Top 10 dumbest Things Pro Athletes Do

There seems to be an endless stream of idiotic things professional athletes do. I guess if you put a handful of young men together, give them a boatload of money and plenty of free time, what can you expect? When beautiful women, the media and the luxuries of life are thrown at them, his arrogance and stupidity are only amplified. Here are my top ten, but of course there's more. However, we must always remember, only are human too.

1. Make Me Play Good! Did you see NFL players beat their chest like a gorilla after they just do a good deed? I guess it's a Tarzan thing or something, but they look a bit ridiculous. Maybe if I was out there in the field and I was a 170-pound kicker watching a defensive lineman beating his chest after a sack, I can be a little intimidated, but overall, it really stupid. (I attended a professional game of all women-is football this year and saw a 350 pound woman do this, which is especially frightening.)

2. The God Factor, Part I hate it when players point to the sky and thank God after a good game too. Keep in mind though, I am not criticizing anyone by religion or faith in God. But this is only is lame. It happens a lot in the big leagues for a reason. A strikeout will cause Pedro Martinez to the touch and chest-double index finger point to God as if he and God were chatting earlier about possible pitching strategies in the locker room, and the strategy they chose together worked, so he had to personally thank God using hotline.

3. The God Factor, Part II locker rooms, sidelines, dugouts, bullpens, and the sides are often full court prayer men. One question: "If you are praying to win, and your opponent is praying to win, to whom God has chosen?

4. Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Watcha Gonna Do When they come for you? Why pro athletes being arrested for drugs and / or possession of weapons it? Of course, many people do this a disgrace, just happened to hear talk about the famous athletes who do. Come on guys, keep medications in the home, stop driving while high, and for the love of packin aloud, stop! You does not need a gun. Who is going to hurt? These six six and weigh 275 pounds!

5. It Was not Me! Congress have no say steroids, and then be trapped doing steroids is pretty dumb. I loved watching the clips where Rafael Palmero Sat pointing the finger at the Congressional hearing stating with disgust and confidence "I do not take steroids." And then the next clip showing him apologizing profusely for taking steroids.

6. I Love You To Death murder his ex-lover does not happen very often, fortunately, but my list is not complete without at least mentioning OJ

7. It seems that rabbits are a lot of players NBA around the phrase "my baby's mom" a little too often. And there are too many children, professional athletes, "the introduction of his friends as "my brother from another mother." Have you heard of a condom?

8. Bling Bling How Need?! It is fascinating to watch athletes blow professionals through all their millions in their first year or two and then have nothing in retirement, which is usually only a few years later. How many fifty years of age are still playing professional sports? Not many people (players unless, of course, that will drag their canes and oxygen tanks with them in the street). So why not pro athletes save a couple bucks?

9. My love pork is not too smart to get injured outside of work when you're a professional athlete. Cleveland Browns Kellen Winslow Jr. crashed his motorcycle recently and now will miss the 2005 NFL season. Jay Williams number one draft pick of the Chicago Bulls also got in a motorcycle accident and has not played since. What about motorcycles anyway? Talk about killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

10. "When it comes to a fork in the road, Take It" - Yogi Berra saying really dumb things in media seems to be an easy thing to do especially if you're a professional athlete. I looked in many places online to find a good list here. My problem was that there were good points, I was not sure what to choose. But here are some gems: a. Paul Hamm, gymnast: "I owe much to my parents, especially my mother and my father. "B. Baseball player Tito Fuentes, after being beaten by a pitch," Do not shoot me. I am a father of five or six children. "The Football C. coach Ray Malavasi: "I do not care what the tape said. Do not tell me." d. Baseball player Dizzy Dean, after a 1-0 game: "The match was closer than the score indicated. "E. Boxing Analyst:" Sure there have been injuries and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious. "F. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like I have has eleven Dicks on the field." g. Bill Cowher, coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers " We're not trying to circumcise rules. "H. Jim Wohford:" Ninety percent of the game is half mental. "I. Joe Theismann:" Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is somebody like Norman Einstein. "J. Charles Shackleford of the NCSU basketball team:" Left hand, right hand, no matter. I'm amphibious ". K. Shaquille O'Neal, on his lack of championships:" I've won at every level except college and professional. "

As I have done before, what can we expect from professional athletes? They often reflect society as a whole. Too much time, money and fame at a young age may increase stupidity, plain and simple. All said and done stupid things, but luckily, we have microphones and video cameras pointed us all the time. As Norman Einstein used to say: "Really smart athletes stay away from trouble, as it can predict the future with their ESPN."
