Self Un-Aware Asshole of the Week 1/26-2/1

Welcome to the Self Un-Aware Asshole Of The Week. Here we keep tabs on the most delusional, uninformed, and least respectful statements, gestures and actions related to pro sports, and rehash them for your entertainment every week. Here are this weeks contestants:

Bryant McKinnie, Offensive Tackle, Minnesota Vikings:

When Bryant McKinnie was selected for the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl, pundits screamed that he was wholly undeserving of the honor. McKinnie proved them right, and then some, by going AWOL in Miami and not showing up to practice. He was kicked off the team the day before the game, forfeiting his chance at earning the $45,000 winners share, and leaving his teammates in a bind. McKinnie obviously has no shame, as evidenced by the fact that he performed cunnilingus on a woman infront of the boat crew and guests on the infamous 2005 Minnesota Viking Sex Boat Scandal, but now he has dug himself into another kind of hole.

The National Football League:

As terrible an idea it was to move the Pro Bowl to the week before the Super Bowl, the NFL made an even bigger blunder this year. They decided the best place to showcase the 2010 Pro Bowl Logo was on the small of the back, exactly where a tramp stamp would go. If there weren’t enough reasons already to not watch the Pro Bowl, now you have to worry that it can turn your child into this;

Paul Shirley:

It takes a big man to kick Haiti when its down, and professional basketball player/blogger Paul Shirley is 6′10. Shirley, who has played on 13 different professional teams, took it upon himself to write a scathing letter to the people of Haiti in the wake of the massive earthquake that killed 200,000 people. Here are some of the highlights:

“…I don’t give money to homeless men on the street…. I don’t think the people of Haiti will do much with my money either.”

“As we prepare to assist you in this difficult time, a polite request: If it’s possible, could you not re-build your island home in the image of its predecessor? Could you not resort to the creation of flimsy shanty- and shack-towns? And could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?”

And the winner of the Self Un-Aware Asshole Of The Week is (drumroll) Paul Shirley. Those Haitians need to pick themselves up out of the rubble and by the boot straps and become professional basketball players, because thats what he did!
