f*** it, I'd do it. Milbury is an old face who brings nothing new and potentially turns people off. Avery is combustible and likely to say something dumb... but he'd certainly bring a different energy. And I really do think Avery would be smarter than he'd be given credit for being. As long as he respects those he works with anyway.

NBC will save money on make up because Avery does his own.

Sean "Sloppy Seconds" Avery?
To replace Milbury? After all the shit Milbury just took for something that wasn't even offensive?

I bought Avery's book. I've always kind of appreciated his act. (Truth be told, reading his book, it became clear how egocentric he is). And I always thought he'd be a potential guy for this kind of tv role.

But in today's era? f*** no.

 

[Frk It]

Sean Avery is already more relevant than he needs to be... I’ll pass.

That’s why I put in the caveat that he’s gotta respect the team he’s on.

He didn’t act like a buffoon when on a team with Yzerman and Chelios and Shanahan. When there are people around that Avery respects, he can show the attitude a bit.

And I even stated why, even if he’s likely to say something dumb (which he is), I could see the benefit. Milbury is a bad former player, coach and GM. How many people actually respect Mike Milbury’s opinion? What does he actually add to a broadcast team? At least with Pierre, no matter how creepy people might find him, you know that you’ve got an encyclopedia about all the young player’s histories.

If you’re not going to have an actual good broadcast team, give me a train wreck.

Entertaining controversy creates cash and interest. Controversy because a long-standing broadcaster says something borderline... not so much.

saw this today, it fits the thread. who's the bigger idiot? Avery or Marchand?

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Out of the pan, into the fire.

 

[Shaman464]

I would be entertaining for as long as it lasts. Probably about as long as his stick magic in New York.

 

[Avery Rule]

I'm all for it

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

I absolutely loved Avery as a player, too bad he couldn’t keep his mouth shut and act like a decent person

In this soft ass PG era it will never happen, but it could have back in the day

 

[DetroitRed]

Just about anyone could replace Mike Milbury and I'd be okay.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

So... Sean wants Mike's sloppy seconds?

 

[GMR]

I've already forgiven Jeremy Roenick.

Hockey commentary sucks in general without Thorne and Clement.
