You just oughta be slapped...

This one goes out to all of the professional athletes with multimillion dollar contracts who get into legal trouble over stupid stuff that they had no business doing.  This list includes but is not limited to all of the following people:
  • Braylon Edwards (and his disorderly conduct)
  • Gilbert Arenas (really Gil, you brought your guns with you to protect your kids, REALLY??? I need to have a long talk with your PR person)
  • Plaxico Burress (a fellow MSU alum who apparently does not actively utilize his education.  It seems shooting yourself would be punishment enough but alas you and your bad leg are going to prison.)
  • Mike Vick (I don't care about the dogs, sorry but I don't.  However, this was a totally unnecessary mess for MV to have involved himself with.  Please leave the dog fighting to the people with nothing to lose)
  • OJ Simpson (Although he has never been in LEGAL hot water over anything that could properly be classified as "stupid" - i.e. murder, kidnapping, robbery, etc.- no list like this would be complete without him.  I mean really OJ, after your legal dream team performs a miracle on par with turning water into wine you decide to rob and kidnap someone?)
(It's not that the above individuals can not or have not recovered from their mistakes.  It is the fact that they would risk so much for so little that lands them on this list.)

All of you and everyone else who has blown the opportunity of a lifetime doing stuff that just makes absolutely no sense- go long and catch this *Blank Stare* because you deserve it!

  1. OJ hasn't done anything stupid? I beg to differ. I'd like to direct your attention to Exhibit A - penning a tome called "If I Did It" and Exhibit B - going in a room with guns drawn to retrieve some items that had allegedly been stolen from him, and getting caught on tape plotting the same.

    The defense rests.

  2. Point of clarification to all readers: I meant that murder, robbery, and kidnapping could not be classified as "stupid" in the same way that carrying a gun to a nightclub and shooting your own self in the leg could.
    And person above, you would actually be the prosecution in your scenario.
