Hockey players do everything short of make sweet, metallic love to the Stanley Cup in the weeks that follow the finals, and apparently Mario Lemieux and the Penguins are no exception.  These pictures come from a Stanley Cup party at Mario Lemiuex’s fantastic house, with a tiny pool.  I understand the team was almost bankrupt a few years back, but now that the team is back on it’s feet he should probably spring for a pool that can hold more than 9 people:

I’m just surpised they weren’t using it as a kickboard in team swimming competitions.  I guess this sort of celebration isn’t that out of the ordinary.  I heard last week that Trevor Ariza was using the Larry O’Brien trophy to go oppo at the softball batting cage.  And of course, who could forget those tense hours waiting for Casey Hampton to emerge from the bathroom after he accidentally ate the Vince Lombardi trophy  Carry on Mario, I apologize.

This is reason #45,693 why I love the way they do things in Europe. Chelsea just beat the Turkish Champion Fenerbahce to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League. To celebrate, several Chelsea players decided to paint the town red. The partied with two attractive women from the UK’s Big Brother. If there were ever women who could be classified as jersey chaser, I believe these women would fit the bill:

But these pictures were not the most impressive of the night. Here is ex-Chelsea goalie (now with Millwall), Lenny Pidgeley, who came to celebrate with his ex-teammates, being literally pulled out of the club:

This is fricken gold, can you imagine this happening in the United States. Matt Leinhart helps a co-ed do a beerbong and the whole world is up in arms. Imagine if this was one of our non-descript American athletes. Let’s say Royals Catcher John Buck was being thrown out, it would be national news. Hell, it could be Cuttino Mobley being thrown out. Although Cuttino is one of the leagues’ strongest guards, so he would be a little tougher to handle than the bloke above.

Here is another one from a few weeks earlier, after Tottenham won the Carling Cup:

That intoxicated man is Tottenham captain Ledley King, after getting into a fight, leaving the scene of another fight trying to get back in the bar. Why doesn’t this happen in America? How great would it be to have pictures of that Stephen Jackson fracas where he fired a gun in the air to “difuse the situation,” only to he hit by a car seconds later.
I love British people.
