* Usually ESPN will throw out a story on SportsCenter or College Gameday and it will be some sob tearjerker about a Coaches' sick kid or a special needs kid in H.S. making a trick shot, and it's really just shown for rating's sake, But one story that the Worldwide Sports Leader should tell is one of their own current workers, Analyst Jay Williams. Bulls fans like me remember Jay for being the dumbass who crashed his bike on the North Side and ruined his career, as well as wasting our #2 draft pick in 2002 (Yao Ming went 1st... so Jay wasn't the biggest bust ever) But this
New York Times article tells the true story of the struggles and obstacles he overcame to get where he is now. This is a must-read, feel-good story. After reading this, I have a new respect for Jay and I have personally forgiven him for his mistake a decade ago. Plus the lucky S.O.B is dating
Charissa Thompson.
* So, for those who follow this kind of stuff, Pope Benedict XVI is stepping down from his
Grand Wizard World Heavyweight Title Holy Seat at the end of the month. I was trapped in Catholic High School when he was named Pope, and as the house bookie, I drew up real odds on who would be the next in line. Benedict (Real Name: Joe Ratzinger) cashed in at 5/2 odds (only 2 kids won if I can recall)
Without further ado, here are my quoted odds for the next Pope:
Cardinal Angelo Bagansco (Real Cardinal in Italy) 8/5
Father Guido Sarducci (Chain-smoking priest) 75 - 1
Benny Hinn (Scammy Arab Pastor) 100 - 1
Creflo Dollar (Scammy Black Preacher) 125 - 1
Father Michael Pfleger (Chicago Pastor/Activist) 300 - 1
Spirit of Truth Minster (Flowin' from the Survival Scrolls, Biatch!) 475 - 1
Chris Berman (ESPN Patriarch) 500 - 1
Ozzy Osbourne (Prince of Darkness) 666 - 1
Sally Field (former Flying Nun) 1250 - 1
Horse Head Guy during Hurricane Sandy (Badass) 1500 - 1
Jesus (Might be a good time for a comeback, right?) 3500 - 1
