Around SBN: Tiger Woods, Tony Romo Grouped Together At Pebble Beach

Are you nuts?!? I want a list of athletic nut-cases....




I will give you some athletes to get you started:

Tonya Harding... orchestrating a knee bashing of Nancy Kerrigan.

Bonzi Wells........ He pushed a teammate down a flight of stairs during a McDonalds high school all-star game, spit on fans, etc.

J.R. Rider........... He claimed that people in Salem Oregon still lynched black people all the time....

Qyntel Woods... Dog fighting, giving police a bubblegum card as identification.

Rasheed Wallace... Technical! Technical! Technical!

Vernon Maxwell... Punching a fan in Portland.

Ron Artest........ Punching a fan in Detroit, or was that Indiana? His off-the-wall comments, his michael jackson rap. his desire to play for the L*kers.

Stephon Marbury.. Everything under the sun. Vasoline eating.

That Jacksonville player that committed murder.

O.J. Simpson..... Murder. That Las Vegas debacle... Etc.

Jayson Williams.. Chauffer murder?

Kobe Bryant...... Rape.

Damon Stoudamire. Wrapping an ounce of weed in aluminum foil and trying to pass it through a metal detector in phoenix. Smoking weed with Rasheed Wallace in a bright yellow hummer while speeding down the freeway.

Zach Randolph.. He is a powder keg that explodes a little at a time. Punching that Suns player for no apparent reason. Flipping off fans at games. Etc.

Tell me, People of blazersedge.com, Who else belongs here? I think there will be ALOT of them.. I have the up-most confidence in you...!

This should be really fun....

Seriously?

Big D from Blog-A-Bull - "Pritchard is such a genius that teams just give him players for free."

Greg Oden - The only other rookie with more than 500 points, 400 rebounds, and 65 blocks in under 1400 minutes played. Since 1946

I think he meant . . .

Rae Carruth, who played for Carolina. Different feline expansion team.

Rae Carruth/Carolina..!

Thanks, TonyStatham, That is exactly who I was referring to. Didn’t he ‘hire’ someone to kill his pregnant girl? Was that it?

Half right..

It was something that includes several ex-Blazers. I thought it would be a good forum for people to laugh and/or shake their heads in shame for ‘nutty athletes’.

this is funny

But I beat you to the idea by a few days.

We share a couple things, but I tried to stay away from the murder and rape stuff myself.

I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

It is offseason and nothing is going on except Batum in Les Bleus.

Coulda’ been a junk drawer (a good idea for one too), but now that it is here we might as well enjoy it.

Kobe Bryant was never found guilty of rape, nor is he a nutcase.

T.O. and chad 85.....yes...

as far as Kobe goes, it is a matter of opinion. I felt I had to include him due to the smokinggun.com police report that i read last night, in Kobe’s own words, mind you, he knows and heard her say ‘No’, several times…

by 1ofthe7 on Aug 14, 2009 12:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

At least rape on the "date-rape" level.

The women wants to do some naughty stuff, and he wants to do a bit more than she does… didn’t Sublime write a song about that?

“In the prison it was getting late, he was accosted by a big inmate…”

To me it is pretty reprehensible, and at least deserves nuttiness consideration because it was a HUGE lapse of judgment (kind of like smoking weed in the back of a hummer, just that it also hurts someone else).

by staylost on Aug 14, 2009 1:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

Kobe's no rapist.

The lesson learned here, for both of them, is don’t get yourself into bad situations where the likelihood of more bad stuff happening to you increases. Life’s not fair, and if you push your luck, it becomes even more unfair.

So if I hang out in the golden triangle and someone kills me...

They are not a murderer because I was being thrifty with my common sense?

They're still a murderer.

But you get the short end of the stick, being murdered and whatnot.

I'd scream rape too if I ever found myself in the bed of a millionaire!!!!

John Rocker and Stephen Jackson are a bit whacko. And lets not even get started on MIke tyson.

I forgot about that, but they just sucked as opposed to being nuts.

Iam glad those days are gone..

Rueben Patterson should be on this list……

Actually, it was a tongue-in-cheek but serious question.

I don’t correct other folks spelling, else I’d have more comments than Timbo or Dave.

I guess I just have never met anyone named Rubin, Ruben, or even Reuben. I thought it would be funny to have the name and order the sandwich. It’s like when I pay for my groceries at Safeway, I enter my club card number, which apparently is now owned by some guy named Morales, and the cashier always looks at me funny when she says, “Thank you, Mr. Morales,” because I obviously don’t have even a drop of Hispanic blood in me.

Is it October yet?

by MiledAnimal on Aug 14, 2009 8:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

I thought it was a clever 'education'.

But I still second guessed myself, because I actually had a reuben the other day and just remembered the extra ‘e’ on the menu spelling …

Glad his name wasn’t ‘BLT’, or ‘Clubhouse’.

I can relate to the safeway thing, as well.

Funny.

Does anyone watch boxing?

Can’t forget the Prince!

He’s been one of the best boxers of our time, had one of the strongest punches/weight ever, and he went though titles like nothing.
He and those he was about to fight had their titles stripped time and again being the different titling organizations didn’t want so many titles owned by one guy.

One of my favorite sports nuts of all time!

What about Dennis Rodman?

There is more to an athlete than how fast they can run, they also better be able to see what they are doing and know why they are doing it.

by KINGofMACct on Aug 14, 2009 6:56 PM PDT reply actions  

And Mike Tyson?

Anybody hungry?

Rape

Is a pretty strong word to use for someone who was not convicted. And as Timbo says, he’s not nuts, or any more so than a super rich (still) young man who gets told how great he is 5000 times a day.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
