The Biggest Gimme In Sports History!!

A guy named Jeff Gordon (no, not that one) wrote an article chronicling the 10 biggest human train wrecks in sports history. What I don't understand is... why he bothered. Here's who's on the list and why...

Mike Tyson - Raping people, cannibalism, wanting to fight Kimbo.
Dennis Rodman - Cross-dressing, starring in Double Team, touching Karl Malone's no-no place.
Jose Canseco - Gee, I dunno... Jose's such an upstanding guy.
OJ Simpson - his portrayal of Detective Nordberg in the Naked Gun series.
John Daly - Trying to eat his ex-wife. Literally.
Tonya Harding - Ruining Paula Jones' plastic surgery.
Pete Rose - People seem to think that he bet on baseball.
Diego Maradona - Who?
Denny McLain - Gambling, secret desire to be The Biggest Dope Man.
Tommy Morrison - Taking cheap shots at Rocky.

So here's what I don't get. Tyson's in the spotlight for wanting to fight Kimbo. Canseco put out a new book. OJ got arrested for tryin' to get some paper... but none of these people are NEW to the list in any way? They've all been crazy for at least 10 years.

I could understand writing this list if you were going to add someone to the list or if you were building a case for someone's removal from it, but to just write a list like this, where 95% of the references are extremely dated, and have been covered and covered again, doesn't make sense to me.

So here are some people that belong on a list of sports greatest train wrecks:

Terrell Owens - Suicide attempts, guest appearances in Bang-Bros porn, staring lustily at the ass of a stripper.
Coco Crisp - Grabbing at the junk of a small Japanese man.


Chris Henry - Gun charges, sex crimes, gun charges, DUI, gun charges, providing alcohol to minors, playing for the Bengals, gun charges, drug use, gun charges, assaulting a valet, drug use, gun charges.

Jason Giambi - Porn 'stache, sharing gold-lamé tiger-striped thong with teammates.

Real Quick MMA Note Here...

It's midnight and my insomniac ass is awake and posting... just a quick hit here.

I just got to watch the WEC Featherweight title match between Urijah Faber and Jens Pulver. If you guys are into Mixed Martial Arts and you haven't seen this fight, and this entire card, you need to check it out. WEC is on the Versus channel, you know, that backwater sports network that shows all the NHL games now.

This was an outstanding 5 round fight between two absolutely world class guys with chins of steel. This fight absolutely put that Kimbo EliteXC shit to shame. This was everything that a fight, whether you're watching boxing or MMA or cockfighting or whatever, should be. I'm thankful that I got to see it, and I'm actually glad that Versus is going to air this card about 7,400 more times in the next month, because I'll get to watch it again.

Faber and Pulver absolutely put on the best show I've ever seen in an MMA match. Clean striking, versatile, tactical grappling... and the kind of back-and-fourth action that you don't forget. So yeah, check that shit out if you get the chance.
