Around SBN: NFL Week One: Previews and Predictions for all 15 games

"New York Islanders defenceman Brendan Witt was hit by a car in Philadelphia on Tuesday, according to Newsday. But Witt reportedly picked himself up off the road and, after a few profanities, assured everyone he was all right before continuing on his way, prompting one witness to say, "it was like seeing Clint Eastwood, but in hockey." — TSN

I wonder if the car was reckless or dirty?

"After the Cold War, the AK-47 became Russia's biggest export. After that came vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists (and a couple good hockey players)."

Daniel Carcillo was taken in for questioning.

My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.

oh my god! That’s so hockey though, complete with the cursing. Glad Witt is all right.

Hah, the better part of the quote is this:

“I’m okay,” Witt told the crowd as he dusted himself off, according to Newsday. “I’ve got to go play some hockey. I’m a hockey player. I’m okay. No big deal.”

That’s so bad ass. I’ve got to go play some hockey.

They call him nightmare...

Yeah the article title deceived me before I posted my joke pic =\

Hockey players aren't like other people. Witt after being hit by a car:
It's OK...I'm OK...I’ve got to go play some hockey.

Just goes to prove that Saskatchewan is tougher the Yukon.

Also, I wonder if he gets signed by Brian Burke in the off season for his truckulence.

I salute both of these corny jokes. Made me laugh.

Can Brooks Laich compete with that?

The truck would have stopped itself in fear.
