Idiot Athletes Part Three

There are some over-paid man-giant athletes out there that I wonder what they would be doing if they were celebrities and in the spotlight constantly. Chad Johnson is one such athlete. If he was not a professional sports athlete I think we would be that guy that parades around downtown in a painted car hollering things about "Jeebus" and the end of the world. This guy loves attention. At first I though some of his football antics were entertaining, then they got absurd and annoying. Now he is getting bizarre off the field during the off-season.

He raced a horse the other night, and to ensure his victory he gave himself a 100 yard lead in a 200 yard dash. I'm all a fan of man vs. beast, but race the horse straight up, none of this lead bullshit. After beating the horse he was talking it up like he was the greatest athlete ever. Next year teams should be given a 21-point lead over the Bengals and then these teams are allowed to smack talk after winning.

Chad Johnson even went on to say he wanted to compete against other athletes in other sports like Nascar, basketball, baseball, and boxing. I wonder if he will demand an absurd lead in those sports to. Maybe he will box FLoyd Mayweather, but Mayweather doesn't get boxing gloves, or Chad Johnson gets a 2X4. Plays Kobe in basketball but Kobe has to wear sandals and play on a 15-foot hoop. Plays Albert Pujols in baseball but Chad Johnson can use a tennis racket and a tee to hit from.

It must be great to need some an ego boost to rig contests to win and than brag all about it like your our God's gift to mankind. But then, Chad Johnson thinks he is God, so he is his own gift to mankind.
