Goat of the Week: Martin Brodeur

I'm so tired of the Marty Brodeur talk. I'm really happy for him, I really am. I'm glad he's getting all the press that he rightfully deserves, but Martin, sweet Martin. You know what no one enjoys? Hubris. You realize how much of a dick you sounded earlier this week? "It just puts me in a class of my own."

Really? One win and all of a sudden Patrick Roy isn't in the conversation? I'll give you a class of your own...Pilates, fat ass. Well, since everyone and their uncle is blowing Brodeur as if he's Sidney Crosby, well, it's time to bring Sweet Cheeks back down to earth. How? How's $500,000 a year sound?

Why are we giving Martin Brodeur the Goat of the Week? Well, I think we can compare him to one of the other media sponsored athletes of our generation; Lance Armstrong. Now don't get me wrong, he is a phenomenal athlete, but he too, is a giant piece of shit (Bono, Lance Armstrong, Kim Jong Il, in that order). If you'd recall Lance left his wife and children for Sheryl Crow (you stay classy Lance).


Now, I don't like delving into athlete's personal lives (that's a lie) but goodness, Marty's life this decade is like a bad story arc in Days of Our Lives. His now ex-wife, Melanie DuBois, with whom Marty has 4 kids, filed for divorce in 2003. Why? Oh, he was just cheating on her with her brother's wife. And yes, Marty Brodeur married that woman in 2008 . Fantastic role model for the kids, but then again, he does reside in Jersey.

Well as much as his personal life didn't seem to bother his play on the ice, maybe the hit to his checking account will. Today Martin has been forced by the New Jersey Appeals Court to pay $500,000 in alimony, per year, all the way until 2020 (when his youngest child graduates college). He will be paying $500K for over 10 years, yeah, do the math. $5 million plus.

Don't feel sorry for Marty, he doesn't need that money. But, she probably does. Anyways, this is our way of letting Mr. Brodeur know, you still have a job to do. Records may last forever, but I'd rather have a yacht with a helipad.
Martin Brodeur joins the ranks of other, and probably much more deserving, Goats of the Week. As always, find the rest of em here.

Hey Vance, lovin' your write-ups. Couldn't agree more about Brodeur, and linked you in my blog on the same subject. Hope you enjoy, and don't mind. Let me know either way.

what does being from jersey have anything to do with the topic of cheating on his wife, as if cheating only happens in that state, not to mention they are all Canadian not American(well now he is)... he may be a selfish ass but what happens in his private life should have no reason to be public and if that is was American press is all about i think society should stand back and take a look at what we consider okay behavior... he is just one of many people who act the same way, being famous shouldnt change that...

Hey guys,

I'm here online for the kids of Haiti.

I'm doing my part for a non-profit group in which the main focus is to
creating oppurtunities for the children in haiti. If anyone here wants to help then this is the site:

[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti

They give kids in Haiti a positive outlook through education.

And yes, they are legitimate.

It would be awesome if you could help us

In today’s rocky economic climate, most households are cutting back wherever they can. I too faced the problem and wated to cut down on
cable tv, I tried P2P, but then not impressed with it. I started collecting ways to watch my favorite tv shows online.
I have listed then in my blogspot, I try to cover as many tv shows and matches as possible, to help others like
me to watch their favorite sports or tv shows online for free.

But my list is not complete, I don't know where to find some international shows, for sports you have numerous resources, Can someone here help me with that?
Please tell me you favorite shows that you watch regularly and also some ideas to cover them. If you need to know the shows that I cover, then visit my blogs

Now here is a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 5 hundred running shoe, and, since it originally comes from the '80s, the gaming electrified design and coloring is a simple choice ... Right? The kicks may not be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packed with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a PC game based on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes that the game stars a personality named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has five mins to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off insane rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' in order to get on-stage before his set starts. It appears to be fittingly retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

Depending on what your destination is and how long you plan on making your trip for, the airfare may be the priciest expense. Because of this, finding a great deal on the airfare becomes extremely important. The more money you are able to save on the plane tickets, the more money you will be able to use toward your actual vacation.

When it comes to purchasing your airline tickets, the sooner the better. This goes for basically anywhere you plan on traveling. When you purchase a ticket sooner, lets say several months before the trip, there will be less of a demand, which will drive the price of the ticket down. However, on the flip side, as the day of the desired flight approaches, the flight's seats will begin to fill up. As fewer and few seats become available, the higher the demand will be, which will drive the price up. Booking the flight in as far advance as you can may save you hundreds of dollars in the long run.

Flying during the middle of the week is generally the cheapest time to fly. Fewer people travel during mid week than on Friday through Sunday. If at all possible, fly out on a Tuesday or Wednesday. You may actually find prices significantly less expensive on the Wednesday than the Sunday of the same week.

Looking for airfare online will probably be your best be at securing the cheapest possible flight price. There are multiple booking agencies which specialize in finding the cheapest airfare. However, to save time, go to Bing.com, which offers a comprehensive flight search option. Bing will search other travel sites (Expedia, Priceline, Hotwire, etc.) and display the cheapest flight form each site. From here you will be able to decide which website offers the best deal.

Students can often find discounted airfare by visiting STA.com. This is the Student Travel Association, and it can sometimes find less expensive airfare for the traveling student. This isn't always the case, but it doesn't hurt to look.

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..

When I was hurt in that automobile accident my life would be changed eternally. Sadly that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be hurting for ever.

This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good accident lawyer to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.

How rotten was it? I has bedridden for 3 months, I had to have constant care and my hospital bills went through the roof!

Thank goodness, I found a good referral site to help me.

I will post more later this month to tell you more about what I have been going through.

If you need an personal injury lawyer try the guys at
