On rdd's reaction to Fallen Angel about the Tim Horton's quip by Mr. Crosby: Yes, I mostly agree, except that he's not average Joe Q. Citizen, who can criticize most anybody, and 99.9% have it not even be a big deal.
Crosby is a professional sports athlete with moderate fame now, and with that comes scrutiny and the responsibility to try not to say something that might come back to haunt you or your reputation in the future. All I know is he better learn to control his temper a bit more, or one day he will mouth off to the wrong person in or out of the NHL, and get himself, fined, suspended, or even jailed if he doesn't watch himself. It's no big secret the guy has massive anger/temper/possibly ego issues. |

I don't hold athletes/celebrities any higher than I hold you or me or any other person. Why should they act any different? He's a 21 year old, no different from anyone else. If he wants to bitch at an incompetent Tim Horton's employee, I say let him.
Don't give me this "responsibility" bullshit. Just because you have this completely ridiculous notion of placing athletes on pedestals doesn't mean they need to be complete pussies on their own time. crossrine |

"You don't keep a guy like Lindstrom waiting too long"
What?! The guy just won the Stanley Cup, Linstrom is pretty low on the list of priorities at that moment. No disrespect to Lindstrom as he's a top class guy and player |

Isn't it EA Sports that is the jinx?

Its supposedly the Madden curse but only because everyone just ignores the few years where nothing happened to the cover guy

Yeah, Rick Nash was 2K Sports' cover guy this year and things went pretty smooth for him.

Looks like his shorts are drawn/airbrushed on. Haven't had a hockey game since NHL Hitz on Gamecube. Might get that

Wish 2K could make a fucking decent baseball game!! I was a NHL2K diehard, but EA Sports Be A Pro Mode sucked me in.

How do the EA and 2k hockey games compare lately? I haven't played an EA one since 2004, or a 2k one since 2k6. Once I get a 360 I'll be looking at a hockey title.

Both are good. The Be a Pro Mode in EA is too amazing to pass up. I've screen some screen shots and previews of EA2010. First person fighting, scrums after the whistle, looks incredible.
