This whole thing where ex-athlete commentators (or their stylists – apparently that’s a profession) get to pick out their own suits for covering games is way out of control. Someone get Magic Johnson, Michael Irvin, and Emmit Smith under some sort of strict wardrobe guidelines or I'm going to lose my mind. They have a fucking dress code for NBA players showing up to a basketball game and walking through the back door and then they let Magic Johnson broadcast a whole game in the technicolor dream coat from hell? That thing would burn the eyeballs out of anyone having to look directly at it in person like a nuclear blast. Are... you FUCKING kidding me?


Secondly, I’m instantly sick of this whole post-game handshake snub drama bullshit. Nothing makes you more of a little bitch then calling out someone in the media for not shaking your hand and making you feel special after either you won and he's pissed, or he won and is in the middle of celebrating. I’m looking at you here, Dwight Howard and the entire Red Wings hockey club. Get yourself some fucking tissues because there was someone in the building who didn't respect you for being the special, needy little snowflake that you are and get the fuck over it. Being too pissed to shake your hand after the game is not disrespectful. It means that dude really, really wanted to beat you, and that's what you should want. If anything you should be hoping he's too upset to shake your hand if you're really competitive. Respect happens on the court. By not playing dirty; by playing your opponent hard without cheating and accepting that some times you will get beat by other good players. That's respect. It has fuckall to do with that bullshit handshake for the media’s sake that happens after the game. That's what pro athletes have to do. And now we know that more than ever. I can't believe that shit like that is making headline sports news. Less drama, ESPN. That's what shows like The Hills is for. I watch sports.
