Just read that Darryl Strawberry celebrated his 40th birthday by being kicked out of a drug treatment center and sent to jail as a result of repeatedly breaking rules, including a ban against sex between residents.
Darryl admitted having sex with a female resident, but said he never thought the punishment would be as severe as being kicked out of the program. He seems to be bent on proving that no matter how many chances he gets, he will continue to find new ways to screw up.
Darryl has long been a member of AWAC - Athletes/celebrities Without A Clue. Who else would you nominate as officers, founding members, or prospective candidates for this not exactly elite club? Tho I have several names in mind, I’ll let you offer your nominations first.
Well, just this week we have had star AFL player Wayne Carey reuin his career over an affair with his Kangaroo’s vice captain and best friend, Anthony Steven’s wife.
Apparently he was caught by Stevens in a toilet with her at a teammate’s birthday party.
It’s not the first time Carey has been in trouble - a few years ago he was done on a sexual harrassment charge after grabbing a woman’s breast outside a nightclub and telling her that “She should get bigger tits”.
Carey is actually rated as one of the best footballers of recent times, but it looks like this is what he’ll be remembered for.
The story also has also demonstrated the insanity of some Aussie Rules fans. In my local newspaper (The Courier Mail) this morning, there was a quote from a North Melbourne supporter, comparing the Carey situation with September 11. The supporter actually said “I know people died in September 11, but this actually affects people.” What a moron.
While we’re on the subject of the New York Yankees, I’d like to propose Ruben Rivera as a prospective candidate for AWAC.
He had a million-dollar contract with the Yankees.
He stole Derek Jeter’s glove and bat, and sold them to a memorabilia dealer.
He got fired from the Yankees.
How much did he get from the memorabilia dealer? $2,500.
