A look at the sports week's biggest losers…
by Christof



Welcome to an early Friday evening edition of the Friday Fryer, where we take a look at who was the sports world's biggest idiot this week. We are truly in the slow period in the sports’ year calendar. Nonetheless, many athletes still deserve the Friday Fryer Chair. So without any further delay, let’s go take a look at our three finalists and, of course, the person or team who is being dipped into the Fryer....

THE FINALISTS
Michael Vick
It is never a good thing to see the Feds with a warrant and a U-Haul truck, to carry away evidence, at your door. This is what Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick would have seen if he was at his property in Virginia.

The Feds are in hot pursuit of Vick over a potential dog fighting ring that Vick may have be participating in. At the very least, it seems quite apparent that Vick’s property was used in connection to dog fighting. This is not good thing, for dog fighting is against the law.

The off-field issues of dog fighting is not helping Michael Vick with his [[football][ career. Since last year, the Falcons have replaced their head coach. There are also whispers that Vick days are numbered in Atlanta. Why? Well it is because that Vick, although a fantastic offense, has never matured into a fantastic NFL quarterback. He wins with his legs and running, however, as a quarterback, you need to win with your arm and passing.

By becoming entangled with dog fighting, Vick just gives the Falcons an easier path to release him at some time in the future. So much talent, so little results – all because an athlete is a mental midget. Nonetheless, by being one, it does allow the athlete a chance at getting the Friday Fryer Chair. This time, it only gets Vick a nomination. Better luck next time, dude!

 
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays
The D-Rays are on an eleven game losing streak. They again sit in last place in the AL East. Where there was once hope early on during the 2007 season, now only hopelessness reigns. Thus, The Devil Rays earn a nomination for the Friday Fryer Chair this week.

Will the Devil Rays ever finish with a record above .500. Forget talk of the post-season, I really don’t know if this club will ever have a winning season. Period. This franchise is the worse in baseball, and that says a lot.

Actually, an honest argument can be made that the Devil Rays are the worse franchise is all of professional sports in North America. I guess the Devil Rays can be proud of that dishonor. They can also be proud of earning a Friday Fryer nomination as well.

 
Michelle Wie
Only a few years ago, Wie was considered a child prodigy. She was going to take the LGPA like Tiger Woods took the PGA. Nowadays, at 17, Wie is considered simply an immature brat.

Wie’s meltdown has not been limited to her on the course place. She has become abrasive and arrogant, to fellow golfers, to sponsors, and to fans alike. This misbehavior seems only to be getting worse, not better.

There is something to be said about being pushed too far and too hard before one is ready. When this happens, the ending is never pretty. It is too early to say that this is the case with Wie, however, the evidence is beginning to mount. Thus, if it is true, then Wie will be earning the Friday Fryer Chair many times in the near future. This week, however, she only gets a nomination.

AND THE LOSER IS . . .
Mike Hargrove
The Friday Fryer Chair goes to former Seattle Mariners manager Mike Hargrove. It seems as though Mike decided that he had enough with baseball as a career. Hence, Mike decided to quit as Seattle’s manager this past week.

Mike could not have picked a better time to quit. The Mariners were on an eight game winning streak when he tapped out. The problem is: WHY DO YOU QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON?

Mike could not even wait for the All Star break. His only comment was that, after 35 years in the sport, he had enough with baseball. Well, Mike, you do not have to worry. No MLB team in their right mind will allow you to manage again.

I am a person who demands the best from other people. My motto – give me everything you have and I will have you back. Mike Hargrove’s motto must be – give me everything you have and I will be there until I get tired. Hence, Mike Hargrove gets the Friday Fryer Chair.

Until next Friday, AMF.
