Matthew Barnaby Gets 500 Hours of Community Service
Matthew Barnaby, the ESPN hockey analyst who was arrested in May following a domestic dispute with his estranged wife, has been ordered by a State Supreme Court Justice to complete 500 hours of community service. Following his arrest, Barnaby plead not guilty to all charges, and was “suspended” by ESPN. (I put suspended in quotes because it’s not officially called that – he was just taken off the air for two weeks, like everyone else after they’re arrested.)
According to the Associated Press:
As part of Barnaby’s plea agreement, misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief and aggravated harassment will be dropped if he fulfills the order within a year.
Barnaby has agreed to anger management counseling, and he also has to stay away from his estranged wife’s boyfriend. The best line in this fiasco comes courtesy of Barnaby’s lawyer: “He beat up a garage door.” [Buffalo News]

Here’s your hockey post, people. Go crazy.

Let’s hijack it to discuss the Swedish forward with the umlaut in her last name.

What did Matthew Barnaby say to the chick with 2 black eyes?

Nothing he hadn’t already told her twice.

I have to think this tweet was about him

You ever think you know someone and it turns out they’re the biggest loser of all?! Life can be a bummer..but another door opens!

I saw that too…. has to be about him, right? It would be funny if it were about Cowherd though.

i still have a few hours of community service undone in idaho, from 1985/86
/on the run
July 6th, 2011 at 2:52 PM
And I hope that other door opening means she is now dating that stud Josh Elliot
July 6th, 2011 at 2:54 PM
Can’t imagine the massive amounts of tail that guy has been pulling in recently.
July 6th, 2011 at 2:54 PM
you should’ve taken off the scuba mask after the pressure was equalized?

So he was playing “hide the sausage” with Beadle while married? Classy on both parts.

I think he can do a tad better than Sarah, Plain and Short.
July 6th, 2011 at 2:59 PM
haha. Well played.
July 6th, 2011 at 2:59 PM
Uh oh, PK for Sweden.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:01 PM
I believe the word is “butterface”

You’re mean, CJ.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:01 PM
Yeah I don’t know why I’m watching women’s soccer either.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:03 PM
What did I do?
July 6th, 2011 at 3:03 PM
Solo read that pretty well. Unlucky.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:03 PM
Its’ ok, I am too. Justify it by saying you’re being patriotic because it’s the USA.

That was an unexpectedly disturbing Google Images search.

Cheney has been having a great WC so far, but she really needs to finish better.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:04 PM
Let me know if they do an interview with the other coach at halftime…pretty sure it should sound like this
July 6th, 2011 at 3:05 PM
It’s noon here, lunch time.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:05 PM
I have a job that allows me to watch TV on my computer, especially when it is sports.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:06 PM
of course…how else would i be commenting here all day?

Jayson Werth:
In the seventh year of that contract he’ll look back and see a couch cushion.
/a really expensive couch cushion though
July 6th, 2011 at 3:06 PM
I dont think Id ever be that bored with my day that I start streaming womens soccer on my computer
July 6th, 2011 at 3:07 PM
That Swedish goalie has horpes
July 6th, 2011 at 3:07 PM
Uh, no actually…but thanks for the break from this distraction to refocus on the reality of the situation
/Runs away crying
July 6th, 2011 at 3:08 PM
Well I am!
/runs away crying
July 6th, 2011 at 3:08 PM
To be fair, what the fuck else is there to watch right now?
July 6th, 2011 at 3:08 PM
If that tweet was indeed about Barnaby, Beadle just fell down the rankings. Airing your dirty laundry in front of 297,242 people ain’t cool, Beads.
ESPN could use some new hockey blood. If they covered the sport, that is.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:09 PM
You are a communist, aren’t you? It’s the freaking USA in the World Cup, it’s not like it’s a women’s college soccer division game.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:09 PM
I was bored enough with my days last summer to watch men’s soccer, pretty much the same thing so far as I can tell
July 6th, 2011 at 3:09 PM
Werth is right, though, the future seems bright for the Natinals

They need to replace Barnaby with Paul Kariya, like, stat.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:10 PM
I’m watching the Brewers and the D’Backs.

+1, which is enough to win the, uh… pitch? match? whatever they call a game of soccer
July 6th, 2011 at 3:11 PM
If I was at home, sure I might swing by it. But I dunno, it would have to be really effing important for me to stream live sporting events on my computer.. that happens every day and I’m sure either the IT police will swing by or someone would notice.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:11 PM
I don’t know what it is about Hope Solo, but I want to do very bad things to her
July 6th, 2011 at 3:11 PM
Even I don’t possess the jingoism to watch that.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:12 PM
Truth.
Honestly, the Nats are going to be kinda scary in a few years. The Harper/Rendon/Espinosa/Werth/Desmond/Ramos core can be pretty damn good.
/we will take bets on Harper becoming a Yankee starting next year
July 6th, 2011 at 3:12 PM
It’s a match, the pitch is what they call the field
July 6th, 2011 at 3:13 PM
You don’t appear to be the only one seeing as how when you type “Hope Solo” into Google right now the first auto-complete option is “Hope Solo boyfriend.”
July 6th, 2011 at 3:14 PM
this right here. She’s hawt.
July 6th, 2011 at 3:14 PM
That’s my cousin!
/not really, just the same last name

I’ve been dropping a /team hope solo since this tourney started, you fuckers have 10 other girls to pick.

There’s a chick named Boxx on the national team? That’s pretty awesome.

Well that was unfortunate

Listen here guy. I would give Hope Solo a “commercial.”

////Best 2 minutes of her life

Awesome, that deflection came off the same chick that gave up the penalty.
