McKenzie Sewell: Sports Idiot 3-6-13

Welcome. Today, you all shall learn how much of a cruel and heartless bastard I am.

My nomination for sports idiot of the day is a helpless high school basketball player. Even the Old Testament God would show mercy against such a young boy's soul. I'd make him wander through the desert for 40 years.


Actually, God would make this high school basketball player wander through the desert because he's 22 years old.

Drake Britton (Boston Red Sox): Sports Idiot 3-5-13

Congratulations to Boston Red Sox prospect Drake Britton for being too much of an idiot to call a cab when he was drunk. And driving 111 mph.

Since guns and alcohol don't mix, keep this boy away from Bryce Brentz!

Levi Austin: Sports Idiot 3-4-13

WWE owner Vince McMahon had it all wrong when he created the XFL (Xtreme Football League). What McMahon really needed was the XBL: Xtreme Baseball League. And the first player he could sign? Levi Austin.

Austin is a pitcher for Berry College, a small college in the Southern Athletic Association. Watch this video from Yahoo! Sports Minute. If that doesn't work for some reason, check it out on YouTube (although YouTube doesn't have explanation of what happened).

Brandon Barden (Tennessee Titans): Sports Idiot 3-1-13

Tennessee Titans tight end Brandon Barden was arrested and charged with a DUI in a rollover truck crash. Apparently, Barden doesn't understand the rule for getting in trouble as a NFL player.

Kenny Britt and other first-round picks who have great potential have "Incident forgiveness." They're allowed 15.5 police incidents before the franchise puts them in timeout. Releases come shortly after that.

An undrafted free agent who is the No. 4 tight end on the roster (could be No. 3 if Jared Cook leaves)? Good luck—good bye?  

Asylum For Sports Idiots: February 2013

Let's welcome our second class of monthly inductees. If you missed it, here was the initial class of idiots. Congratulations to everyone!

Steve Buckhantz (Washington Wizards): Sports Idiot 2-28-13

DAGGER RETRACTED!

Washington Wizards announcer Steve Buckhantz got a little excited for what he thought was a game-winning three-point basket. In reality, it was an airball. Take a look:

Can't really blame him. Detroit Pistons announcers also thought it went in. I probably would've done the same thing.

Just imagine if this were a college basketball upset. Everyone storms the court because they think they won the game. Now that would be awkward.
