#17 The Avery Man
The JF sent me this little piece about John Avery of the Toronto Argonauts this week:
That reminded me of the best thing I've ever seen on TV. It was when the CFL unveiled their new uniforms a couple seasons back and they didn an interview with AVery about them. He said something about how nice they felt and how he wanted to go home and take everything off and put on some socks and lay in bed wearing it reading a book... or something to that effect... followed by a big woooo.
Needless to say, I NEED someone to find a clip of that interview, or a direct quote from it for me. It was too much, and it is the number one must see of any sports interview ever. It just doesnt seem to exist anywhere anymore, except maybe in a beautiful dream. A beautiful, beautiful dream. Maybe that's all it ever was. It was almost too perfect to be true.
Have the majority of my posts really been about the CFL? What's going on here. I haven't even mentioned Vishnevski's $1.55 million awarding yet, but I've mentioned the CFL 5 times. Solid.
i was watching cabbie's show before and he was asking people what was the first game they went to. and he asked john avery. he said his first game was with his guidance counselor. because he was in a special class. not because he was slow. he said that. then he made a failed attempt at mumbling through what the reason was for him being in the class before coming back to "not because i was slow". as he was trailing off he made some comment to the effect of it's not true what they say about the short bus. it was pretty good.

"I just want to go home and... take my jersey off and... put it back on and... put on some socks and read a book. I feel vulnerable."
