A lot of words have been used to describe Sean Avery over the years. "Boring" has never been one of them.
Throughout his 580-game NHL career that spanned four teams, 10 seasons and many more rounds of controversy, Avery was perhaps the most colorful and maligned player of his generation.
Four years after the former New York Ranger retired at the age of 31 and proclaimed that he disposed of his skates in the Hudson River, Avery's proclivity for being interesting hasn't slowed down.
In a recent conversation, Avery detailed his newest pursuits -- everything from real estate dealings in The Hamptons, selling the life rights about his time interning at Vogue Magazine to a film production company and working on an autobiography (co-authored by Michael McKinley) that he intends to be hockey's version of Ball Four -- and shared some opinions on pertinent issues in today's hockey.
