Overreaction on YET another minor story. So am I the only one who wouldn't be doing the same thing as Patrick Kane is doing? If I had score the winning goal in the Stanley Cup (hit a game winning HR in the WS, etc, etc) I woud be trying to break Wilt Chamberlain's off the court record in one night. Come on folk, let the kid run through he version of hood rats, and enjoy himself.

 

I'd like to think I'd at least be a little cool about and not sloppily stampeding around like a white trash monster constantly on the verge of date rape.

 

How about when you were 21?

21 doesn't automatically mean = white trashy rape monster.

 

Look, it's great that the Blackhawks won and that Kane is such a good young player, but isn't it obvious that he's a raging douchebag along the lines of the frattiest frat boy that ever fratted?

 

I'm not going to pretend like I was a saint or not an idiot at 21, but Kane just strikes me as pretty ridiculous, even for a professional athlete that young.

Right. I'm not saying the guy shouldn't have his fun. He should nail hundreds of women this summer. Two per night. At least. But he should try to show just a little bit of class when he knows the cameras are on him.

A guy who celebrates a Stanley Cup win by partying and hoping to score chicks doesn't equal rape monster. Seriously, that's some dumbass crap coming out of you. Why is any white guy who has a good time a frat boy rapist?

He seems like every 21 year old party fiend I ever went to college with. The difference is, none of them had a Stanley Cup to tote around.

 

As long as he keep doing his job well, I don't care what he does with his off time.

Well, I made it pretty clear that Kane stuck out in is behavior even compared to very young professional athletes, so I obviously wasn't declaring "any white guy who has a good time to be a frat boy rapist," you you go off and enjoy that insane tangent on your own. It's not my problem if you can't/won't wrap your head around obvious hyperbole.

 

To me, there's a difference between a young athlete enjoying his fame and getting laid left and right as opposed to being such an obvious sleaze as Kane seems to revel in being coupled with the excessively stupid [expletive] he keeps showing that he loves to do with absolutely no thought to the consequences. As much as some people want to act like he's just a random 21-year-old, he's not.

What is the excessively stupid [expletive] he keeps showing that he loves to do? Where are these consequences? Cameras are following him everywhere. We saw him shirtless in a limo a few months ago. He got in an altercation with a cabbie a year ago (I've been in a few of those, cabbies are scum) and now he's been drunk in a parade and laughing and smiling and dancing and talking about hoping chicks dig him. Where is the excessively stupid stuff? With all these cameras they should have caught something excessively stupid. Is he raping chicks in toilets? Is he surfing down a highway on a pickup truck?

 

Talk about overly conservative.

How am I being "overly conservative?" Where did I say that someone needs to do something about him or he should be stopped? I just think he comes across like an idiot, especially when he plays with so many other young players who somehow manage to not come across the same way. Maybe they're just lucky, or I missed it, I don't know. I'm not a hockey fan, so I don't follow these guys too closely, but nearly everything that I've picked up on with Kane paints him to be the kind of jerk off who thinks Entourage is some kind of bible and is on the fast track to Roethlisberger-ville. I have no idea why you're getting so worked up over someone thinking Kane comes across like an idiot. Why do I HAVE to like him?

What's wrong with a young, rich celebrity thinking Entourage is some kind of Bible? Seems like a pretty sweet lifestyle to me.

 

And LOL @ "Roethlisberger-ville"

Forget Kane; I want to hear the details of the multiple fights that jersey has been in with cabbies, because that is kind of bonkers.

 

Yeah seriously. Some cabbies are dickheads, but never to the point where I've considered assaulting one.

Posted

Once all the news came out about the incident, I think it's clear the cabbie crossed a line and I'm not all that upset that Kane and/or his cousin punched him. You can't just lock people into your cab.

 

But the first news to break is always the part that sticks in people's minds, not the details that come out later.

Not really a fight. One cabbie took us from LGA to the upper west side via one of the lower manhattan tunnels or bridges, can't remember, when you should take the triboro bridge. It was normally a $14 ride and I'd give the guy $18. Well this one was nearly $20 more, not to mention twice as much time, and I kept asking why he was taking us that way. So when we arrived I gave my girlfriend her bag and told her to walk away. Then I took my bag, handed the guy $15 and said you fucked up, deal with it. He followed me to the building kept getting in my face screaming and yelling and I pushed him away. Another time a cabbie got into a virtual bumper car fight with another cabbie and I made him stop and got out without paying and he tried to fight me. Last week in San Diego on two seperate pedi-cab rides, another pedi-cab driver tried to fight our driver because he felt he stole his fare, and our guy escalated the second one so I hopped off. Most cabbies are great, but plenty of them are scum. One down the shore tried to molest a drunk girl I know.

 

 

Regardless, there's a huge gulf between partying and trying to get laid and a [expletive] rapist.

 

Nothing that we have seen Kane do is wrong, even if it looks embarrassing.

That was pretty boring, though it's kinda weird you've been in so many cabbie-related altercations. Oh well.

 

I've been in and around NYC for 16 years now, and used to take a lot of cabs.

Posted
I guess it's an NYC thing? I've taken a ton of cabs in DC and here in Chicago.

 

I don't know, maybe. I have noticed the Chicago cabbies I've had have generally been less prone to angry outbursts. Never been in one in DC. NY cabbies are notorious for screwing you over with the routes they take, so when you call them out on it they freak out.

DC cabbies were notorious for over-charging. The city had this silly zone system where the cost of the ride was based on how many zones you crossed. Well, you can imagine how this was abused.

Definitely. I call out cabbies all the time both here and when I lived in DC for taking bad routes. Maybe jersey's just got bad luck.

Well that was a while ago. Most cab rides I take now are either flat rate (in hoboken) or pre-negotiated from manhattan to jersey, or to airport, so it's not really an issue.
