Via Deadspin, comes word of the backruptcy auction of NHLer Darren McCarty's possessions to be held next Sunday, one week from today, in Fraser, Mich.Not to be a scavenger of human misery, but looking over the list of items up for bid, one has to wonder, my sweet lord, this guy apparently had more hobbies than Steve Carell's character in The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
On the block are not only McCarty's Stanley Cup rings, his 1999 custom Corvette and a 22-foot-long powerboat, but:
- "Paintball Supplies, Including, 4 Guns, Hoppers, Air Tanks, Protective Gear"
- "Poker Supplies including, Oak Trimmed Table, folding Poker Table Tops, Chip Set, Assorted Poker Books"
- "Large Assortment of Video Games for XBox and Playstation 2 (many unopened)"
- Oh, and as you would expect, a table hockey game and an air hockey table.
There's also a large assortment of South Park collectibles, if you're into that sort of thing.
FOLLOW-UPS- Hey, the Queen's Golden Gaels got some love from the Toronto Star for Saturday's OUA football playoff win over McMaster.
- An arrest has been made in the killing of former heavyweight champ Trevor Berbick.
- The Toronto Argonauts have caught a break -- they blew a chance to win the CFL's East Division yesterday, but lucked into second place and home field for the semi-final next Sunday. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers not only lost their final game later yesterday, but quarterback Kevin Glenn and D-lineman Doug Brown went down with injuries.
- Early NFL: Michael Vick showed something today in leading Atlanta to a win in Cincy. It's getting a lot harder to accuse of him of freelancing or trying to be a one-man show. A touch pass he threw to Jerius Norwood that set up a key touchdown late in the first half couldn't have been more perfect.
That's all for now. Send your thoughts to neatesager@yahoo.ca.
