With the normal summertime lull in sports comes the blockbuster summer movies. Just in time I might add, or I would be bored to tears. Sunday night I managed to go out and watch the latest installment of Diehard with a few friends. I actually enjoyed it up until the “jet” scene and then I realized this guy really is “Unbreakable.” Of course the movie I can’t wait to see is Transformers because I can take my two sons to watch it with me. If you have never heard of Transformers, it is a story about robots which can transform themselves into cars or other automated machinery that is complete with the weaponry of a naval warship. Never mind that these are alien robots that just happen to transform into machines which one would find on this planet! Anyway, this got me thinking about what I would transform into if I were one of these robots. Better yet, what would some of our athletes transform into if they could?
Ricky Williams: A marijuana pipe would keep Ricky close to his nearest and dearest friend, Mary Jane.
A-Rod: A Stripper Pole, so at least I could be close to my new friend without anyone recognizing me.
Kobe: Michael Jordan, because I always wanted to be like Mike.
Barry Bonds: The Incredible Hulk, because when he grows to epic proportions in his altered state, he always returns to normal size. Right now, I am stuck with this big head and small……
Michelle Wie: She would transform into a trophy. Listen to her own words, “I want to be a winner…because, like, winning is so cool. I’ve never won, but I am playing really, really well right now. My game isn’t off too much, but I would be a winner if I could.”
Roger Clemens: “An F-117 Stealth Fighter, because so far I have been able to avoid all of the steroid controversy even though I have continued to win well into my 40’s. I am still as dominant as I always was and my head is getting even bigger with each win.”
Well there you have it for these athletes. I am sure you can think of a few more to add to this list, so just leave those suggestions in the comment line.
socal, I am so sick and tired of you stealing ideas I haven't had yet...great scribble, for me it would be any of the Maxim Hot 100 babes transforming into my girlfriend...
Ricky Williams: A marijuana pipe would keep Ricky close to his nearest and dearest friend, Mary Jane.
