Earlier
this month, Mike Ditka called Barack Obama “the worst president we’ve ever
had,” though probably “great to play golf with.” Last week, cornerback Richard Sherman called
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell “just a face” and “just a shirt” for daring to
suggest the automatic ejection of any player after his second personal foul in
a game. Apparently, anyone who’s “never
stepped foot on the field and understood how you can get a personal foul”
shouldn’t make the rules. Talk about a
Gospel story gone rogue.
But
far be it from me to single out football players. Ex-pitcher Curt Schilling can’t seem to go a
day without making a dumb remark. And last
week Adam Eaton of the White Sox said that 14-year old Drake LaRoche “a leader”
in the clubhouse. How can people so
physically gifted sound so stupid? It
really makes me appreciate Charles Barkley.
Maybe Sir Charles can give lessons to fellow athletes on how to keep
foot and mouth separate.
