Not so Fast: Good Does Triumph Over Evil!

James Haskell's voodoo doll of Tom Croft just couldn't cut it...much like whatever James Haskell does, because Tom Croft will not need surgery to repair his injured shoulder after all.

phew!

This of course means that Croft will mostly likely be healthy for the Six Nations, which will essentially be the practice run for the world cup, and if Haskell doesn't make an appearance there, well its kind of safe to say he'll have a special seat to warm in New Zealand!

Ahhh justice!

What's more, it seems that The Mouth has given up on the no. 6 Jersey:

"I'd like to have a shot one day at 7 for England, playing with Crofty and Nick Easter. But you've got Lewis Moody and now Hendre Fourie in the way so it's a real difficult thing to do."

Planet Rugby



Oh Hendre Fourie, that's a South African name if I've ever heard one. But I digress, its appears that Haskell is FINALLY getting wise to the fact that Tom Croft is #1 for number 6! But I don't know why he thinks he'll be able to take on Lewis Moody, is he serious right now?

Here's what he said about starting in the Samoa game:

"It was not about me trying to force my way back into a side because you don't want to do too much. I just wanted to put my credentials out there, have a solid game and make no mistakes, which is what I did. If I can involve myself on the bench next week that will be brilliant. These decisions are out of my hands so I can just keep doing what I'm doing."

Planet Rugby

...Tom Croft doesn't have these kinds conversations, just sayin'

His move to France barely made the impact he wanted it to.

BONUS


Ugo Monye feels the EXACT same way we do:

Sport.co.uk notice you’re one of an ever increasing number of sportsmen on Twitter – who do you enjoy following, and are there any players with whom you’re loving the banter?

Danny Care...I’m always having banter with him. Dave Strettle is another good one actually; he’s quite funny for a northern lad! James Haskell has always got something to say...when he’s not trying to promote himself.

AHAHAHAHAHA!

/Haterade

NOOOOOOOOOO

Tom Croft will be out for at least 4 weeks due to a shoulder injury, he received during England v South Africa game(which they lost)...

I think I've underestimated James Haskell.

Oh hai thar!

So the gossip world is going nuts over whether or not the Duff is engaged to New York Islander's Douche, Mike Comrie...except that she's not.

The ring she was seen with was not an engagement type of ring, if and when the time comes, Mike can afford something with a little more ice, ya know what I mean?

Hilary is a smart girl (or maybe her handlers are smart) because this girl has been in the game since childhood, she knows how to play, and she knows how to play it well. These days everyone's getting engaged, and having babies, and in Hollywood, that equates to endorsements and box office sales. ~*Hil*~ has a bunch of movies coming out, and will soon be releasing another greatest hits album (although I can't really figure out why), leaving Hollywood records and wants to continue on with her music career with another record company(why, oh god, why?), so she needs support, she needs people to buy her albums and tickets to her movies, she needs people to care about her because as it stands no one really cares about Hilary Duff.



Why would you pay attention to the Duff's grocery shopping routine when you can pay attention to Lindsay Lohan's hot lesbian affair or watch Ashlee Simpson's bump grow or fantasize over Blake Lively and Pen Badgley's relationship or guess which Jonas brother's done the dirty deed. Hell even Suri Cruise is waaaaay more interesting! Hilary's relevance is fading fast, and she knows it! That's why she's been working the red carpet with her ape boyfriend on her arm. But like I said, ~*Hil*~ is smart, she doesn't want to break away from her good girl image (whether that image is a true reflection of her, well, that's another story), so what do you do when the 'no panty upskirt' is out of the question, and pregnancy rumors are not an option? Why, you play the blushing-bride-to-be card, of course!



So smart!

Notice how there hasn't been any confirmations or rebuttals. ~*Hil*~ knows how this game works! Look, even I'm talking about it! We're starting to care guys, and we'll start to buy her albums, and go watch her movies, and sooner or later she'll be on par with Blake Lively and Lindsay Lohan. Just you watch guys! The media is a lot like politics...maybe that's why I love it so much!

But having said that, no one will care about ~*Hil*~ like we do about Britney, or Lindsay, or [presently] Sienna Miller. Scandal sells more than cotton candy clouds and happily ever after, that's why Hilary will always be 2nd fiddle, be in B-grade movies (at best), and never break any kind of record with her music (commercial or critical).

Will there be a wedding with Mike and ~*Hil*~? I wouldn't discount it, this girl did go out with Joel Madden for 2 yrs, and before that there was Aaron Carter. But I don't think it will be anytime soon.

