Afternoon Drive with Jeff & Carly

Leaf rookie Jiri Tlusty distinguished himself a few weeks ago by scoring twice in his very first NHL game, but it’s his attempts to score off the ice that have recently garnered attention.  The Czech-born player sent nude photos of himself to a woman he met online and of course those pictures, as well as the one above, have turned up on the Internet.  I’m not sure about his English, but clearly Jiri has already mastered the French tongue!

The Leafs brass, as well as most sports personalities, have rallied behind him, blaming his youth and naivete for the indiscreet shots and saying we should cut him some slack (or was that “slacks” so he can cover up?).  Wade Belak offered that he’s been known to take out the trash naked sometimes.  Yes, we all make mistakes, particularly foolish ones when we’re young, but there’s a difference between being caught with your pants down and purposely dropping your pants and taking shots with your camera phone, hoping to impress someone with your Surewood, I mean, Sherwood.  By all means, be risque, but keep in mind there’s a very important “L” in the term “public figure”.
