Gary Roberts Can Slam a Revolving Door

I heard something very disturbing earlier this week and I feel the need to share.  Do you remember the creative and incredibly hilarious Gary Roberts jokes?

Sure…you remember.  For example…the grass is always greener on the other side. that is, unless gary roberts has been on the other side. in that case, the grass is most likely the color of blood and tears…There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Gary Roberts allows to live.

I guess they aren’t so much jokes as statements.  Most people also attribute these to Chuck Norris.

Here is the disturbing part.  I’m not sure how many readers are baseball fans, any Pirates fans willing to admit it?, but the Cincinnati Reds have an outfielder named Johnny Gomes who is earning a cult following.  Living in Reds territory, it is enough to make me sick.  Having been to a few games this year, I have witnessed the Gomes fandom first hand.

A colleague of mine went to a Reds game last week and people in the stands were sharing Gary Roberts statements but inserting Johnny Gomes instead.  Gomes is a lunatic but he has never thrown fistacuffs to my knowledge.  Second, how could any baseball player, save Bill Madlock of course, deserve to be aligned with these kick-ass comments.

My question to the P-Lab community.  Do any current Penguins deserve the honor of having bad-ass jokes/statements created in their honor?  If not, is there another player in the NHL who a Penguin fan would be willing to bestow this honor upon?

the grass is always greener on the other side. that is, unless gary roberts has been on the other side. in that case, the grass is most likely the color of blood and tears.
