The National Hockey League has suspended Sean Avery for insulting a fellow hockey player dating Avery’s ex, actress Elisha Cuthbert. According to TMZ

Cuthbert’s new boyfriend, Dion Phaneuf, plays for the Calgary Flames — and during a practice session in Calgary today, Avery got the media’s attention and said the following: “I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don’t know what that’s about. Enjoy the game tonight.”

Avery is out pending a hearing with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.

There’s just something about the term “sloppy seconds.” Avery’d be on the ice right now had he just had the decency to call her a “used-up whore” or “the old dick polisher.” “Sloppy seconds” just crosses a line. It makes you think about Sloppy Joe’s, and Sloppy Joe’s are disgusting, and then you also think “vagina,” (because, really — when aren’t you thinking “vagina?”) and you get this horrible Sloppy-Joe-vagina image seared into your brain, only it’s oozing some other dude’s jism and partially coagulated KY Warming Jelly instead of tomato sauce and meat paste. Sloppy seconds, indeed. You know, people should really be punished for putting those kinds of unholy images in your head. It’s just disgusting.
