Looking around the world of sports, there are many sports personalities and teams that have p****d you, the typical Joe Six-Pack Fan, off. I have some teams and personalities that have so ticked me off I could just scream. Here is the forum for you to sound off and call out those dumb@$$E$, idiots, and general all-around malcontents by throwing them Under The Bus. I have some nominees this week. Who do you want to throw under said Bus?
NFL
Marshawn ####, RB, Buffalo Bills: this genius stayed silent rather than cooperate with Buffalo police on a misdemeanor hit and run charge against him. Who the hell does he think he is? If he had come correct right away, all this would be behind him now. Instead, he subjected several Bills players, employees, and management to be subpoenaed. Now he's subject to being thrown Under The Bus.
Jevon Kearse, DE, Tennessee Titans: you're a 10 year veteran, with your second stint with the Titans. You're supposedly looked up to as one of the team's veteran leaders. And you get popped for DUI? What were you THINKING? Apparently you WEREN'T thinking. Mix in a cab or a limo to take you home. For knowing better and still being a dumb@SS, The Freak gets thrown Under The Bus.
NASCAR
Kevin Harvick: Happy, what on God's green earth were you THINKING late in the race? Why did you drive it into the corner WAY TOO HARD? You had a Top 5 LOCKED and LOADED into the standings, and you were poised to move up a couple of spots. You took out THREE good cars (Tony Stewart, Jamie McMurray, and Ron Fellows) with that boneheaded move. Because of that idiotic move, you ended up finishing 30th. THIRTIETH!!! Now you're out of the Chase by two measly points. You finished 30th on a course where you finish in the top 5 IN YOUR SLEEP. For Happy, this continues a season-long slump. Now because of his bonehead move, Happy gets thrown Under The Bus this week.
MLB
New York Mets: they couldn't have handled Willie Randolph's firing any worse than that. You should have clipped him off during one of your long losing streaks. Instead, you allowed him to travel with the team to Anaheim to face the Angels. THEN you clipped him IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. After the first game of the series. I've got no problem with Randolph being clipped; what should have happened is that he should have got fired BEFORE the Mets went on the road. For their egregious mishandling of the Randolph firing, the Mets get thrown Under The Bus.
NBA
Los Angeles Lakers: losing by 40 to the Boston Celtics was inexcusable. It's okay to lose to the Celtics; they are the better team. But losing by 40 means you QUIT. I am very disappointed and disgusted by the Lakers' lack of effort. I hope the Lakers use this as motivation to win an NBA title next season. But until then, the Lakers get thrown Under The Bus.
Those are my nominees for the week. Feel free to come in with yours!
NHRA..for not having sand traps mandatory at the end of the race tracks. I dont know if it would have saved Scott. It might have gave him a chance. I hope the dragracing world will look at all its tracks. Any dragstrip with out a sand trap, or something other than pavement to help slow down a chuteless car, well they can all be thrown under the bus.
Not only does Marshawn #### deserve to be thrown under the bus, but he needs to be dragged out from under it and thrown back under again. what bonehead hits a woman in the cross walk and then drives away without (a checking to see if she is ok, b) calling the cops c) staying there d) calling an ambulance and e) staying there. Now not only does he face charges he has involved teammates and owners in what should have been an easy fix. What a ####.
Now Foxsports gets thrown under the bus for bleeping ####. It is the guys name for chrissakes. If you bleep the guys name what next? Or is Foxsports just so race sensitive it is concerned with the word #### when used in any sentence. Get a grip Fox and get your head out of your anal orifice.
Noahspop, not only that, but they deserve to have their race(s) ripped from the schedule until they make the necessary safety improvements. While they're at it, how about SAFER barriers along both lanes all the way down the track?
Kelly, the Celtics were simply a better team. But losing by 40 means you QUIT. And that bothers me. I could have handled it if they lost by 10, even 15. But I have a hard time when my team quits in the middle of the game.
Sizzel, the Lakers came out of the tough West. They belonged on that stage. But the Celtics were the better team.
Dnash1, Marshawn could well be a #### of the Year nominee. You might have to change your settings to allow your posts/comments to become uncensored.
IowaGirl, I think he was thinking it was a Funny Car instead of the COT. I haven't heard any official explanation from Harvick. My guess is that he had a lapse in concentration. He didn't have to race it in there so hard. Gilliland was conceding fourth to him. (Harvick had a run on Gilly and was going to pass him and maybe Jeff Gordon at the same time)
As bad as it is to wait on the race through COUNTDOWN TO GREEN, is listening to some of the announcers' voices - it's like scratching a chalkboard! Benny Parsons and Ned Jarrett are just shoes that can't be filled! Get D.J., Marty Snider, NEVER MIND, THE RACE IS ON! SEE YA!
I am from Central California. I am passionate about sports, particularly the NFL and NASCAR. My favorite teams are: Panthers (NFL), Lakers (NBA), Flyers (NHL), and Dodgers (MLB). I am also a Kevin Harvick fan in NASCAR. I am a Fresno State honk. (I'll admit it!) And I am also a fan of MMA. Jackie Robinson to this day represents what is right about baseball. I also enjoy discussing the relevant (and sometimes irrelevant) issues of the day pertaining to sports. I will never understand why televised poker is so popular. Who wants to see a bunch of people sitting around a table, muttering to themselves? I do my best to keep politics out of my sports discussions. That is why I recently created a nonsports blog, cencalscribe. blogspot.com. That is where I post my nonsports topics.
