The STUPID Awards

[Ebony]

I nominate Kobe Bryant and Bobby Brown.


Bobby Brown in Jail

Troubled singer Bobby Brown is back in jail on a probation violation after dining at a restaurant with his superstar wife Whitney Houston. The "My Prerogative" star was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia after an anonymous caller tipped off police. But cops have said they are unable to give details of 33-year-old Bobby's offense. Brown, 33, was taken to the DeKalb County Jail remained in custody Saturday evening, according to a jail official.

Awww! I feel bad for him! That isn't stupid! The stupid awards should go to mankind as a whole because most people are dumb I figured out. Most people don't seem to understand real problems and they focus on other stuff. Not you guys though! You guys rock!

[Ebony]

The reason I said 'stupid' is because he didn't meet any of the conditions of his parole - random drug tests, community service hours, NA meetings twice a week - he did none of this. What did he think would happen.

I nominate Jon Drummond, track runner for actin like a child and throwin a dang tanrum and layin on the track to dispute a disqualifation. Sorry I didn't find a pic yet.

from the article:

The sight of Drummond lying supine on the track staring skyward in defiance as an official stood over him with a menacing red card looked like something out of a Time Life documentary on The Sixties.

(Drummond, by the way, was diagnosed at birth with spina bifida. Doctors told his parents he would never walk. So, of course this is what happens when so-called experts tell him he can't run.)

After several noisy and confusing minutes, Drummond rose to his feet, pranced around in hopes of getting the crowd behind him, bawled in the arms of his coach, and took a dip in the probably-not-chlorinated steeplechase pool. American Olympians -- track stars in particular -- have a tendency to emote, but Drummond made Cassius Clay look like Tim Duncan.

Dag, Jon. Was all that necessary?

This link leads to a side view of what I think is that same picture as well as another article.

I feel bad for Jon after looking at the "false start" I'm siding with Jon. He didn't leave out of the box sooner than the other runners. And the committee went solely by a mechanical device because after looking at pictures the committee had to admit that he didn't leave the box before the other runners. Considering how long and hard these guys train for one event I probably would have pitched a fit too.

Bobby Brown I lubb me some Bobby but when is he going to get it together?

[Dbaby]

Yeah, sorry about sounding kinda mad. I was so ticked off at people yesterday because I read some stuff about the oceans on nationalgeographic.com and I was kinda mad about it all!

[earthangel]

Bobby Brown needs to just give it all up, find some house out where nobody can find him and chill...otherwise he's gonna find himself caught in the spotlight, and now he's headed back to jail...After a while you would think this stuff gets old, but maybe he sees himself as a young man still

As much as Kobe is my rival, I wouldn't call him stupid. But ok, you're right, wasn't the smartest thing to do.

Wish I had someone else to nominate...maybe I'll think of someone later

Football season usually brings out one or two...
Even in the first week of pro ball...
Andy Reid (Philly's coach) for ultra-conservative play-calling in your new stadium on national TV.
Lisa Guerrero (ABC Monday Night Football sideline reporter) for asking Redskins' QB Patrick Ramsey about talking to his "former" wide receiver Lavaurnes Coles
who caught five passes from him that night.
And WHAT was Mike Martz thinking,
letting Kurt Warner play with a concussion?!?
GO 'SKINS!!!!
