Damaramu 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Ok we know it's all happened. You're sitting there like "Man this guy is going to be something some day! He's great!" And then you hear of something stupid he did or said and you're like "What a retard! I can't believe he just did that!" I started this thread b/c I just read that OU backup QB Paul Thompson who was going to be red shirted this year and given the keys to the car next year after White left was arrested last night for a DUI. And it made me go "What a fucking moron. What the fuck is wrong with you?" And then I started thinking of other stupid things athletes have said or done that make you go "What!? WHY!?" So share some stupid things athletes have done that were, could be, or luckily didn't turn out to be career damaging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Speaking of Thompson, I read that after he threw for 300+ yards in the spring game, a lot of OU fans wanted him to replace White this year. White had two bad games and people want him gone? Y'all seem to be a fickle bunch down there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

White had two bad games and people want him gone? Y'all seem to be a fickle bunch down there. Those are what are known as fair weather fans. The real fans know there bread is buttered with the guy that won the Heisman trophy and had a 5 to 1 TD/INT ratio. I think that's the nature of all fans though.

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2004 Vince Coleman throws a firecracker out of his car How about this with Andre Rison? Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Andre Rison was accused by police of giving them false information after a bar fight. Rison was waived Monday, a week after receiving the citation in River Falls, Wis., site of the team's training camp. Rison was not arrested for the Aug. 7 incident, and the citation is not a criminal offense. Police said no charges are pending, but Rison was fined $219.50 and has an appearance in municipal court set for Sept. 13. Police reports in River Falls indicate that in the early-morning hours of Aug. 7, a verbal confrontation at a River Falls bar involving Chiefs players and other people escalated into a fight. One of the people reportedly involved identified himself to police as Brock Middlebrook, but one of the officers recognized him as Rison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Cause I know Rison hasn't played in a while. But, yeah, a Black guy named Brock Middlebrook? Suuuuuure, Andre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2004 I think this was 1999. Rison's career with the Raiders never really worked for him, considering he was still wanted in Johnson County, Kansas for stolen stereo equipment (I think) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted May 4, 2004 During the playoffs, the NBA has a rule that basically says every player/coach has to make themselves available for the media. Not that everyone has to go to the postgame press confernces, but whoever the media requests has to go. Rasheed would frequently blow these things off and jet after the game, which IMO should be his right. So the league fined him for not going and told him he'd better go next time. So after a Portland-Dallas playoff game, Rasheed went to the press conference, and for every question asked of him just said, "Both teams played hard."

I wish I could remember that shit... It seems every day another athlete does something mindboggling. I thought the shit Terrel Owens pulled this year was pretty funny...I'm going to be a free agent, fuck Jeff Garcia and the Niners, then he and his agent blow the whole thing. Though, he did get his way in the end. I thought the story about Rasheed following a referee out to his car after a game, was pretty crazy, though totally expected.
