No One Deserves it More

Back to a serious matter today, that being those in sports who deserve exactly what they get.
Mike Nifong, former prosecutor in the Duke lacrosse rape case, has been forced to file for bankruptcy, citing 2 major lawsuits totaling over $180M in possible judgements against him. After publicly displaying a complete cranial vacuum in slashing the reputations of those players, failing to follow legal procedures contained in a criminal Cliff Notes, and believing a gutter born hooker with no backing evidence, going broke means Nifong is getting off easy. While we must always try to muster compassion for our fellow man, I would rather grovel at the altar of Barry Bonds before granting this reprehensible individual a breath of stale air.
Pacman Jones, proving once again the being able to walk upright does not always mean working brain cells are present, pops a female lawyer in the face at an Atlanta strip club. Easy sparky, she was there in an official capacity dealing with a divorce case. This the same Einstein already involved in a court case from a Las Vegas strip club that involved a shooting leading to one man being paralyzed. The NFL recently did the smart thing and filed to separate themselves from a lawsuit filed against this bullet head. Let us hope the NFL takes the unprecedented step of issuing a permanent lifetime ban again Jones, leading to a conviction in any one case, and bidding him farewell for a long and relaxing time in the Graybar Hotel learning how to say "Yes Dear" to his cellmate.
Finally, the rumble of a real live match fixing scandal in tennis. This the sport that has long been populated by diaper wearing bubble babies who see themselves as genetically superior to we poor mortals. The same ones who treat the ticket buying public as little more than buzzing gnats there merely to worship them. The sport that forgives Martina Hingis for doing blow around the world because she's just a misunderstood poor little rich girl who never had someone to teach her any better. Allow me to cast one vote for the sport being faulted for being rife in match fixing and a plethora of evidence damning a good number of these whiners, perhaps to join Pacman and Nifong punching license plates.
Here's hoping they all get what they deserve, allowing sport to become that much cleaner in nature.
