Amechi's out..tyson's going in..and can someone feed artests dog

In accordance with his book release recently John Amechi, the six foot ten former NBA center out of Penn state, has announced his coming out party. He is the only NBA player ever, past or present, to formally announce that fact. This is quite a bold and admirable move in a sports culture that doesn't exactly want to hear these things. Sports as a whole doesn't exactly deny that there have been gay athletes over the years, but they certainly don't want them to take center stage...after all imagine the ole' good play tap with a little extra squeezing of the charmin...for shame. But, i guess he should be applauded or something, no other athlete i can remember has taken such a public stance as this, to be rumored is one thing but to stand up and say publicly something that is so taboo is another.
Also in the news this week is the report that Mike Tyson has reportedly checked into a drug rehab center to counteract the arrest he had on felony drug charges..bravo Tyson that is bound to work. He was quoted as saying that he uses cocaine "whenever he can get his hands on it." Well since he cant seem to get his hands on anyone else in a fight, he obviously is in that post fight stage in his life that seems to me might be much more dangerous for him than any Las Vegas ten round night. Good luck mike, and good luck with that tonga war tattoo on your face when you're sixty...if you make it there.
Animal service officers recently seized the great dane of NBA star and notorious scrap happy Ron Artest this week. Neighbors apparently complained for weeks that the dog appeared starving and noticeably neglected. So, after a weeks notice, the animal cops show up and take the dog away. So upset by this matter (could you imagine how far it would have to go for neighbors to notice let alone take action) that the gated community has a plan to vote on new guidelines that would require homeowners to properly care for their animals. Ok sure, so it might be a case of people in a gated community looking out their windows and nothing better to do. But, come on artest, you wake up in your mansion and slop some gravy train down in marmadukes bowl...its not that hard...what an idiot.
Finally, this story is the ultimate show of either stupidity or maybe just maybe the worlds only true die hard fan, you decide. Scott Wiese a 26 year old bears fan told friends that his beloved bears would absolutely win the super bowl. If, in a show of idiocy, his bears did not win he would change his name to Peyton Manning. He even signed a petition at Katz piano bar in Decatur last week in front of two hundred people to drive his point home. Well as we all know sadly for scotty his bears lost, and so just like any dutiful fan would do...right...he trudged to the Macon Co. courts facility to file the paperwork..atta boy scotty...you just earned yourself the stupidest fan move of the year...congratulations. Hey everybody ( in dufus manning voice) I'm peyton manning)...

I'm not sure I qualify for communicating with this blog because of it's name...but since I have a new house guest that watches an abundant amount of sports shows in my presence I feel some of my thoughts on sports may be valid.
I'll re-read the "Amechi's out...blog and see if I can uncover anything I can understand.

Oh, the topsy-turvy world of professional sport. You got gays, you got emaciated Great Danes, you got psychologically twisted ear-biting boxers on coke. And that Bears fan just wanted to get his name in Maxim.
