Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

You know it's a slow day when the biggest news is..."Douchegate 2010"


So we all know by now that Max Talbot called Alex Ovechkin a douche in the press the other day. At first glance this should be no big deal right? Guys call other guys douches all the time, it's almost like a right of passage from boy to teenager. I know I have been called worse and I'm sure most of you have too.

 

What I fail to understand is why this is a bad thing. I was reading the Puck Daddy blog titled:

The 5 most ridiculous things about Ovechkin/Talbot spat

 

As I read it was like a light went on and I became blinded by the golden dollar signs. I felt the need to share my insight before my idea became someone else's. Please stay until after the jump for the commercialization of 'Douchgate'

Star-divide

All Talbot did was open the door for Ovie to sign a lucrative endorsement deal with massengill...


I can see the add now...


Late second period of a game, a guy looks at his date, crinkles nose and says..."Oh God, is that you?"
Her face flushes with embarrassment. Ovie sees the girls eyes welling up with tears as he crosses the blue line. He slams on the brakes sending a shower of snow and ice in the air. She looks at him, and he at her. He winks and let's a shrill whistle escape from the grand canyon between his teeth. The trainer quickly grabs something from behind the bench and throws it down the ice. Ovie stops it with his skate and fires a wrist shop over the glass into the girls hands. She smiles and winks as she heads off up the stairway.

Zoom in on Ovie..."Stay fresh anytime, anywhere...now that's a game winning goal."

And tell me who couldn't see Talbot's mug on a box of Massengill's brand new "MAXIEPads"...

It would seem that this could be a financial windstorm for either of them, but the poll below wants to know...

Who's agent should be running to Massengill faster?

Ovie is a giant douche, and Talbot is a turd sandwich

So the question arises again, would you rather be a giant douche or a turd sandwich?

what a waste

I really think Avery is the one and only official “douche” of the NHL.
Its a shame Talbot could not rub enough brain cells to come up with a more original derogatory term to describe OV.
