That Guy Of The Week

Don't call it a comeback!  Here comes our third straight post in three weeks.  I know, maybe this blog is back afterr all.  I am noticing a pattern. 

It seems that Fridays are good days for me to post, for whatever reason, so let's make this the deadline for the That Guy Of The Week award.   I think it seems fitting because I saw more Burnt Biscuits handed out by Ed Whalen on Friday nights than any other day of the week.  So if you have a suggestion, just email me at hochhawt@gmail.com.  Because without cable my exposure to sports is limited these days. 

So without further ado....Kobe Bryant.  What a douche bag.

Let's just be the first to admit that I have called people the same exact thing as Kobe Bryant did.  I'm not proud of myself, and I am not above Black Mamba because of his actions.  But as an employee of the Los Angeles Lakers (That Guy Sports #3 most hated team in the NBA) and person who always has a camera on him, especially during a nationally telecast game, you have to watch what you say.  Even if it means you said it with the "South Park" definition. 

By the way, let's go back to the South Park definition of the word fag.

Fag n.

1. An extremely annoying, inconsiderate person most commonly associated with Harley riders.

2.  A loud and obnoxious person who owns or frequently rides a Harley.

Hey Kobe, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.  And don't act like you didn't hang out with Karl Malone. 

But what has become more of a tiresome act by Bryant is his tantrums that he constantly never gets punished for.  Did you see how he acted when he got to the bench after receiving his technical?  He punches his chair and continues to go after the official.  How did that not get Kobe his second technical?  Maybe because the NBA wanted the Lakers to win to avoid becoming the 3rd seed or worse?  Or maybe it's because one more technical foul meant a game suspension for Black Mamba?  To think, if Kobe was suspended for that last game at Sacramento, the NBA would have never been able to rip the hearts out of Kings fans one more time.

Regardless, we at That Guy Sports are sick and tired of the antics of Kobe Bryant and it has nothing to do with his playing skills or the team he plays for.  This guy has destroyed a dynasty because he couldn't play second fiddle to the greatest center of a generation, got caught cheating on his wife while being accused of rape, and gets more foul calls in his favor since Michael Jordan.  I will give him all the credit that is due to him, like one of the top 5 "individual" basketball players of all time, a ruthless competitor, and That Guy Of The Week.
