What's good with Sweden?

Ah yes, the Super Bowl is right around the corner and I'm still convinced that the Jets should be playing in it. To save time and space, I won't release my aggression in my column, but I'm clearly upset.
My boy Henrik Lundqvist, who happens to be Swedish, has been making me very unhappy as of late. Dude looks like he couldn't stop a shot from Brian Levine. This Johnson kid they got in the net is looking pretty good. I'm saying ride the kid until he gives up a five-goal game or something and then put good ole Henry back in there.
But jeez, can somebody please help out my man Gaborik? The man cannot run the show all by himself, so if any of you Rangers players somehow get a hold of this paper here's a little suggestion: Start playing hockey like real men, not like girly men.
To my disappointment, rumors have it that the Sabres will be landing All-Star winger Ilya Kovalchuk from the Atlanta Thrashers for some draft picks and prospects. Living with a die-hard Buffalo fan is going to be a little more aggravating if this happens.
A recent incident that occurred in the NBA stimulated the part of my brain that loves to rip apart the stupid antics of professional athletes. Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were suspended the rest of the season by David Stern for a little showdown that they had in the locker room. To make a long story short, they pulled guns on each other over some debt that they owed each other from a poker game. Are you serious?
This kind of stuff really gets me going. You are professional athletes making millions of dollars and you still find a way to get yourselves in trouble. I could understand if a group of fat hairy middle age men who don't even have their GEDs decide to pull a gun on one of their morbidly obese friends. But these guys are making a substantial amount of money and they just can't understand how to be mature people. Isn't that too bad? Good luck in the future boys, trying to land a job once you retire.
That's all I got for this week. I had a long winter break and didn't have much time to keep up with the sports world. So next week, I'm bringing my A game. Peace.
