President Obama today named Steelers’ owner Dan Rooney as the US Ambassador to Ireland. Fitting that it was on St. Patrick’s Day.
Congrats to Dan Rooney who epitomizes what this blog stands for. Passion for sports and politics.
I’m not sure where he stands on nonsense. But, we like that too. So here’s some more of that:
A-Rod – Crazy pictures from upcoming Details magazine came out today. Do you have to love or hate this guy? Is he misguided or mentally ill? For what it’s worth, I’ve rarely seen an athlete gifted with so much work so hard to find ways to get people not to love him while not being a really bad guy. Anyway, here’s a link – you decide! http://men.style.com/details/features/landing?id=content_8397
Charlie Villanueva- Speaking of crazy and nonsense… Villanueva tweeted during half time of a recent game against the Celtics. The Bucks, fighting for their playoff lives, were not amused. In fairness, he tweeted that he had to step it up and then did in the second half.
Not sure if Villanueva or the NBA looks dumber here. Villanueva had to know it wouldn’t look good for him to tweet at halftime. On the other hand, maybe the NBA is missing a golden opportunity. If football coaches are forced to give sideline interviews at half time and hockey players do interviews between periods, than maybe the NBA should be encouraging all its players to follow in Villanueva’s footsteps.
Nothing like giving the fan an inside view after all… Just ask A Rod!
