He's just pissed because Ovechkin might beat his scoring total.

What? Ovechkin has played 17 years and even if he doubled his current total he still wouldn't beat Gretzky

Ovechkin- 759 goals
Gretzky- 894 goals.
Goals, I meant, not total points, goals and assists. He could have five more years in him.

Why is it that "conservatives" always deride "sports celebrities" (saying that they have neither the knowledge nor the experience to be able to form valid opinions on political matters) when those "sports celebrities" say "liberal" things yet they always "laud" them and treat their words as "revelations of the gospel" if they say "conservative things"?

Also, why is it that "liberals" always deride "sports celebrities" (saying that they have neither the knowledge nor the experience to be able to form valid opinions on political matters) when those "sports celebrities" say "conservative" things yet they always "laud" them and treat their words as "revelations of the gospel" if they say "liberal things"?

You don't suppose that either one of the two actually gives a damn who said what when they hear what they want to hear, do you?
