In this week’s edition of “Sports the Way I See It…From My Couch”, allow me to tee off yet again on some of my favorite frauds in sports…..you know who they are……..let’s go!
Rick Pitino…….Does this Guy EVER Learn? Shut Up Already!
Just when you think the Rick Pitino “sex scandal” is about to work itself off the front page, Slick Rick once again has to call a press conference to make an ass out of himself yet again. I mean, c’mon, does this guy ever learn? You would think he would’ve learned his lesson by now after making a career out of looking like an ass in front of the camera. But, apparently, the Italian Stallion just can’t help himself. The FRAUD(as I like to call him) called a press conference in Louisville today just hours after Louisville police released video and audio recordings and an interview with Karen Cunagin Sypher, who has accused the FRAUD of sexually assaulting her. The FRAUD couldn’t just let the new development blow over……oh no, the FRAUD had to call a press conference to lament that this ordeal has been “pure hell” for his family and lashed out at the media for, get this, actually reporting and commenting on the new recordings and interview. “Everything that’s been printed, everything that’s been reported, everything that’s been breaking in the news on the day Ted Kennedy died is 100 percent a lie, a lie,” Pitino said. “All of this has been a lie, a total fabrication of the truth.” Did this guy actually break out the “on the day Ted Kennedy died” bit? Unbelievable. What an ass.
Time for the NFL to Fix the Thanksgiving Day Schedule
I know it’s months away and anything can happen, but let’s be honest, there is no way that this year’s matchups(Green Bay @ Detroit, Oakland @ Dallas, NY Giants @ Denver) are going to get anyone excited. Seriously, do we have to be tortured every turkey day by being forced to watch these awful matchups? Who is in charge of scheduling these affairs anyway? It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the Raiders stink does it? It’s time to stop giving the Lions and Cowboys the Thanksgiving day games all the time. Thanksgiving day is arguably the biggest NFL watching day of the entire NFL regular season and NFL fans deserve to be able to watch teams that are top shelf. I’m tired of falling asleep every Thanksgiving Day watching the Lions stink it up or the Cowboys plaster some awful opponent. Stop fixing things that don’t need fixing Goodell like moving the NFL draft or getting the Super Bowl to be played in London(good lord!) and start fixing the Thanksgiving day schedule.
The Embarassment that is Shaquille O’Neal
Ok, are we all tired of Shaq yet? I know I am. This guy has been a shell of his former self on the court for a few years now, but that hasn’t stopped this big attention whore from staying in the news. This guy has been running his mouth(on Kobe, Obama, you name it) or plastering his ugly mug on our TV every chance he gets hawking some product or being on some new TV show. I don’t know about you, but I have better things to do with my time than watch Shaq’s new reality TV show called “Shaq Vs…”, which is suppossed to pit Shaq up against other star athletes in their sport. Excuse me while I yawn. Word is he also stole the idea for this new show from former Phoenix teammate Steve Nash. Anyway, as I was surfing Yahoo! sports today I came across the video below that shows Shaq Daddy running across the beach in a pink speedo. Apparently Shaq Diesel lost a competition against gold medal winning women volleyball players Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh and he agreed to walk down the beach for 2 miles in a pink speedo. Check it out below if you want to get a chuckle laughing at this tool:
