Hello all. It is time to announce this weeks Top 10 Failures. Let's start it off with number 10. Phil Mickelson's wedge caused quite a stir, and even though I love Phil, using a club that you find in your garage to try to get around the rules can help find your way onto this list. Scott McCarron has been flip flopping back and forth on whether he thinks Phil is cheating or just bending the rules and this debacle probably hasn't been what Phil wanted since taking over for Tiger as the king of the swing.
On to number 9, the Pro Bowl preceding the Super Bowl. First of all, no one cares about the Pro Bowl. Second, there are some players that actually want to go, especially if it is their first selection. And finally, just look at the rosters. Are 8 of the 16 AFC quarterbacks really deserving of a Pro Bowl selection? If it is suppose to be an honor to be selected, well this is an awful way of showing it.
Number 8. Tiger Woods Affair. Yeah, yeah, I know everyone is sick of hearing about it. Did you hear Tiger changed his name to Cheetah? What's the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards. I know they are all getting old by now but this is still one of the biggest failures around.
Number 7. Allen Iverson being voted in as an All-Star. This is a game for the fans but it is still a joke. Many of the voters probably didn't recognize the new stars of the league and voted him in by name only. Sorry AI but the only Answer to this problem is for you to fake an injury.
Number 6. The NCAA's talks to expand the basketball tournament to 96 teams. This would be an absolute disgrace. I'm a huge fan of the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Minnesota Golden Gophers but at this point, I don't feel like either team is deserving of a tournament selection. While both teams definitely have a chance to turn it around, with the change to 96 teams, both would be locks to make it. This completely takes away the meaning of having a regular season. Seems backwards that the NCAA wants college football's regular season to mean so much but at the same time throw college basketball's under the bus. Just goes to show how much an extra buck means to collegiate sports.
Number 5. The Texas Longhorns slump after reaching number 1. Losing 4 of 6 is bad enough for any team, but for a potential number 1 seed? Come on. However, this could all change with a big win over Kansas tonight. Aaron is a big Jayhawks fan so I wouldn't mind getting the chance to remove this from the list next week.
Number 4. The New Jersey Nets. This could definitely be number one but how much can we beat up on a team that is this unlucky? Well at least it isn't the Timberwolves anymore.
Number 3. Warren Sapp's battery charges. Sapp supposedly assaulted a woman because she wouldn't leave his room when he was expecting company. Where did her swollen knee and bruises come from? Sapp says she fell when he tried to help her off the couch. You stay classy Warren!
Number 2. Lane Kiffin offers scholarship to 13-year-old. This is just absurd. I've coached little league baseball for the previous 2 summers and can tell you from experience, no 11, 12, or 13 year old is mature enough to start thinking about his future at that age. Now, I'll be the first to tell you that this kid is good, but how about we let kids be kids? Maybe I'm just jealous that this kids is more successful at 13 than I will probably be in my entire life but this is still a complete joke.
And now for number 1, Bryant McKinnie getting kicked off the NFC Pro Bowl team. Now, he may have actually just been hurt and the trainers failed to inform this team, as he claims, but based off of his twitter account, he definitely didn't have any troubles with injuries to stop him from hitting up the clubs. While I'm on the subject of Twitter, don't forget to follow us at 12thManInTheHud. Well, that's it for this weeks Top 10 Failures. Questions, comments, suggestions? Something that we missed? Leave a comment below or send an email to the12thmaninthehuddle@gmail.com and we will try to make amends for it next week.
