Anyway, several recent football idiocies:
- This one got snuck under most people, but I caught it on FOX Sports 1: The painkiller lawsuit with many prominent ex-NFLers, dismissed last week. What a fucking shock.
- Also, in the latest example of someone whose brains are probably already too scrambled to have a workable life: Deadspin reported Chad Kelly of a Mississippi community college got into a scrape at a nightclub with some bouncers...
- ... after which he said he would go to his car, get an AK-47, and gun down the place. Gee, shithead, a few too many brain concussions already? He was already thrown off the Clemson team, and if his uncle wasn't Jim Kelly (yes, THAT Jim Kelly!), he's probably done with a lot more than football right now.
- And if you want a good example of why I say the shot on a "a few too many brain concussions already", here's Jimmy Clausen yesterday...
Concussion, out for Week 17, and probably a lot more. That Lion? Playing for the division title next weekend -- and, if that hit is any indication with what the league is doing (and they do what I think they're going to do), winning the division title next weekend!
- And that wasn't the only incident in Bears-Lions.... Dominic Raiola of the Lions has been suspended for the Packer showdown for the division for repeatedly and intentionally attempting to break the ankle of Ego Ferguson of the Bears by stomping on it.
- Another bowl game, another incident! BYU and Memphis in the "Beach Bowl". (Yeah, that's another of the thirty-eight bowl games...) And this to end it, courtesy of KSL, Salt Lake City, Utah...
That probably wasn't even the bulk of the brawl!
No, as my friend says (and hat-tip for several of these to said anonymous friend!), it isn't "a few bad apples". THIS IS FOOTBALL, America.
