THINGS THAT MAKE ME ANGRY: OLYMPIC EDITION

by T, TheAngryT

1. Players Ripping Bobby Petrino – “Oh no, Bobby Petrino jumped ship!!! He really let us down. He is a traitor.” Shut up DeAngelo Hall, shut up Joey Harrington. Joey especially, if you could find a job or sport where you aren't constantly ridiculed, you would jump ship in a second. I am tired of your whiny diatribes about Petrino leaving. Remember that NFL football coach is a JOB. Petrino uses the money that he earns to support his family. His happiness is based in some part on how much he enjoys this job, so who the hell are you to tell this guy who he can’t go to work for? Your Falcons team is terrible, and will be terrible for the foreseeable future. I wouldn’t want to coach you bums, and neither did Bobby.

This isn’t an un-paid high school football coach who decided to quit on you mid-season, this is a guy who found a better job and took it. What if a coworker/friend found a better paying job in a company he had wanted to work for? Would you chastise this guy because he left your company for greener pastures? Even if he said he wanted to stay with the company for many years, no one would say a word to him because it is HIS job, and the decision is up to him. In sports, for some reason, people feel that coaches have some extra obligation to their job and feel they have the right to bitch when a coach leaves for a better job. I feel that gives me the right to bitch about their bitching, and you the reader have the right/obligation to call me a bitch because of my bitching.

2. The Fact that Marion Jones Cannot Attend the Olympic Games in Beijing – What is she going to do if she attends, throw steroids at the athletes? Sneak steroid collatas into the Olympic Village water cooler? My next question is how close she can get? Can she be in Beijing and not attend the games? Can she be in the country or in Asia in general? How about Turkey? I always got confused whether that is Asia or Europe... can she be in Turkey? Can you ban someone from a continent?

Personally, Olympic people, I think you are taking it a bit too far. I am sure that they don’t want her there because of the negative publicity that her steroid admission will bring about. But, I think if she wore a disguise, maybe a Richard Jewel mask, she could fit in and still watch the sports she loves.

3. Non-Believers in Josh Smith (there are at least 12 of them out there)– Because he plays in Atlanta, you don’t get to hear as much as you should about Josh Smith. Josh Smith is an absolute monster. He fills the stat sheet like Scottie Pippen in his prime. You rarely see 0’s when you scroll left to right on a Josh Smith box score. In fact, if you look at his game log from ESPN.com, and look from steals and move all way to the right and stop at point totals, you will only find five 0s for the entire season. Plus, the man is 22 years old. When I was 22 (two years ago) I could hardly tie my own shoes, mostly because of a forearm problem due to chronic masturbation. Point being, Josh Smith is very young and unbelievably good.

If he was playing with a point guard not name Tyronn Lue or Anthony Johnson, he could be scoring over 20 a game with at least three fewer disgusted looks at Anthony Johnson because he looks so much like Beetlejuice from the Howard Stern Show.
