I decided to try something new with my articles—possibly a weekly occurrence. What I concocted in my brain was a weekly column that pays respect to the idiots in sports or at the very least, something idiotic thing a sports figure does.

This week I have decided to make Monta Ellis the first ever Fred "The F-Bomb" Richani-presented Idiot of the Week.

Why is Monta Ellis an idiot, you ask?

Well, Mr. Ellis recently signed a $66 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors to be their two-guard and leader to a brighter future. Then, Monta Ellis decided to ride a moped and wound up seriously injuring his ankle in an accident involving one.

What is the result?

Ellis is now out until mid-December, but will do so while losing around $3 million n the process.

That is because the Warriors have suspended him for 30 games, due to Ellis apparently violating the terms of his new deal. There may not be specific terms in the context of his contract stating no moped rides, but as a professional athlete, one must be aware of the unwritten rules on things you should and should not do.

For Monta Ellis, that realization couldn't come at a worse time. Though, the real losers in this situation are the Baron Davis-less Warriors, who are incredibly thin in the guard position. Without No. 8, look for Golden State to falter in the Pacific Division—home of Western Conference Champion Los Angeles Lakers and defensively improved Clippers (Marcus Camby's presence should not be underrated).

By the way, the Warriors could technically have a viable reason to void out Monta Ellis's contract, due to him being injured in an extracurricular activity. It might not go that far, but stranger things have happened, folks.

Don't get me wrong, B/R Community. I love watching Monta Ellis play and hope that he has a great future ahead of him. However, this occurrence is a result of his stupidity. You already heard why, so in closing...

Monta Ellis—You're an Idiot.
