The sports world is full of varying degrees of shenanigans, tomfoolery and undeniable idiodacy. This smorgasbord of topics can make even the most novice sports writer giddy.
So, without further adieu, I present the premier installment of athletes who are “Stuck On Stupid”:
In one of the more light-hearted (but talked about) press clippings, LenDale White lost 30 pounds in the offseason from getting off that Patron. And I guess this could hold some truth, but I’ve seen some very skinny guys take tons of alcohol to the head. And then take a Dynamics exam the next morning and score a 94.
So, while he may not be in any Young Joc videos any time soon, it seems like White is motivated and ready to live up to his potential.
“This is a new LenDale White, and I feel bad for a lot of people because they woke somebody up. I’m telling y’all they woke me up, and I’m happy they did too.”
What? They woke him up?? Sounds like somebody had a relapse to me…
Let's see if LenDale is more nimble this season...
So, only in NASCAR would you get penalized for speeding without a speedometer. Sounds like this guy has a pretty valid argument. But what do I know…I’ve never watched a full NASCAR race in my life…
Reports surfaced that the Red Sox fired two security staffers who were using steroids. Now I don’t know about you, but I just might want my security juiced up on steroids. But hey, any foul play going on near the baseball diamond would be public enemy number one these days. Why did the security staffers have their names leaked to the media? It’s not like they are actually playing the game that it is hiding its crooked players – they’re just protecting them…
Great job Lamar. The Lakers super-talented sixth-man got what he wanted from L.A. owner Jerry Buss by doing what he pays his agent to do: negotiate on his behalf. Word has it that Odom went to Buss, expressed his desire to stay in Los Angeles, and got signed to the deal he wanted all along. I wonder if Jeff Schwartz has enough heart to take a lesser amount than he has a contractual right to. Well, he’s an agent…so I doubt it.
In my day, I’ve been known to accumulate my share of small nagging injuries from playing sports – which I am not properly conditioned to play. But isn’t it funny when you hear about athletes injuring themselves doing everyday activities? One of the latest of such incidents is Serena Williams, who admits that she suffered her recent knee injury from dancing. Now I’ve never injured myself dancing, but I would probably do some serious bodily harm to myself if you dared to give me a tennis racket…
