Some people don't know how to leave their past behind. It's been this way for him since he retired. He'd be the guy showing up to his old work place just to look in.....maybe even pitch a hand. You wonder why the guy left at all but we all know it's really because he burned all his bridges.
I liked Sean for the most part as a Rangers player. That said he needs to let it go. I don't like him very much as a retired player. It's to the point now where it's GTFO!
Everyone knows at least a couple people in their life who are just not particularly awesome human beings.
They get angry at a moments notice, which seeps into social relationships and makes family life untenable.
They are hypocritical, holding others to a standard that they don't follow, and seem willfully oblivious to the inconsistency.
They have extremely strong attitudes and prejudices about people based on descriptive characteristics.
They often treat women as lesser, more often than not because social roles about politeness and lack of confrontation make them easier targets who don't push back.
They're very happy to tell other people how to live, but recoil when offered the same unsolicited advice that they so often spout.
And yes, a lot of them also like to get a few drinks in and talk about the glory days until no one is left at the bar willing to listen to them.
They'd prefer to bully and use ad hominems in discussions when the yfeel challenged.
Beneath all of it is typically a dee lying insecurity, which just happens to manifest itself in the most obnoxious way possible.
People like Sean Avery and DeAngelo are not people that should be respected, listened to, or looked up to. Sean is a drunk, a leaguewide clown/embarassment, and I wouldn't leave him a dollar in my will if he was my own stepchild.
