Friday Fryer (June 16, 2006)

by user Christof

It is Friday! And it is time once again to honor the individual in the world of sports who has embarassed himself or herself the most during the week.

The competition was very tough this week. First, you have Dick Pound, the international sports drug czar, spewing stupidity again this week. His comments about the NHL drug testing program nearly got him the honor of going to the chair this week, but he came up just short. Do not worry, Dick, the Tour De France is about to begin. You will be honored then. I promise!

Another near winner was the United States soccer team. The U.S. performance in their first game of the 2006 FIFA World Cup was just brutal. Really, if you guys do not want to show up to play, have the courage to forfeit the match prior to its starting. With another week of the World Cup left, the U.S. soccer team is the favorite to go to the chair next week.

And now to the winner...Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The Super Bowl winning QB may be able to dodge a blitzing linemen, but he cannot avoid a car driven by a granny. Add to that that he was not wearing a helmet and that results in a fractured jaw, loss teeth, and a nasty gash in his head. Way to go Ben! Now your NFL season may be lost. Congrats...and for that you get the honor to go the chair in the Friday Fryer!

Right on the $$ Christof, I think Big Ben's going to have to win another championship to wipe away this embarassment.

Big Ben ain't going to win that 2nd championship this year. I already saw the Steelets dropping off, with the loss of the Bus and the Supoer Bowl hang-over. Now, with Big Ben playing basketball with his head on the bike, I can see the Steelers missing the playoffs completely. There is also talk of Cowher retiring shortly.

Chris, the SB hangover applies to the loser. The thing is, I can't think of anything that made the steelers better, they actually lost a lot. Plus, they barely made the playoffs this year, they had to injure the bengals QB to beat them and they really had a series of lucky plays to beat the Colts.

The SB hnagover applies to both teams, though it is much more severe with the losing side. Did Denver ake it to the playoffs the year after they won their second SB? What about the Ravens? Or the Pats after their first SB.

Denver lost their best player...and that was after a repeat - I think they also made the playoffs the next year

Ne England ran into injury trouble, severe injury trouble... I believe a lot of personal moves came for the ravens (Kyle Boller)

But think about all the other teams that were successful the year after winning hte SB versus the loser, the losers usually do worse...

the point is the Steelers are still going to the play offs, Big Ben is out of the hospital and while he will have scars on his face for the rest of his life, he had no sever injuries. Big Ben will be completely healthy by training camp.
