Alot of people dislike Sidney simply because the NHL, Versus, and NBC take every opportunity to tell you about him. They strip away any modesty he may have. Its like when you are around a parent who always has to tell you how HIS kid is in the honor roll, or HIS kid is soooooo good at hockey… even though you don’t know his kid, you start to dislike him. The media loves Crosby, and the NHL wants him to be the new Great One. As long as the media and the NHL continue to try to force Crosby onto the fans, he won’t be accepted. Gretzky was the Great One because he had skill, he was respectful, and most importantly, because the fans didn’t need anyone to tell them why he was so good.

Ahaha, I’m sorry i find this note a little funny.
I am a Crosby fan, and he has talent. But i get what you say. (i have the same hatred for other players in other sports) I am with you on what you write in the first column! Its annoying to see him, and listen to people praise him all the time. He is a great player, but there are other good players in the NHL (they might not be as young) with as much talent, and they are still worth mentioning!

I’m not agreeing with the rest, but you know what, have some sense of humor and just laugh. (that was not meant for you, that was me thinking).
And writing something shitty about you, doesn’t make the world OR this note better (not that the not was bad).
and at least you have something to support your hatred, a lot of people don’t. ;P

And to the person above! Spelling doesn’t make a difference, it happens! Just because you HAD to find SOMETHING, because something, you didn’t like, was said about Crosby! Man Up Nancy! Its JUST a note!

Spelling mistakes fixed; sober again. I was going to fix your capitalization and punctuation mistakes for you, Joe, but felt your point is best made in all lowercase letters in run on sentences.

Jealous? Nah. He’s a great hockey player, which is not something I aspire to be. Read it again and you’ll notice that I don’t actually ding Sid the Kid for anything but being a whiner. (Something his fellow players say about him as well. Perhaps they’re the jealous ones?) The rest of the blame falls on the league and its marketing debacle.

“Every facet of life?” Really? You sound like you want to make breakfast for Sidney in the morning.

P.S. I had to work hard not to refer to him as “Cindy Crosby” throughout this entire post.

you sound jealous and angry of a man who is better than you will ever be in every facet of life. ps your inconsistency with spelling sidney/sydney makes it unclear whether you’re trying to ridicule him. it’s not helping your cause.
