In a phone interview with the Chicago Sun-Times last week, Charlena Rector, the mother of beleaguered Cubs OF Milton Bradley, tried to come to her son’s aid and flesh out the motivation behind the recent frustrations that eventually led to his season-ending suspension.
Without even detailing exactly what Rector said, you just know there’s a whopper coming. Can you feel it?
Here’s a recap of the weirdest or most overlooked sports stories on the Interweb this week. Plus, as you’ve come to expect, in this space, no one can hear you scream.
Imagine you had a dirty joke that you like telling in familiar company. This joke you’re imagining is filthy. Heinous. The kind of joke that demands you hunch your shoulders and lean in close to the people you tell it to. Handled properly, there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with these jokes (although there might be something wrong with you for thinking they’re funny), but their relative harmlessness doesn’t mean you’d want to tell this joke over a bullhorn to a group of randomly gathered strangers either.
See? Celtic swingman Marquis Daniels doesn’t get that.
