Weekly Waste of Oxygen

This stories just keep on coming week after week. Tasering, gambling, assaulting it was a noteworthy week for idiots and morons. Here are your contestants:

1. Scott Olsen - This guy needs some anger management courses. He seems to weekly get in a different fight with a different teammate and then he runs multiple stop signs while being chased by the cops. The cops were even forced to use a stun gun on him so he would comply. He needs some counseling bad.

2. Phan Van Tai Em - Typically you know when your team is bad and you set expectations as to how far you believe you can make it in a tournament. But when you're the player of the year and on your national soccer team and you are playing in the asian cup you think maybe you wouldn't schedule important events on tournament dates. Like scheduling your wedding during the quarterfinals and then skipping out on the match.

3. Tim Donaghy - If you don't know what this clown did yet than you haven't been paying attention.

4. Ron Mercer - I was starting to worry there for few weeks that athletes were no longer going to the strip clubs. But fear not the former Celtics bust first round draft pick made the world make sense to me again. As he was arrested for aggravated assault stemming from a scuffle at a strip club and so was his friend who stabbed the bouncer. The world is still on its axis.

Whats the deal with strip clubs? And why would you ever fight over a stripper? Its a stripper. It's not like you brought your girlfriend and some guy is hitting on her. She doesn't like you for you. She pretends to like you because you pay her to pretend to like you. If a guy has more money, she will like him better. Not a big deal; there are more strippers.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...
