from Mike Devlin of the Victoria Times Colonist,
(Bill) Cosby, who played football and ran track for his alma mater, Philadelphia’s Temple University, also had good things to say about the men’s gold-medal contest — and one person in particular.
“It was a good match. (When the U.S. side tied it up), I know Canadians must have been saying, ‘Oh, God, here we go.’ And it didn’t happen, thanks to a kid named Sidney Crosby.”
Cosby was in California on business when Sid the Kid scored the winner in a 3-2 victory over the U.S. Later that night, while watching news reports about the game, Cosby said he was saddened by the slant of the coverage.
“I’m watching a guy do the sports, and he said, ‘How can we lose to a country that has fewer people than the state of California?’ He was mad and he couldn’t take it. They don’t know how to behave. That’s your sport.”
read on for Cosby’s view on the post game celebration by the Canadian women…

“When guys win the championship of the world in baseball or basketball, they are pouring champagne over each other and lighting cigars in the shower. So what do you want women to do, go out and give birth?”
Excellent point. Good find, Paul.

So what! How is Bill Cosby relevant at all to hockey? As a matter of fact, I would argue he is of all famous people the least relevant. Can someone possibly provide an example of a celebrity who is less relevant than Bill Cosby is to hockey?
