[1] Who's [Crazy] Now?
After promising not to jump on the ESPN-bashing bandwagon, I'm going to join for a quick ride. But no run-of-the-mill whining...we've got a specific problem...and we've always been taught to not just voice the beef, but try to propose a solution.
As bad as Sportscenter has become, I still watch almost every night. However, the ridiculous Who's Now? garbage is becoming intolerable. It's during those mind-numbing minutes I actually find myself flipping over to NY1 to check the weather. It's that bad.
So, here's the solution. It's simple. One word actually. Throw in the word "crazy." No, seriously. Think about the level of entertainment a "Who's Crazy Now?" tournament could create. There would be no channel-surfing for me.
And, frankly, there's not a lot the programming fellas at ESPN would need to do. Same basic idea, online voting, panel of experts, keep your brackets and all. Only the premise would be this: who's the craziest athlete in sports today. Period. The most looney tunes, certifiable nutbag. We'd have to limit it to active players, otherwise we'd have Iron Mike (this compilation is R-rated, but unreal) coasting to the finals.
But that wouldn't take away from the excitement. Can you imagine the chatter? Who should be the #1 seed in the Southeast bracket? Michael Vick or Pac-Man Jones? What about Gary Sheffield? Could John Daly make a run? What would the odds be on Stephen Jackson or Ron Artest? T.O., perhaps? There are sleepers out there, too. Hotheads like Tony Stewart and Julian Tavarez. Could be lower seeds, but watch out.
For my money, I'd have to go with Elijah Dukes. He 's my favorite.
If anyone at ESPN's listening, let's get this done. For now, I ask my faithful readers and visitors to help spread the word.
