Talent Prevails....kinda.

This is an article dedicated to the few athletes that had enough athletic ability and talent to overcome the loose screws in their head! I know their are plenty of athletes that could make the list, but I am gonna try to narrow it down to the nuttiest of nuts, for each respected sport, and please feel free to include your own in the comment section below if you disagree or agree with my choices! LETS GET IT ON!(oh and BTW I have decided to write this new article while listening to a mixture of system of a down and deftones, seemed fitting!)

NBA: DENNIS RODMAN


Arguably one of the best rebounders of all time, this dude definitely didn't let his rebounding do the talking on or off the court(actually he had some of the best rebound chicks in the game, but that calls for a different article!). In fact, he was the most interesting man in the NBA for most of the 90's! You never knew what his hair color was going to be, what "B" list celebrity girlfriend was going to be in the stands, even the camera men weren't safe (i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-NDZGtU7So)! Look, this all could have been an act, a way to get attention, or maybe this dude is really nuts! I am thinking the latter! Whatever the case was, it worked in his favor! Just think if you had to guard a guy like that, or had to battle him for a rebound, I wouldn't do it, I would just give him the free pass to the bucket. The man was a walking STD!!! Maybe that's why he was such a great rebounder, no one wanted to get in his way in fear of getting infected! All jokes aside you can't argue with his numbers...Over 911 games Dennis the menace pulled in 11,954 rebounds, which is an amazing 13.1 rebounds a game! He has rebounded a career high 34 rebounds in one game, that's cleaning more glass than a bottle of Windex(damn, that was a bad joke! sorry!). Oh and besides rebounding, he won 5 NBA rings, you can probably find at least two of them for sale at the Pawn Stars shop!

NFL: ORENTHAL JAMES SIMPSON



Okay, I feel bad putting that mug shot up, dude looks really, really sad! I would be too if I was in his situation! I am not going into detail about the murders we all know what happened and although he was found not guilty, the Las Vegas Jury selection in 2008 was not going to let him get off the hook a second time. Damn Hollywood and their judicial system when it comes to celebrities(i.e Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Lohan again, oh and Lohan again)! Long story short "the Juice" was charged with numerous felonies including armed robbery and kidnapping and is now currently serving in Lovelock, NV for at least nine years!
He was a two time All-American at USC, he led the nation in rushing both those years. The Juice ran in the sprint relay in Provo, UT in 1967 where his relay team held the world record after that race! He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1985, the first year he was eligible! He did many T.V. endorsements, football analysis, and appeared in movies, anyone remember the Naked Gun trilogy??? The black dude in the wheel chair that fell off the upper deck at the Dodger game in that movie...yup that was the Juice! Hey Juice, one piece of advice from the writers here at DNP-CD....Don't drop the soap!!! Good Luck!

PGA:Tiger Woods/John Daly

(Ladies....he is pointing at you!!!!)

Okay, So the only sport we have two off the wall athletes to showcase is the gentleman's game, golf. We will focus on Tiger first, his antics OFF the course is which makes him top the golfer screw up list! We all know what happened with Tiger and his many, many, MANY skanks! But the amazing thing is if you could name one athlete that you thought was squeaky clean as far as personal life, professional career, etc. Tiger would be at the top of the list! That's why he made my list, it was the biggest surprise ever! Then when all the sleazy texts/sexts and the list of girls he was with comprised of women from all different backgrounds including porn stars, strippers, club promoters and, of course, a waitress form Perkins, the public couldn't get enough! That still puts a smile on my face, the most paid athlete in all of professional sports ever is hitting on a middle age single parent who happens to work at the Perkins restaurant within a couple miles of his home in Florida. Its okay, if I was coming home to a Swedish blonde bombshell bikini model, I might get sick of her too and just want a nice average woman to bring me some fried chicken, or maybe some steak, or even better some chicken fried steak! Whatever the case is you gotta give some credit to the waitress, great pull, ma'am, great pull! C'mon T-Woods, you're better than that!

2nd stop on the golf crazies...

DALY GONE WILD...hitting a DVD store near you!!!!

"Long" John Daly is known for crushing it off the tee, he is also known for crushing natty lights and high lifes in between holes, and also for sucking down cancer sticks as much as Kirstie Alley sucks down chocolate cake! There has never been a golfer on tour to ever do what Daly has done throughout his career, I am pretty sure Adam Sandler based his character, Happy Gilmore, on Long John! I remember watching a tournament a couple years ago on the golf channel, and no joke, Daly had two sponsors on his golf shirt. On the left side there was the Dunkin Donuts logo, and then off to the right shoulder was a Hooters logo! Soooo good! John used to pull his trailer up to the nearest hooters in whatever tournament he was in and throw parties with the Hooter girls and the men that were there "for the delicious wings"! Awesome!
Daly, although a partier at heart, has one some pretty prestigious PGA tournaments including the Brittish Open back in 1995. He won the PGA Championship in 1991, and made an appearance in Utah in 1987 winning the Ben Hogan Classic! He was also named PGA rookie of the year and has the U.S. Open trophy hiding somewhere in his trailer, probably under all those Hooters take out boxes, and doughnut holes under his bed! The difference between Tiger and Daly is that Jon was only hurting himself by pounding all that beer, and smoking all those cigs. Tiger hurt his colleagues and family and the PGA! Bad Tiger, Bad!

BOXING: MIKE TYSON



I am kinda excited to write about this guy! I mean look at the picture above, don't you just hear that old school NES(Nintendo Entertainment System, try to keep up NEWBS) noise every time Tyson threw that power punch that would leave "lil Mac" out cold?! What an awesome game! We think of Iron Mike as if he is some freak, some crazy dude that has lost more money then most of us will see in a lifetime. But lets skip back like 20 years before the face tat, before the domestic abuse on his wife, before the biting off of Holyfields ear, before the movie the Hangover. There has never been anyone in sports more explosive than "Kid Dynamite". He won his first 19 bouts by knockout and 11 of those knockouts came in the first round...don't blink! Think about that, there was no PPV channels(Pay Per View, c'mon NEWBS!), there were no DVR's if you wanted to watch arguably the greatest heavyweight of all time and you were as little as 5 minutes late to your HBO fight night party, there was a pretty good chance you might have missed the fight all together! Too bad professional boxing has taken a back seat to all the hillbilly, trailer trash, dumb as rock fans that have put MMA up in the drivers seat. I guarantee even at Iron Mikes age and fitness ability right now, he would whoop the shit out of any of those wannabe athletes called MMA fighters! Try to stay classy MMA fan a.k.a. douchebags!!!! That was a lil harsh, but true, none the less!

FOOTBALL/BASEBALL: sorry but there are way too many F*&% ups to write about! haha
But I will leave you with two great videos one from each sport! ENJOY!
