Weekly Waste of Oxygen

So I think with my new found love for polls I'm going to set up a weekly friday post that highlights the douches of the week, the people who have proven through their actions during the current week that the planet would be better off without.

So who are our first contestants...
1. Gary Sheffield - Gary came out and threw out conspiracy theories about him getting suspended and about Latin players falling in line while Black players will always be who they be. Shut the hell up.

2. Billy Donovan - What says annoying more than spurring a weeklong story that didn't have too many sidebars. Billy Donovan made us talk for a week about nothing, including myself, and he definately douched over Anthony Grant.

3. Johnnie Morton - Not only were you a bust in the NFL, especially for the Lions, but you got knocked the F out by a comedian in your MMA match and then you didn't even agree for the steroid test post fight. Which implies that you were on steroids and you still got knocked out. Nice.

4. Drunken Dutch Fan - He's the chap who ran on the field during a 3-3 tie took a swing at the ref, forced the UEFA to disqualify the Dutch, which eliminated their country from qualifying for the European Tournament. Talk About being a solid countryman.

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...
