1. You (via the NHLPA) and your employer (the NHL) just spent months negotiating a new CBA, which basically, was millionaires arguing with billionaires. Bragging about how much money you make and how awesome your life is will not earn you respect from fans, peers, or analysts. Don't do that.
2. If/when you take a trip to Vegas (as most young men do) and you happen to win a fat stack of cash, don't tweet a picture of yourself to another millionaire bragging about it, simply text it to him! Problem solved. Remember, you not playing for 34 out of 82 games this year meant some people could barely scrape their rent together during that time. Don't do that.
3. If you absolutely must shave something into the back of your head for some reason, make it something that's a little more humble than the acronym for "young money cash money billionaires" and instead opt for "I <3 Mom" or "Thank You WPG" or "Have Your Pets Spade Or Neutered" Or, here's an even crazier idea, just. Don't. Do. That.
4. Talent = Great! but... Humility + Talent = Legendary. If you care about your legacy, tone it down a bit.
...and lastly...
5. Keep scoring goals and winning games, because at the end of the day, none of this shit (bragging, boasting, insensitivity, and/or cockiness) matters to a city like Winnipeg if their team is winning.
Cheers!

Hm. The acronym for "young money cash money billionaires" is the same as the one for "you might collect my belongings." An open invitation?
ReplyDeleteCoincidence?! I think not.
DeleteThis post is awesome. I was really surprised Kane didn't skate out holding two wads of cash at the opening game. Also, 92 did a fake advertisement for "money phones" on the radio the other day (at least I assumed it was fake). Too funny.
ReplyDeleteHa thanks Marney. He's a helluva player but a little modesty would go a long way.
DeleteHells yah! Imma email this to Kane real quick...
ReplyDeleteHaha I tweeted it at him, to no avail obviously.
