The Dustbin of Dumbasses

At my former blogging home, I used to do a Monday morning piece called (and this might sound familiar) Running the Count Full. I'd like to do that again here, but since I took that name for the site's name I'll need to come up with something different. I'd also like to use this section to do nothing but make fun of people, which seems to be the common theme of most of what I write in my blogs. So, without further ado, I will unveil the weekly Dustbin of Dumbasses. I hope you enjoy it. Here's this week's crew:


The NBA -- Why do they even have All-Star Saturday night anymore? Nobody that anyone cares about participates in anything meaningful, i.e., the 3-point competition or more importantly, the Slam Dunk contest. And the guys that do participate get hosed by the paid-off judges. Nate Robinson's leap over that other midget notwithstanding, Andre Iguodala was absolutely robbed after the judges decided to inexplicably change their scores to get the mighty mite the trophy. That might not be the worst tragedy of the weekend though. The NBA needs to take fan voting off of the Internet. They say 100 million Chinamen can't be wrong. Well, they are. For the second straight year, that over grown lo mein noodle, Yeo Ming, led the All-Star voting. Let's get something straight right now, this guy is about as talented as Shawn Bradley. He's just fatter. The Chinese community doesn't pay the bills for the NBA. They aren't putting asses in seats over here, so they shouldn't vote. I want to watch people that can play run the floor, dunk, attempt ridiculous passes and unabashedly launch 3s from 40 feet. I don't want to watch Yeo Ming, and the reason Chinese people want to is because you could blindfold him with dental floss. It has nothing to do with hoops.

BODE MILLER -- After failing to win a medal in four events at the Olympic Games, this is what our skiing prodigy had to say:

"One of the good things about my career is I have such extensive knowledge, so I always go as hard as I can," Miller said. "Some guys can go 70-80 percent and get results, but I wouldn't do that. If things went well, I could be sitting on four medals, maybe all of them gold."

Bode, if you have such extensive knowledge, how come things didn't go so well? If you went as hard as you could, how come you've gotten your ass handed to you in every race you've participated in? If those guys going 70-80 percent are going home with the pinnacle award of your sport, shouldn't you reconsider your strategy? All we want to hear from you is that you did the best you could on that day, and your best wasn't good enough. Be a man you snow bunny loser.

RICKY WILLIAMS
-- If you haven't heard yet, apparently Ricky Williams is back on the people's peace pipe. Williams has allegedly been drilled for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy yet again, which will come with a year's suspension. He might as well dust off the dashiki, have his shower removed for a solarium and throw away all hygiene products. That's all he's got left to look forward to. The only thing I don't understand is that the average careerspan of an NFL running back is just a few years. Why wouldn't he stay off the weed long enough to play out his career and earn as much cash as possible, and THEN become a lifelong pothead. Priorities, Ricky!

Check in Mondays to find out each week's dumbasses. Have a great week.
