Sean Avery will no longer be tossed out of New York nightspots or intern at Manhattan magazines, as the fighting forward is headed to Texas.
The CBC reports that the Dallas Stars have signed Avery to a 4-year, $16 million dollar deal. So, what will the Stars be getting for their money?
As long as hockey is still sort-of on the minds of the sporting public (thanks to some spectacular Stanley Cup games between the Pens & Red Wings), EA Sports figured the time was right to announce the cover boy for their upcoming “NHL 09″ game.
And the winner is: Calgary Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf.
Casual sports fans outside of southern Alberta may not know much about Dion, but they’re sure to know his current gal pal:
Alluring actress Elisha Cuthbert.
Guess Tom Brady doesn’t have it so great, after all. The Pats QB lost his chance at perfection. ESPN has it in for him & his team. But worse of all - he’s not even dating one of the world’s 100 hottest women.
(That’s right, Gisele - hang your head in shame)
The BOSTON HERALD’S INSIDE TRACK uncovers the shameful news that Brady’s babe Gisele Bundchen didn’t make the cut for this year’s Maxim Hot 100. (So, that’s why Derek Jeter never hooked up with her.)
With this disappointing revelation, along with the ongoing Spygate stuff, could this week get any worse for poor ol’ Tom?
Well, if Gissie wasn’t jiggy wit’ Maxim, just who was? (With pics even!)

AVERY DENIES MAKING FUN OF PLAYER BATTLING CANCER: Hockey tough guy and stick enthusiast Sean Avery is taking off the gloves in his most vicious fight yet - he’s suing a Toronto radio reporter for libel:

The NEW YORK POST skates over the news that the Rangers winger denies making pre-game comments about a Maple Leafs player suffering from cancer.
Howard Berger of The FAN 590 reported that during warmups, Avery made remarks about Jason Blake’s battle with leukemia. Leafs teammate Darcy Tucker didn’t appreciate the words, and went after Avery. The two were separated but later fought it out in the 1st period.
WAY OFFSIDE slides over video of both the in-game and pre-game fisticuffs between Avery and Tucker:
Despite the threat of legal action, Berger says he stands by his reporting.

All of this, just because Elisha Cuthbert dumped poor ol’ Sean. Well, he can always comfort himself in his lovely cashmere throw.
