You can’t coach stupid….
Another day, another professional athlete getting hit with the stupid stick. The newest member of professional ranks that somehow graduated high school to make millions, is Adam “Pacman” Jones. Pacman was in the news earlier this year for having multiple issues with the NFL and the law because of his habit of hanging out at strip clubs, getting into fights, and somehow people got very hurt. Pacman finally got Roger Goodell to let him back into the league after a year long suspension while he was playing for the Dallas Cowboys. Truly America’s Team, as only in America can a felon still be able to make millions and stay out of jail. Adam Jones was recently in a report that he got into a physical confrontation with one of his “bodyguards.” For a minute I was secretly praying that the bodyguard he beat the snot out of was Kevin Costner, but when I realized that I wasn’t that lucky, (or smart), it was brought to my attention that it wasn’t even really a bodyguard. It was a security detail member that is hired by Jerry Jones and the Cowboys to keep an eye on Mr. Pacman. So when Pacman wakes up at 4am and decides that he wants to load up his glock 9mm, and pay a visit to the local skin bar, they are there to either tell him that something like that might not improve his zone pass coverage, or to stop him from going all together. What a great job to have. What on earth are you supposed to do with a guy like that?? If he doesn’t listen to you, are you supposed to subdue him? “Hi, Jerry…..it’s Carl from the security detail……yeah, Pacman wanted to hit up the strip club and shoot some people tonight…..yeah, again……so I told him that good little Cowboys on America’s Team shouldn’t do that……he said no and tried to leave……and I know you pay me to keep him safe…..but he wouldn’t stop……so I had to stab him in the spine…..sorry…..” That has to be a very thankless job, trying to keep someone safe, who has no intention of playing by the rules. I wonder how much these people make? Do all teams have this?? If that is the case the Cincinnati Bengals must spend 50 million a year keeping their team out of the joint. It kind of always makes me wonder about God’s overall plan. Why is it that people starve to death every second, yet a thug, with nothing but pure talent, can make it big, never have to worry about money again, and spend all day stuffing one dollar bills down a person’s clothes? Some things I will never understand. I hope Pacman either gets smart real quick, stops beating up the people paid to protect him, or ends on up in the same cell block as Mike Vick.
On a lighter note, the Phillies are now up 2-0 against the Dodgers…..Yes, Cub fans, that could have been your team in the second round. Yes, the team that humiliated your bunch of babies is now losing 0-2. What a total waste of a season. I hope by now, all Cub fans actually know their team is out and not on one knee staring at the rolling banner on the bottom of ESPN wondering where the Cubbies went. I truly hope, that whoever buys the Cubs next year decides to demolish that 1000 year old rat infested toilet called Wrigley Field. That place will never see another World Series game, so you might as well put it out of it’s misery. I, for one, would love to walk up to the rubble while all those crazed Cub fans try to pick up bricks and seats, and give my contribution to the field in the form of warm urine. I doubt anyone would notice anyway, I would just be adding to that strong smell of piss already there. ML
