The 71-year old Hockey Hall of Famer was approached by The Toronto Sun’s Steve Simmons recently because two of the teams Esposito formally played for, the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Blackhawks, are currently facing each other in the Stanley Cup Final. Esposito’s fame was mostly cemented during his time with Boston, when as a member of Bobby Orr’s “big bad Bruins” he won two Stanley Cups, led the league in scoring multiple times, and twice won the Hart Trophy for the league’s most valuable player. His brother, Tony Esposito, was a star goaltender for the Chicago Blackhawks, and it seemed like a natural story to get the siblings’ takes on the franchises that made them household names.

Then Phil spouted out with this nonsense…

“You want to know the truth,” Esposito, 71, the fifth-leading goal scorer in NHL history, told the Toronto Sun’s Steve Simmons in a story published Tuesday. “This series doesn’t mean s— to me.
“I have no feeling for these teams. There’s nothing emotional about it. They both got rid of me, traded me. So screw them.

You have no feeling for these teams?

“Screw” the Boston Bruins?

Sir, as a lifelong fan of the Boston Bruins, I can tell you with complete certainty that while you may have “no feeling” for the Boston Bruins, the fans of that team certainly have feelings for you. Two cups, hundreds of goals, and great on-ice moments aside, one of the most memorable moments in Boston Bruins, if not NHL history, was the emotional ceremony when your number seven jersey was retired. And I don’t need to remind you that the player who was wearing number seven at the time was none other than Hockey Hall of Famer Ray Bourque, arguably the second greatest Bruin of all time. That guy handed you your number seven and said the following words:

“This is yours big guy, and its always been yours. It never should have been anyone else’s.”

Then he peeled off the jersey he was wearing to reveal a #77, which he wore throughout his career, and was later retired in both Boston and Colorado. No Bruin has worn number seven since, and do you know why? FOR YOU.

“Screw” the Bruins?

THIS means nothing?

What an amazingly ungrateful prick.

By the way, this isn’t the first time Espo has shot off his mouth against the fans that made him a star.  In 2011, when Boston was playing the  Tampa Bay Lightning on their way to their first Stanley Cup since #7 won it for them in 1972, the classless blowhard came out strong in favor of Tampa Bay.  Yes, to be fair, he had helped found the Florida NHL franchise, but he certainly didn’t mince any words while talking to the Fox Tampa Bay Affiliate. His exact words were that he “could give one damn about Boston.”

And you know what? He’s a grown up. He’s allowed to not like Boston. Phil Esposito may have some personal beef with the Bruins organization that I don’t know about and is completely legit, but he didn’t have to air his dirty laundry in public and insult his fans.  How hard would it have been to say “You know what? I’m a Tampa guy now, and that’s where my rooting interest lies in this one, but if it doesn’t go our way, and the great fans in Boston who cheered me and supported me during my playing career were to get another Stanley Cup, well I’d sure be happy for them.”

Or, he could have could just said this: “no comment.”

But Phil Esposito didn’t say no comment and he didn’t conduct himself with class, and he has now gone out of his way to insult a city and a fanbase who supported him, cheered him and made him rich and famous.

Twice.

If he really doesn’t “give one damn about Boston” and he really thinks this series “doesn’t mean s__t” well then maybe it’s time to lower that #7 back down from the rafters. There’s a pretty good rookie on the Boston Bruins right how named Torey Krug who wears the number 47.

And the way Phil Esposito is talking, as a Bruins fan, I’d be just as happy if they ripped off that four.

Check out this new original video written by and starring NYC based comedians Joe Klein, Mike Cannon, Anthony Devito, Doug Smith, Matt Wayne, and Joel Walkowski in which they prank call each other’s girlfriends.

And I know what you’re thinking — comedians have girlfriends?

As it happens, no. Well, some of them do, but after this we’re not sure how long they’ll keep them. Keep watching through the 4:00 minute mark to see one of the guys crank-calling his mom.

