Case you’re wondering why the L.A. Kings dumped Sean Avery, Maxim Magazine, in a Q & A with the big mouthed moron, provides a plethora of reasons. Maxim: "Who is L.A. sports’ most eligible bachelor?" Avery: "I don’t know. We never see any of the baseball players, so I don’t think they are doing anything. Kobe is married. Luke Walton is trying to have game, but I don’t think he does. Matt Leinart, maybe. These guys need to take advantage of it a little more."Maxim: "You’re known as a partyer. Ever show up to practice hung over?" Avery: "Yeah. That’s part of what being an athlete is. If you burn the candle at both ends, you gotta be able to do it at work. I’m young enough and in good enough shape. Not a lot of people work in L.A., and there are a lot of parties." Maxim: "Are there other guys you get pumped to face?" Avery: "There are a few guys on Anaheim I would really like to do a number on. I’m not a big fan of Andy McDonald. He’s an arrogant little midget who would never back up anything he says in his life."Maxim: "Anybody you’re afraid of?"Avery: "Uh, no. There’s some pretty scary girls that work the door in L.A., at the clubs."
