I promise SA国际影视传媒� no more tales of woe about lottery wins I didnSA国际影视传媒檛 get. ISA国际影视传媒檝e got something better to open things up this week.

Some guy decided to open the emergency exit on a United Airlines flight that had landed in the morning hours of May 5 in Chicago. According to the airline, the flight had just landed from San Diego and the impatient passenger, weSA国际影视传媒檒l call him, left his seat, popped the door open and slid down that inflatable slide we see in movies where planes are in danger. He was placed into the care of authorities following the stunt but letSA国际影视传媒檚 just be thankful it wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 a repeat of the clown who thought it would be cool to hop up onto the wing of a United jet while showing us all his shortcomings.

Anyway:

Oh, they need it

Part of going to a sporting event is the chance to enjoy some refreshments while watching. DoesnSA国际影视传媒檛 matter what it is SA国际影视传媒� we always make our way to the snack bar or concession because thatSA国际影视传媒檚 what our mind is trained to do.

Of course, it gets more expensive when itSA国际影视传媒檚 a professional sporting event and worse when weSA国际影视传媒檙e talking about the Toronto Maple Leafs. If you have a second mortgage, youSA国际影视传媒檒l find it goes a long way when it comes to going to a home game at Scotiabank Arena. So imagine my total lack of stunned-ness when a survey was released showing just how much Leafs fans love their beer. When youSA国际影视传媒檙e a Leafs fan, you have to drink copious amounts simply because, well, itSA国际影视传媒檚 the Leafs. Not like thereSA国际影视传媒檚 going to be a Stanley Cup victory to talk about.

The survey in question was released by time2play, an outfit based in Indiana, and it took a look at how much booze the average fan consumed during the course of a hockey game. To do that, the company talked to 1,584 fans in both Canada and the U.S. and when the science was done, it found that not only do Leafs fans drink the most beers per game SA国际影视传媒� four SA国际影视传媒� they spend the most per game on average at $58.50 per person. Who drinks the least? New York Rangers fans with barely two. Now, thereSA国际影视传媒檚 something to be said about that because with the cost of living in Manhattan higher than Cheech and Chong hotbox, itSA国际影视传媒檚 understandable that there would be barely any disposable income left for a Coors Light.

Congrats, Leafs fans! You did it! You reached the top of self-lubrication.

This is nice

Now, I canSA国际影视传媒檛 be totally negative with this column. I mean, some nice things still happen in this world, right?

Take what happened at the SkyDome (weSA国际影视传媒檝e been through this before SA国际影视传媒� yes, I know itSA国际影视传媒檚 the Rogers Centre but ITSA国际影视传媒橲 THE DOME!) on May 3. New York Yankees are visiting the Toronto Blue Jays. Yankees superstar Aaron Judge hits a home run into the left-field stands. A Jays fan by the name of Mike Lanzillota manages to snag the souvenir. Beside him is Derek Rodriguez, a young Yankees fan decked out in Judge gear. Without skipping a beat, Lanzillota hands the ball to Rodriguez, who breaks down instantly.

But thatSA国际影视传媒檚 not all.

Judge found out about what happened and invited both Lanzillota and Rodriguez down to the Yankees dugout prior to the next nightSA国际影视传媒檚 game. Rodriguez was once again in tars because now, heSA国际影视传媒檚 meeting the man who he obviously idolizes. LanzilottaSA国际影视传媒檚 reaction? He stands off to the side and lets Rodriguez have all the fun.

See, kids? The little things are still appreciated by the world and let me just say that ISA国际影视传媒檓 not shocked by JudgeSA国际影视传媒檚 reaction. HeSA国际影视传媒檚 the kind of player who talks to the fans, doesnSA国际影视传媒檛 treat them like serfs and he actually looked like he was enjoying the whole thing. Well done to you all.

And finally SA国际影视传媒�

Good Idea: Auctioning off sports memorabilia.

Bad Idea: Auctioning off Diego MaradonaSA国际影视传媒檚 SA国际影视传媒楬and of GodSA国际影视传媒� jersey.

The late, great Diego Maradona was one of the best to ever play the game of soccer. HeSA国际影视传媒檚 also remembered for scoring now of the most infamous goals in the history of the sport.

The 1986 World Cup in Mexico is where Maradona became a household name and his SA国际影视传媒済oalSA国际影视传媒� in the semifinal versus England that year is the stuff of legends. It was the first of his two goals in that contest that became talked about, a goal he described as SA国际影视传媒渁 little from the head of Maradona, and a little with the hand of GodSA国际影视传媒�. Replays clearly showed that Maradona punched the ball over England goalkeeper Peter Shilton and got away with it.

Welp, the jersey he wore that day has now become the richest piece of sports memorabilia ever bought after an unknown buyer paid $11.3 million for it in an online auction May 4. Steve Hodge, the England player who traded jerseys with Maradona following the game, had loaned it out to the National Football Museum in Manchester, England for years but finally decided to part with it. The now-second-highest price paid for a piece of history was $8.8 million for a manifesto that launched the modern Olympic movement. ThatSA国际影视传媒檚 $8.8 million more than necessary.

Anyway, Hodge is now set for the rest of his life and someone just made a very good investment because it will only increase in value. See, Leafs fans? ThatSA国际影视传媒檚 how you spend money the right way.

Until next time, folks SA国际影视传媒�
