So this week or so has been absolute hell for the world of sports. Anyone else agree?
First, Michael Phelps gets photographed smoking pot. WHAT THE ****. You get drug tested like 3 times a day for a month and the second they stop you go and smoke pot? People looked up to you. The entire world looked up to you. You WERE the greatest athlete of this century until you did one stupid thing and screwed up your life forever. He's going to lose sponsors, team privileges, and a ****load of money. Now I hear he's considering NOT competing in the 2012 London Olympics. Way to screw up your life with one stupid mistake Micheal, you lost all of my respect.
Next, one of the greatest baseball players ever is proven to have used steroids for 3 years. Well done, A-Fraud. I applaud him for coming out and accepting it, and not try to deny it, but it's tough for baseball. Now we cannot believe that ANYTHING that ANY PLAYER does was done without steroids. The best pitcher and the 2 best hitters in years have now lost all credibility (Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and Alex Rodriguez, in case you've been living under a rock for the past year). A-Fraud, A-Roid, whatever you want to call him, he's a cheater and might have very well ruined the last hope for keeping baseball clean.
Now, X-Games gold medalist Jeremy Lusk dies in a motorcycle accident. He attempted a Hart Attack Backflip, under rotated, and landed on his head (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkZuXqRyFI0&feature=related). These "athletes" are taking it too far. Things have become too dangerous, and there is so much money in the sport that people will try these crazy things. Travis Pastrana recently did a backflip off a big-air ramp ON A TRICYCLE. This is a terrible accident for motocross and is something people should think about before they attempt that no hand land double backflip.
Finally, Brett Favre retires. And we all know what that means; he's not retiring. He'll come back and create all this un-needed drama. He'll have his own section on the ESPN crawler, and will have interviews, press conferences, and phone calls every 30 minutes on SportsCenter. Last year I recall him saying that he could not keep playing at such a demanding mental level, even though his body was ready for it. Now he's saying his mind is fine, but his body can't keep up anymore. MAKE UP YOUR MIND. Every time we think he's done, he decides to come back, and every time he has had a good season in the last 5 years, he retires. Don't get me wrong, he's a legend, sure-fire hall of famer, and easily one of the top 3 quarterbacks of all time. There's just too much drama.
Was this the worst week in sports ever? I definitely think so. Discuss.
