I'm Telling
What is the point of having this blog if Damien Cox is just going to review his own work for us:
"Leaf fans are used to being treated as morons, but this is a new level of insult."
Hell yeah! Except, unfortunately, Damien hasn't turned his withering gaze upon himself. These harsh words are, of course, lobbed in the direction of the man who has pissed in all of our cornflakes - but seems to have left a little extra nugget of something in the bottom of Damien's bowl - Mr Dick Peddie.
Yesterday, while David Shoalts was busy pointing out that waiting a year to hire a good GM wouldn't be the worst decision ever, Damien threw all his toys out of the crib and demanded that the Leafs hire a GM now! Because he wants one, dammit!
Listen, we get it, Richard Peddie sucks. We cheer for this team, and, goddamn, does it piss us off that this man is running the ship. But do you know what else sucks? Reading this same fucking score-settling column every day.
Whereas the aforementioned Shoalts piece analyzed the situation and concluded that it may make a lot of sense to wait until the GM that the Leafs want is available - since the team isn't going to win much anyway, and Fletcher is more than capable as a caretaker - Cox fills his piece with words like arrogance, incompetence and idiocy. This isn't analysis. This is schoolyard. This is Fox News. This is boring.

Nobody in the entire hockey universe.
So they've decided to make it 42 years and look again next summer.
Damien goes on to criticize the process that resulted in Brylcreem Jr.taking the reins in Toronto while at the same time demanding that the Leafs...um...follow the same process that resulted in Brylcreem Jr taking the reins in Toronto.Listen, we get it, Richard Peddie sucks.

i love a good "terrorist fist jab"...i'd love to send a "terrorist fist jab" into Cox's face...
we need to declare a jihad against Cox.
You know, your second-last paragraph there really summed up my problem with Cox in particular. That it's the same old column, day after day. Well, it's one of three columns.
The Leafs are about to do something:
"Richard Peddie, who rules the Leafs with an iron fist, is about to do something that will make the MLSE board a lot of money and will screw the team over irreparably, and the fans, being idiots, will lap it up like the dogs that they are."
The Leafs do something:
"Richard Peddie, who hates the Leafs and masturbates daily to a big photo of a pile of cash, did something really stupid today that will ensure that the Leafs will never, ever win a Cup ever and still the fans will applaud like the bunch of trained retarded seals that they are."
The Leafs do nothing:
"Richard Peddie needs to do something RIGHT NOW, which is why it's such a shame that he only cares about money and hates the Leafs and the Leafs' fans, who are too stupid to know when something needs to be done - if they did, they'd listen to me and hate the Leafs too."
Cut-n-paste sure is easy, eh Damien?
