Welp, if nothing else, I'm glad that both Chrissy Teigen and Ryan Miller went to sleep last night having learned a valuable lesson life lesson that was foreign to them when they woke up yesterday morning. Hockey fans, much like celebrity stans, are quite insecure when it comes to having the work of those they admire even slightly diminished. What reads to me as two public figures engaging in some witty, sarcastic banter almost certainly felt like a second-hand stab to the backs of the most self-important and close-minded supporters of both hockey and modeling. I can't imagine what would have to go through one's head to view this exchange as anything other than wholeheartedly humorous. However, as a seasoned veteran of dealing with the uncomfortably devoted defenders of all things puck, I have a hard time ever finding myself surprised by how laughably easy it is trigger their inferiority complex. Something tells me those that "can't even" whenever their girl Chrissy tweets, well, just about anything are equally as defensive, so let's clear some things up for both of them... Chrissy Teigen, having just given birth to her second child in three years, does not truly believe that years of fighting off John Legend groupies has properly prepared her to stack the pads and deflect aside high-speed vulcanized rubber. Ryan Miller, having devoted his scrawny frame to a long career in the most thankless position in sports, does not truly believe that his skinny face and extended forehead are merely a touch of bronzing oil and some forgiving lighting away from gracing the cover of Men's Health. So, before we get into a debate about playing through injuries or the perplexities of posing, can we all just agree to crap on basketball instead?
