Johnny Foosball & Odd Sports Injuries

Johnny Foosball & Odd Sports Injuries

It's 2 for Tuesday today and man am I excited to get to some lighter stuff after a semi-depressing Manic Monday, which will only get worse once football season starts and the Jets and Giants are racking up losses with reckless abandon (well, I hope not…but probably).

As previously mentioned at Grilled Cheese Sports and just about every other sports website, TV show, water cooler or family BBQ - Johnny Manziel has been making headlines since being drafted 22nd overall by the Cleveland Browns in this year's NFL Draft.  Whether it's doing blow in the women's room, throwing money around like it's his last day on Earf or getting silly on social media he has been a very, very busy boy.  

During last night's Monday Night Football game (pre-season so no one really watched it) the Redskins played the Browns and it apparently got a little heated…at least in Manziel's head.  During one of the plays he ended up by the Redskins sideline and for reasons only known to him, he flipped the bird to the Redskins players.

Seems he did not take too kindly to the Redskins pointing out to him that this was not college and in fact was the NFL.  Not sure why that would get you fired up…pretty sure the uniforms that everyone is wearing has the NFL logo on it.  They said that the defenses were faster than him…again, not sure why that would make him flip the bird.  Everyone's 40 yard dash time is published on some website somewhere from their NFL combine days - Combine Database.  Not a mystery that he is playing in the NFL (not college) and that the defensive players are faster than many he faced in college and probably much faster than he is…BUT here's the thing, oh wait…there isn't a thing.  Johnny Foosball is just dumb.  He is some clown who is good/great (especially at the college level) and that's about it.  I am sure he will rise to the mediocre level the Browns expect of themselves but probably nothing more.  It won't be entirely his fault, as the Browns have holes all over the field…even more so with Josh Gordon most likely out for the season after his 14th drug related infraction.  Good luck Johnny - it's going to be a rough one!

Oddly Ridiculous Sports Injuries!

I am going to make this one into a list because the hilarity doesn't really need that much color (all of which led to missing games) - 

1.  Marty Cordova - missed time due to a severe sunburn because he fell asleep in a tanning bed
2.  Wade Boggs - strained back while pulling on his cowboy boots
3.  Ricky Henderson - acquired frostbite from prolonged exposure to…you guessed it, an ice pack
4.  Matt Cain - sliced hand open while cutting crust off of sandwich, actually crust was removed…cut hand while cutting bread into triangles
5.  Sammy Sosa - pulls muscle in his back after a violent sneeze (I think it was a 'roid sneeze)
6.  Joel Zumaya - missed 3 games with an injured wrist from of all things playing Guitar Hero

That about wraps it up for today!

Was just about to sign off for the day but I figured I would drop this one on you…you're welcome! - Suarez Claims "No More Biting!"

Happy Watching!!
