MORON OF THE WEEK



Its time for the new weekly award. This award is giving to the athlete, coach, team, management, or some bonehead each week for their ability to not use the brain God gave them. There were many candidates for the honor of being the first moron chosen, but some how I have narrowed it down to one.


This man makes me smack myself in the head, just yesterday I was praising him for his coaching style. Now he goes and pulls off a stupid stunt like this. tsk..tsk. He was surrounded by talent at his recent coaching assignment. But one cannot blame him for leaving that team though, management recently added an aging big man which completely slowed down the movement of the team. A philosophical issue led to our winner's recent decision to move on to a new challenge.


But what makes this man stand out is his eyes for the ole' mighty dollar. The dollar signs got so big in his eyes that it blinded him to the talent levels (or lack their of) on his new team. What makes his decision even more disturbing is there was another young team looking for his coaching leadership, a team that had players that would fit his style of play. Instead of being smart, this individual decided to take the way of misery.




the winner is...



Goodluck Mike D'Antoni, I believe you have found the challenge you wanted. When Donnie Walsh is shaking his head in shame, Stephon Marbury is being his self, and Eddie Curry is huffing and puffing up the floor after the first two minutes, you will think back to the moment you chose money over brains.
