The Atlanta Thrashers have signed Chris Chelios, 48, and plan to keep him for now at their AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves where he has a plus-35 rating. After that, "You never know," Thrashers GM Don Waddell said.
What is Chelios doing with his life? He has become a sideshow attraction these days. The P.A. announcer for the Chicago Wolves should give the Barnum and Bailey intro when they introduce him before each game, "Step right up ladies and gentleman and feast your eyes on the one and only skating dinosaur!". Christ, the guy has become a real life Reggie Dunlop from Slapshot, bouncing around in the depths of minor league hockey. Fuckin embarrassing. The first time Cheli had to get on a bus and ride to Scranton he should have reevaluated his life immediately. My advice to him, hang it up while you still have a shred of dignity left and go make me some chili. You don't wanna end up like Joe Namath riding the pine for the LA Rams or like Willie Mays falling all over himself in the outfield for the NY Mets. You need to go out on top. Like I did after hitting .489 with 37 stolen bases in Little League.
