Today seems like an excellent day to get you caught up on the truly idiotic stories involving athletes in professional sports, for some reason the hump day, just brings out the worst in the sports world:
Terry Bradshaw is an Idiot - No that’s not new news, but it is a recurring theme if you’ve ever watched him (or worse had to listen to him) on FOX’s Sunday NFL Countdown. However, Terry took his stupidity to a new level this week when speaking on the Dan Patrick show openly admitted to using steroids during his time as a player. Fortunately for him there are two kinds of steroids (ones legal and one is not), so he was able to fall back on the “I only took the legal one” defense style. It’s a good defense, but only from the law, not from the judgmental people like myself.- The Miami Heat Don’t Want Good Players - This is reinforced by the fact that they don’t want phenom Michael Beasely, instead they want to take a fly on OJ Mayo or worse, Jerryd Bayless. Mayo is not a terrible choice but let’s take a look at the Heat’s current roster - Dwayne Wade, Ricky Davis, Jason Williams (the white one, not the good shooting one) and Shawn Marion, whose about the same height at the other three mentioned. So let’s add ANOTHER guard to the mix, because we really don’t want Mr. Wade shooting the basketball.
Pigeons, Not Welcome at Wimbledon - If you haven’t heard about this then you should read the article from one of the many U.K. publications that are covering it. Apparently in an effort to keep pigeons from defecating on the holiest tennis courts in all of Britain, the Wimbledon folks have taken to the Grand Theft Auto IV approach of shooting them. If you don’t believe me, read the article. Unfortunately this gives Jack Thompson some more ammunition (pun intended) because even adults are now emulating video games. Well, at least the stupid ones.
Adam Jones Needs to get Over Himself - A day after radio shock jock Don Imus sarcastically came to his defense regarding unfair police practices against him (and African-Americans in general). Jones issued a statement saying, “I’m truly upset about the comments. Obviously, Mr. Imus has problems with African Americans. I’m upset, and I hope the station he works for handles it accordingly. I will pray for him.” Perhaps Mr. Jones should pray more for himself than worrying about what grumpy old man with a microphone has to say. I mean seriously, the number of people under the age of 40 that listen to Don Imus is so tiny, and the people that listen to him are probably not attending many Cowboys games this year. But I guess this is the Chad Johnson effect. Speaking of which…- Chad Johnson: “I’m crazy, but I ain’t stupid” - Really Chad? Running your mouth about how terrible your organization, coach, GM, quarterback and fellow receivers are, is not exactly a “smart” thing to do to help win yourself a championship. Cheating on the other hand, that will at least get you to the big dance!
Shaq can’t rap - Regardless of whom he’s rapping about (Kobe) his raps still suck, but they pale in comparison to his acting ability. Seriously Shaq-Fu, you need to beg for your job back at the police department, because at least you weren’t terrible at that, as opposed to all of your other career endeavors. That, and don’t tell Kobe, the league MVP that he needs you to win an NBA championship, because you didn’t help the Suns get it done. If you don’t believe me, watch the video.
That’s a wrap for this Wednesday (har har). Tune in next Wednesday for more on the wonderful world of sports!
