So I’ve been using/have used a multitude of Twitter apps: Tweetr at work, Tweet Deck on my tablet, Twitterberry on my blackberry, adding twitter.com to my Google Talk, etc. I loaded up Tweet Deck tonight (5 minutes ago) and scrolled through some of my replies that I didn’t realize I had. One was from the Dallas Pro Sports guy. His comment was “wow. that’s a pretty harsh reaction” from something I said on the 20th. Well, crap what did I say? Must have been something about the Cowboys and it must have been over something I found stupid. And indeed it was. It was the day the Cowboys announced that the would reinstate Pacman Jones.

I know I bitched about this before, but I hate when people do just outright stupid shit. Especially celebrities. Pacman had ONE DAMN JOB and it was to stay out of trouble. And he couldn’t do it. The night before the NFL made its decision, he fucked up. How? How do you do that? I could understand if it was a child, but this is a grown ass man! He has been given so many chances that I frankly don’t think he deserved another one. Saying “I’m sorry” doesn’t mean shit the 5th time around. Just stop fucking up! But I’m not the commissioner, so what do I know?

And now we have Plaxico Burress. Oh my hell. The news I first heard was “Plaxico was accidentally shot in a nightclub in New York.” Fuck. 1) Why are you in a nightclub when you’re on the injured list? Too hurt to play, too hurt to party. 2) Why were you with someone with a goddamn gun? 3) How the HELL do you “accidentally” get shot in a nightclub? Shooting + nightclub = bad shit all around. The first thing Tico said was “he shot himself.” No way. Yes way. Fucker shot himself in the leg with his own gun. NOOOOOOOO! A safety is not just another position on the field! ARGH! Does money just make you stupid? The hell? He had a gun, an EXPIRED OUT OF STATE concealed carry license, in a nightclub, in New York. Unlawful carrying of a handgun in New York carries a minimum 3 and a half year jail sentence.

And now? Now there’s talk of taking Michael Vick back. Aw hell. Now, I get that he’s paid his debt to society and all that shit, but fuck, is this any guarantee that he won’t continue to do the same shit? My god. Yeah, these guys are getting paid stupid amounts of money to play football. Sure, enjoy your fame, have a little fun, but shit. Learn about limits and boundaries! Guns when you don’t have a valid license? Bad! Dogfighting and burying the corpses? Bad, sick, and 15 kinds of fucked up. Punching people and not reporting to your PAROLE OFFICER? Fucking retarded! Riding a motorcycle without a helmet when everybody fucking told you to wait until you had retired? Moronic! (I’m still pissed at you, Roethlisberger, for that bullshit). Smoking pot? In a job where you get drug tested and can be busted for fucking water pills? Dumb! (Dammit, Ricky.)

These guys are fantastic players. Maybe that’s why it pisses me off so much. Great players, tremendous assets to their teams…and they seem to just throw it all away doing stupid shit. Just tossing aside all the opportunities they’ve earned. Ugh!

So here’s my final entreaty for the night: STOP DOING STUPID SHIT AND JUST PLAY FOOTBALL!
