Embarrassing Performances for the Week I was in Mexico

Shaq

Alright, so I didn't get to see the game because they did not have ABC in Mazatlan, they did have a lot of sun, but I didn't need to see anything more than the line shaq put up from game two to know that it was a feeble performance. 5 points on 2 of 5 from the field and 1 of 7 from the free throw line. In addition he pulled down a measly 6 rebounds. In comparison the man he called soft two seasons ago, Erick Dampier a non integral part of the Mavericks roster pulled down 13 rebounds and had 6 points. Looks like I might have been wrong with the whole Shaq is going to dominate thing.

Roger Federer

Granted you made it to the finals of the Grand Slam on your weakest surface. Granted you lose to the rest of the players on the AP tour about as many times a year as I am annoyed when the clocks get changed. But Roger can you stop losing to Capri pants please. If someone is going to beat him its going to be you and I'm sick of white see-through pants on my screen, its terrible. So can you at least trounce him at Wimbeldon.

US National Team

Has every single commentator on the air stated that you are the best US team ever, how about spending more time then 5 minutes before giving up a goal. The Czech's were bigger faster stronger and more skilled, from watching that game it appears as if the Czechs would have beaten the US badly in any game at any time. So either the analysts are completely wrong touting you as the best Americans ever or you guys just plain forget to show up. So get your act together by Saturday or prepare to be embarrassed and still playing a second tier American Sport.

JJ Redick

JJ decided he was going to show that he was thug life and tough and had a dark side by going out and getting him self a little jail time. That illegal U-Turn to avoid the cops turned out to be a bad decision eh JJ.

Jason Grimsley

Nice to see that not being forthright in an investigation has its consequences. Jason, I'm pretty sure you just ended your baseball career buddy, if the Diamondbacks are forced by the labor association to pay him it will be a joke. Sure you want to stick by your rules Donald, but there are blatant circumstances like this one where you are in the clear wrong, especially considering he asked for his release.

Not embarrassing But Unfortunate

Ben Roethlisberger

Big Ben came out last year in the ESPN interview about motorcycles saying that the injury to the "Soldier" Kellen Winslow wasn't going to deter him from riding and that he was going to go out and ride as safely as possible and that he didn't do tricks and didn't drive on the highway but that he wasn't going to wear a helmet. Ben riding without a helmet is not a good decision whether you're on the highway or not, hope you get better and that a little bit of your ego subsides. When you look at situations though, Aaron Boone got his contract null and void when he hurt himself playing hoop, which seems more dangerous to you and more in need of being included as a clause in a contract.

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...
