Somebody needs to tell Mike Green that dipping snuff is a bad habit.

He thinks they’re bacon bits.

it’s really a shame, both AO and greenie. anyone else on the team do it?

Eh, chalk it up to a male bravado thing. A lot of the pilots in my old squadron would dip while they flew, often without a spit bottle.

Other than the obvious cancer and cat shit breath it gives you, I don’t think it would affect their conditioning too much. I wouldn’t be suprised if the coaches dipped either.

A ton of hockey players dip. I know some guys that dip while they play.

One guy just drove his semi as a float. I guess semis are cool.

Probably most of them. :: sigh ::

I may have been the only guy on my HS lacrosse team that didn’t dip. One of my buddies was so addicted to the stuff that [warning: if you just ate, you may not want to finish this sentence] he got to the point where he didn’t even spit any more – just swallowed the juice.

Be thankful that you never picked up the habit b/c it’s an absolute bitch to quit. As far as 52’s concerned, maybe it’ll prevent him from gaining 29 lbs this season!

I was the only one on my hockey team as well. Nasty, nasty stuff.

Yeah I tried the whole “no-spitting” technique once, and I ran into a grocery store bathroom and puked. It’s only for seasoned veterans.

ps. I think Ovie does it too.

dip is banned at NCAA events. The only athlete I know of to be sanctioned during my college years…….a softball player!

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
