Jamarcus Russell Crapped Out

So Jamarcus Russell has finally arrived as a player… a crappy craps player that is. This according to the noted sportswriting crew at TMZ (is the Rachel Nichols TMZ hire official yet, or Will DisneyAbcEspnAol simply add another acronym???). TMZ, previously noteworthy for its fair and balanced coverage of such landmark moments as Paris Hiltons “leaked” sex tape and Lindsay Lohan taking hacks from the other side of the plate, is obviously seeking to protect its Hollywood turf from ESPN.
ESPN whose acid trip of a Hollywood set would freak out Timothy Leary, had been converging on the Hollywood and sports (as an afterthought) theme long before Walt’s “Imagineers” re-imagined the Sportscenter set by flinging Pantone Orange #21c paint, and adding more swirling lights than the Bellagio and Space Mountain combined. Though it does highlight Chris Bermans rug quite nicely. Rumor has it that the intensity of the UV lights on the Sportscenter set also gave draft “expert” Todd Mcshay (can he spell M-a-y-o-c-k?) that awful “buy 12 tans, get 3 free” bodybuilder look in the 2009 draft.
Has it really come to this Jamarcus???Why does TMZ care about you… why did they feel inclined to title the article (for lack of a better word) “NFL QB JaMarcus Russell — Heavy Bettor“
AFC West expert blogger Bill Williamson of ESPN risked fines and suspensions for straying from his work on the new uber secret ”ESPN Hollywood Squares” program (spoiler alert: every answer is “Yankees, Red Sox, Brett Favre, or Tiger Williams) to comment on Jamarcus…
“Russell’s issues run deeper than his weight. Even if Russell were to show up at 235 pounds, he still must address his fundamentals. He has terrible footwork. He has an atrocious completion percentage – 48.8 percent in 2009. He stares down his intended receiver. He can’t read defenses. He has a poor work ethic and is not a leader. Those are major problems, folks. He has to address each shortcoming before camp and I don’t think he has enough time. The fact that he is actually trying is commendable, but this is the former No. 1 overall pick. There are no excuses. He already should be much further along than he is.” <— sigh, the fucking truth hurts when it comes to the #1 overall pick
So Jamarcus, this could go one of three ways… and since a picture is worth a thousand words, lets see what karma brings the three guys in this eerily cryptic picture below…
