Nothing really sparked this post except curiosity, and a bit of anger.
Today were chatting about why athletes (who are adults) can't act like any other grown man/woman would in a public setting. Now i understand that these guys are under a microscope so for some what people call "run-ins" i think we are being very critical and unreasonable with them. But for the majority of the acts players get in trouble for, they are just being plain old stupid. Take the Detroit Lions as a whole right now. Not exactly a roster of scholars. They did clean it up a little by cutting some guys, but in the off season alone i think they have upwards of 3 arrests. Majority of them for DUI. How stupid can you be. Just because you are a professional athlete does not mean that you are above the law. These guys makes millions, maybe an average player will only make a million, but I'm pretty sure between the booze and i can only assume women you were trying to bribe and or intoxicate so they will sleep with you, you should probably have 20 bucks left over for a cab. Or if your in the off season take that opportunity to maybe walk some of the booze off. Maybe not the safest option but hey these guys are pretty big i think they can hold there own.
Now that we have got past how simple it is not to drink and drive, lets move on to the next one. To you jerk offs who have no money. Not one part of me feels bad for you. Evander Hollyfield has like 12 kids with 4-6 women. He is 50 and still boxing and can't retire or he will go to jail. That makes me sick this guy was a star in the peak of boxing and he is broke. Vince Young made millions, and he doesn't even know where it went. That's almost worse than spending it all. How stupid can you be that you don't know where your money went. Terrell Owens is so far in child support he also is broke, which is also hilarious. Don't give me some sob story because you had all these women just throwing themselves at you and you were young, dumb, and full of cum. I don't care you still have a brain, a partial college education, and pretty good hands so use those hands to throw on a dome. WOW problem solved for Owens and Hollyfield. If you make a minimum of 850,000 dollars a year in no way should you ever go broke unless you are a complete moron, in which your mother should hire you a financial advisor to hold on to your money so you can't waste it on shiny things and fast cars you can drive when your sauced.
Point number three. The guys who are "misunderstood". Nope your not misunderstood your just an ass hole. Delonte West, your an ass hole, Gilbert Arenas your an ass hole too Kevin Bieksa yep ass hole, Ryan Kessler giant ass hole(also might be a woman). There are numerous cases of guys who start fights in the locker room, who go to the media to fix problems, just so they can look like the good guy. These are the guys who can put a giant smile on when the cameras are on them but when they are off look out. Hey TO you know why no one will sign you, YOUR AN ASS HOLE. If these guys would put ego aside, and realize "hey I'm getting paid to play a game i love, and these guys around me are alright maybe we should be friends." Then i think that sports media might be able to cover more stories that matter. If we could have gotten away from why Dwight Howard wants a trade, then maybe we could have had some really good playoff coverage in the NHL and NBA.
Point number 4, DON'T PUBLICLY ASK FOR A TRADE. What are we 12 again, when you have to wait till people around to be a smart ass so your dad doesn't lay a beating on you. Grow up guys you want a trade, fine go to the GM and say "hey thanks for the opportunity but i would like to play somewhere else, and if we could keep this private until it's done that would be excellent." If more players did that, we again could get sports coverage that matters. If you want to get traded that's great for you, first of all who cares till it actually happens, second your interrupting my highlights with "breaking news" of someone who hasn't been traded but man he sure would appreciate one. Breaking news is if someone gets traded, and that someone has to be an all star or it's no longer breaking news it is just news and should be left on the ticker.
Point number 5, now let's be clear in no way in this point am i bashing any religion, i fully support athletes being religious if that is there choice. Now back to the point, STOP THANKING GOD FOR EVERYTHING. We get it your a very religious person, and like i said that's fine. I don't want you to ruin me going back and thinking about Suh stomping some guys arm out, or Clay Matthews body slamming someone by thanking god he was ok. He was ok because he is built like a brick shit house. Which he got by working hard. So you can believe that this all was gods work (which again is fine) but don't go on national TV and throw your religion at people. I don't watch football, or baseball, or hockey post game stuff so i can break out in prayer. I watch it for analysis, highlights, and to get the players perspective of the game. I personally don't care if you want to thank god, thank the president, thank anyone, if you really want to thank God go home and pray, do not go on national television and do it, your ruining my experience.
Now in my mini fit of rage, i forgot to thank the real pros, the guys who play the game the right way, the guys who stay out of the media until pre and post game press conferences. The guys who are asked how they felt about a play, or a game in general give a real thoughtful answer on how they thought things went. Thank You, you know who you are. To the rest of you i say clean it up.
Again i emphasize that i am not a religion hater, being religious is a choice an individual makes, i just feel that it shouldn't been thrown at other people.
Thank you for reading, i appreciate all the readers, please share it if you like it.
