Sean Avery Working on Autobiography

ESPN.com: Throughout your career, you had the reputation of being a bit of a trash talker on the ice. How did you decide who you were going to target and what you were going to say?

Avery: I obviously did my homework on guys and found sensitive areas.

Specific instances are all over this book. S— talking was a big part of my DNA as a player.
