OTHERS THE NHL COULD BE NOMINATED FOR SAINTHOOD.