I still think the Duff can do better than this loser, sure he's a pro athlete and comes from money but he's a huge douche, a so-so hockey player and is the 2nd son born to Bill Comrie, which means he isn't the heir apparent, which means he's 2nd in line, which means Paul will probably inherit mostly if not all of Bill's fortune and then sell the shares and make a shit load of money...looks like you chose the wrong brother ~*Hil*~.

So what's it doing for him?

We know that Dion's philandering has gotten him a video game cover but what of Mike Comrie? What's boinking Lizzie McGuire got him? Sure he's gotten floor tickets to an LA Lakers game (boo!!!! go Celtics !!!!!!!!!) but in terms of his career, of endorsement deals, of being one of the faces of hockey????? What is Mike Comrie getting out of this?

NADA, that's what!

I guess its entirely possible that, he loves ~*Hil*~ for ~*Hil*~, and that this relationship is completely selfless and giving, etc. etc. etc. But unfortunately the tooth fair doesn't exist, we don't go to care bare land when we die AND the good guys rarely win. Do not be fooled people, this is the era of who you date or how much you're photographed can help further your career. Their relationship is on public display, they want us to watch, to fantasize about weddings and babies, so that we'll buy their albums, their clothing lines, and so the calls keeping coming from various sponsors/designers/organizers.

9 times out of 10 when you see candids of a celeb, they or their people have called various agencies to catch them going ~*grocery shopping*~ or ~*buying lattes*~ or ~*walking their dog(s)*~. Nothing is an accident when it comes to Hollywood, and Mike and Hilary are no different. BUT unfortunately for Michael it seems that Gatorade/RBK/Nike-Bauer/Under Armour hell even the NHL itself doesn't give a damn that Mike Comrie is boinking the Duff.

Why?

Sorry Mike! You'll never get to stand beside Peyton Manning, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!

Probably because Mike had his shot for NHL stardom and fucked it up, probably in Edmonton, where he allegedly fucked someone's wife, but that's never been confirmed so who knows, right? *cough* Plus he's never developed into a standout player, sure on the New York Islanders he's the 2nd best player but guys its the New York Islanders, my delinquent little brother, the Toronto Maple Leafs, placed better than them! I'm pretty sure I'd be a star player on the NYI. When 2010 comes DO NOT be surprised when Steve Yzerman DOES NOT call Mike Comrie to be a part of Team Canada. I mean why would you want Comrie when you can have Crosby, Nash, Heatley, Richards, Staals (all 4), Spezza, Lecavalier, Doan, Keith, Green, Savard, St.Louis...do I need to go on?

But don't you fret, all you Mike + Hilary lovers, he'll never get rid of the Duff even if its doing nothing for his career, I mean could Mike do better than Hilary Duff??? Methinks not!!!! She'll definitely be doing the dumping! Which I hopes she does soon because she deserves so much better!

Skynet is Taking Over One NHL Franchise at a Time

My brother and I are throughly convinced that the super computer system Skynet (a la the Terminator movies) has indeed taken over the world. ALSO we are 100% convinced that the Stanley Cup Champs have already been decided and I personally believe, without any bias whatsoever, that the 2008 Stanley Cup Champions are: The Pittsburgh Penguins.

Let's think about this logically, shall we?

-Detroit has already won a Stanley Cup this decade
-Pittsburgh is gearing up to be the next Hockeytown, USA, and has yet to win a cup this century
-Detroit is old, they play boring ol' ~*skilled*~ hockey, with minimal fighting
-Pittsburgh is young they play with emotion, skill AND they merkk a few bitches along the way AKA they play the kind of hockey that makes Gary Bettman hard
-Detroit's captain, Niklas Lidstrom, is human, probably one of the nicest guys in the NHL
-AND Sidney Crosby is a fucking cyborg



Look into his eyes and tell me you think that's human. Watch any or all interviews of The Kid and tell me those answers, those reactions don't seem, rehearsed, programmed, even? How the fuck is he soooo good? How is he so fast?

I mean this answers everything: like why would a 20 year old, good looking, pro athlete want to live with Mario Lemieux and his brood of children, when he could be rooming with Staal and taking body shots from strippers? OR why can't homeboy dress...like AT.ALL. (robots have no sense of style...want proof, look at is RBK line, like srsly dude wtf)? OR why hasn't he gotten a decent hair cut? OR why when asked about his mother on mother's day, his best response was 'she's a typical hockey mom' OR why, when journalists' crack a joke or two, homeboy just.doesn't.get.it.

Sidney Crosby is a fucking cyborg. He's a terminator, He's the T-1000!!!!!!!




...usually I'm all for human liberation and whatnot but this time, this series, I'm on the machines' side!




PS so if Crosby is a terminator that means that Ovechkin is John Connor...makes SO much sense!
