Sportsmoron of the year

The sports world never fails to bring us a nice share of idiots, dolts, morons, boneheads and dumb asses and this year was no different ....

There were the repeat offenders (calling T.O. and Mike Tyson) and new tidbits to keep us shaking our heads...


So who was the Sportsmoron of the Year?


Was it T.O. and his absolutely inept PR team for the was-it-or-wasn't-it- suicide/pill overdose?

Was it the media for the absolute overkill of Barbaro injury updates?

Was it Zinedine Zidane's headbutt of Marco Materazzi that was as unbelievable and inexplicable as it was over-the-top? Remember that this was Zidane's last ever International match. (click here for video)

What about Mike Tyson? The reasons are too numerous to mention, but we can always go with the latest arrest for DUI and felony cocaine possession in which he openly admitted he's an addict.

What about the disgruntled backup punter at Northern Colorado who stabbed the starter? (and how desperate must you be to need to stab someone to be the starter and NORTHERN COLORADO?)

What about OHCO CINCO himself, Chad Johnson and his many, many hijinks?

What about Ben Roethlisberger, with the motorcycle accident, the appendicitis and the concussions?


Could it be the Houston Texans for passing on Reggie Bush and taking Mario Williams instead?.

Now I know next to nothing about the NBA, but even I know naming Isiah Thomas as head coach is a bad idea.

Finally, a homer pick, but I'd be remiss not to put the BCS on this list, for their ridiculous rules and once again having a controversy over that NC game, not to mention Wisconsin being shafted and Notre Dame getting the Sugar Bowl. It's never good when everyone's anticipating the Rose Bowl more than the NC.

So what do we think, who wins the title of Sportsmoron of the Year?
(and did I leave any deserving folks off the list?)