You heard me.

By the way, if you think you’re going to receive an explanation as to why these two potatoes are named Andrew and Terrance, you clearly aren’t familiar with Gallo’s work.

He’s a mess.

Grapes has appeared on this blog before, voicing his passionate support for Michael Vick, which by the way, was also a disgrace.

This is awful.

Pull it together Grapes, I’m ashamed of you.

Here’s a Vine of the horrible incident.

Embarrassing.

Why so many? Not sure if it had anything to do with a Park Ranger’s report that she had “removed all her clothing and was being physically restrained by her companions.”

I’m 39 years old, and you know what I look like with my shirt off?

I look like this.

I’m not saying that Taylor Powers is lucky, but if a 911 call came in that same day reporting that Ritch Duncan is high on mushrooms and in distress on a mountain, the headline in the Huffington Post is going to read “Chubby Naked Bald Man Takes Mushrooms, Dies Horribly on Mountain.”

After the jump, check out how the crowd reacts as the young son of Chelsea goaltender Ross Turnbull starts playfully kicking a ball towards the net during the post-game speeches of the final match of the season:

Of course, had this taken place in front of a QPR crowd, have no doubt this kid would have been booed off the field, had his name worked into filthy chants, and a paper-mâché version of him would be burned in effigy.  And that’s just for starters.

Finally, I have an answer.

Pause the video at the :21 second mark, and look closely.

I know this because I just went to YouTube and searched for “Donkey Eating.” As an interesting side note, I have health insurance.

Anyway, drink deep of this collection of idiots feeding donkeys people food, along with the wonderful things they say out loud. I know you’re busy, so should you want to skip right to the hot, donkey-eating action, I’ve also included the time-coded moment of initial consumption.

Enjoy!

I mean I know you know the number, but do really understand it?

If taking one step covers say, three feet of ground, 168 million steps would be enough to walk all the way to the moon and back agai- wait, scratch that, I just did the math. It’d be enough to walk like-  halfway to the mo- OH FORGET IT. What I’m saying is, holy crap this Mickey Mouse video by They Might Be Giants has been watched a lot of times.

If all your friends jumped off a bridge while watching this video would you watch it too?

DO IT.

Cmon, I’m just basically telling you that you have to watch this because a whole mob of people already watched it, and let’s be honest, when have mobs ever been wrong?

Just watch it, you know you want to.

Several of my close male friends and I gathered to play a round of golf and afterwards, we had some bracingly cold diet root beers while telling ribald jokes at my expense! We thought about getting steaks but passed because that’s a LOT of red meat. I will tell you, if that night was a movie, some of the salty language and situations we got ourselves into very well might have earned us a HARD PG-13 rating!

That being said, I wouldn’t even call it a bachelor party. I mean, where’s the fun to be had without our wives and girlfriends along anyway? And I didn’t want a lot of excessive drinking, or strippers. That stuff is gross, demeaning and a waste of money. Plus, if you drink a lot, I’m told you could wake up up with one WHOPPER of a headache! If that’s what being a party animal is all about this is one chicken who prefers his coop! Luckily, we were all in bed by midnight, (11 Central!) and a swell time was had by all.

I can tell you what didn’t happen…

We definitely didn’t hang out on the highway harassing passing vehicles, handcuff a little person to my arm all night, get into barfight with Canadian mounties and Hell’s Angels, have several of my friends die in an alligator attack, drive our car off a cliff, shoot each other with stun guns, or have a fully naked woman launch herself off the top of a stripper pole, and land directly on my bladder.

Because that would be a DISASTER.

If you’re interested in reading about some of those actual, real-life, final-night-o’-freedom catastrophes, check our our photo gallery, BIGGEST BACHELOR PARTY DISASTERS.

Just know that NONE of those things happened at mine.

OK- I have a teensy confession to make.

Some of that root beer wasn’t diet.

Love you,  honey.
