So, today the NBA levied full season suspensions for Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton (although Arenas may be spending some time in jail) and this made me wonder why are professional athletes so stupid?
I just don’t understand for the life of me how they can just throw millions of dollars down the drain. Take Adam “Pacman” Jones, he was one the best returners in the NFL and a very good corner, but he couldn’t stay out of strip clubs. Like if it’s that deep Pacman hire strippers to come to your house that way no one can “Hate” on you in the club.
I mean I know these athletes are only human, but they are held to a higher standard because they are in the public eye and make a whole lot of money.
I will never understand the desire to carry guns, drive drunk, fight dogs, fight in strip clubs, and the other dumb stuff they do. I mean when you are that rich and famous you are bound to have a few people who don’t like you and will try you when you’re out at the club. Knowing this…why are you on the dance floor with everyone like an idiot
Ok I’m done ranting, but pro athletes please do better.

NBA All -Star Voting Is a Joke
Ok So, I thought the distinction of having all-star in front your name was something big, but apparently (according to so called experts) being an NBA All-Star doesn't matter.
So they are ok with the fact the Allen Iverson, averaging a career low 14.6 points a game, is a starter for Eastern All-Star team, also the fact that Tracy McGrady a guy who has played like a total of 40 minutes this whole season was leading Steve Nash (who is having a career year) in all star votes.
I know everyone says this is just an exhibition game and the fans should control who they want to see blah blah blah....but when the day comes for Allen Iverson to be inducted in the hall of fame i guarantee one of the things they say is "he was a 10 and now 11 time all star."
They can say it is just a meaningless game but it really isnt, it used to be a thing of honor to play on the NBA all star team, but now all it has become is a popularity contest.
So you're probably wondering "OK Craig you have complained alot, what is your solution." well I think they need to reduce the fans vote to 1/3 vote. This way they still have a voice but we can prevent Allen Iverson and almost Tracy McGrady starting over deserving players who really are NBA All Stars.
