I actually though it was pretty funny ... I wonder how many people chirp him riding around town not knowing that it is Green.
Please nobody tell me that this guy is not a douche after you watch what he drives to practice!

He's driving an ORANGE VESPA wearing MOCCASINS in DECEMBER (i.e. COLD)!

Vespa's are a real mans ride. No Joke. I used to think he was a douche but now he has my respect.

Dude, actual moccasins(not the store bought crap) are hella warm, so if he's got those, he's fine for feet warmth.
I respect him for having a vespa(an orange one to boot), but I doubt I could ride one in the middle of winter. Too cold for it, but I suppose I also don't live in DC or Virginia.

Between this, Ovechkin living with his Mom and packing his PS3 for a raod trip, I just don't know what to think anymore!
What an amazing show.
This is not Green going to practice. He lives in Arlington, and would have no need to cross the Potomac River to go to practice. In the video, Arlington is the high rise buildings in the background when he is crossing the bridge. This is obviously a viral ad for Vespa. I am not sure if it is something he did for a local dealership or if this was organized directly with Vespa's main office.
Green drives a Bentley to practice! (pictures in the caps thread in sig)
Also, Ovie has his own place in Arlington. Perhaps his mom and/or dad stays with him when they are in town. (I haven't seen last nights 24/7 yet, so perhaps they showed something that I am not aware of and could be wrong about Ovie living with his mom, but I doubt it.)

Ya in last nigths 24/7 they said that he lives with his parents. Ovie actually said he wont move out till he has a wife cause he needs someone to clean and do laundry .... so yeah he lives with them. clip of it here

I dunno about the Vespa ad thing they likely would have had his face visible if it was for an ad dont you think? I mean whats the point if you cant see tell its Green in the clip cause his face is covered? having said that it does seem odd to drive a vespa in winter when you have other options.

Whether he's going to practice or not, that's not the point. The point is he's a flaming douche and this is clear evidence! Watch the episode, there are many other examples of his douchiness (lying to the refs, whining about an injury, looking at Ovie's junk, etc.).
This comment sums up Mike Green, it's from a poster named MattfromWestNY that I found on ThePensBlog:
Mike Green wears Louie Vuitton gloves, with matching Louie Vuitton accessories, when he rides his orange moped. Mike Green lies about getting hit with a stick, and cries to a ref, when he cant handle one of Charas least powerful hits. Mike Green has maintained the same pouty look on his face, in every scene, since appearing in Episode 1. Its probably the same reason Mike Green, decided to get the word "Faith" tattooed on his arm, surrounded by a bouquet of Daisies. And when the ship starts sinking, you can be sure Mike Green wont be there, probably on account of a "tweaked" knee. See its easy to jump ship and avoid blame when your teams not winning, and Mike Green loves to do things the easy way. Its probably why Mike Green decided to give up on that play, and glide at about 1 mph, with his stick on the ice, watching a 19 year old Burmistrov turn his defensive partner inside out. Ive learned a couple things from watching this guy. Hes a ****ing loser. An emotional douche. Hes the kid whos Dad forced him to play, when he just wanted to quit. Hes the Kid you used to play with back in the day, who always pretended to be hurt when he lost the game. And yet he remains to be a guy who gets a lot of attention, a lot of praise, from Washington fans and NHL media. Seems unfair, right? Its ok, theres good news. No team wins a cup with players like that.

Ovie's not a baby for living with his parents, he's actually smart. He doesn't have to do any chores or anything. Sid wasn't a baby either for living in a sub-complex of his owner's huge resort.
Honestly, these guys can live with whoever they want, drive whatever they want, date whoever they want.....
Let them be kids, let them grow up and hope that someone is teaching them to be respectful and productive members of society. If OV lives with his parents and Sid lived with his owner/idol, these seem to be character references and not character flaws.
Regarding the rest, as long as they show up and play at the level they are supposed to, WHO CARES.
Maybe I am just old school or just old?
Some of the best references ever!!!

I hardly think these guys are baby's, PC. Get a grip, man. The OV thing was just funny and unexpected.
I agree the Vespa (and PS3) seemed like obvious product placements.
I'll take what you say seriously about Mike Green when your homophobia wears off .... I think somewhere along the line you misinterpreted the word douche, as in George Avis from that article posted on here yesterday.
Flaming douche? I'm not sure what that is but it doesn't sound very hygenic.
Its quite possible given the attention you pay to Mike Green off the ice that you've developed a serious man-crush on him - or are those strictly reserved for Senators' players?
