Fanhouse Moves Base Of Operations To The Vatican

Not sure who Greg Couch is.  Oh, I’m sure he’s probably a famous literary giant in sportswriting circles.  According to his bio he’s won a couple things.  Good for him.  What his bio doesn’t say is that he’s pristine. He is absolutely frigging perfect and he’s never done a single thing anyone could possibly point to as immoral, unethical, illegal or just plain naughty.  Chris Chelios?  Now that’s a different story, according to Fanhouse’s papal correspondent.

It’s amazing how fast a story can change. Just 48 days ago, Chris Chelios was an inspiration. Today, he’s pathetic.

Whew…seriously?  Frankly, I’m surprised—considering the crowd we’ve seen Chelios run with—that this is the first alcohol related incident we’ve heard of.  But…“pathetic”? 

Oh, there’s more.

You’ve embarrassed yourself.

Yeah, he probably has.  And he’ll eventually admit it, I’ll bet. 

I suppose he doesn’t really have to be a role model to his teammates, even though many of them probably idolized him when they were kids. But while an arrest is not a conviction, there is no way to understand why a man of his age and this stature would allow himself to be caught with his pants down like this.

He’s 7 years older than me and 7 years younger than a few of the 19. I’ll speak for myself and tell you right now there have been some close…frigging…calls. 

Drinking and driving is no joke.  I’m not condoning it and I’m not making light of it. But on the other hand, I’ll hold my hypocritical fire if you don’t mind. Couch, writing from high atop his ivory tower, has no problem going for the jugular.

Now, he looks like a sad overage frat boy. Is that all this was about, an unwillingness to come home from the party?

And, thankfully, the rest of us who have so many stones to cast have you to represent the lily white.  Man it must be frigging awesome to be so pure.

I guess Chelios’ mistakes are public property now.  Without knowing his blood-alcohol level or any of the circumstances of his arrest, it’s still cool to blast away. 

Is that your MO there Pope Greg?  Well, let’s take a look.

Couch, 2 December 2009

Tiger Woods does not owe us an apology. Not even an explanation. His sex life is his sex life, if that’s what led to his little driving mishap the other night, and it’s none of our business.

Case by case, I guess.  What a dick.
