We Feel Bad for Kobe

We don’t feel bad for Kobe because his motives are constantly being questioned by critics or because he’s under intense pressure to win a championship for one of the most storied franchises in the NBA.

We don’t feel bad for him because of his past legal woes or the fact that he finished a distant second to LeBron in this year’s MVP race.

Nope, we feel bad for Kobe Bryant because we’re fairly certain that, when this picture was taken, Ron Artest’s breath smelled absolutely horrible.

After Super Bowl XLII (42), Giants safety Gibril Wilson signed a 6 year, $39 million deal with the Oakland Raiders, a deal which included $16 million in guaranteed bonuses.

And don’t forget about Dexter Jackson. That guy won MVP of Super Bowl 37 (XXXVII) for the Bucs, then said no to the Steelers and yes to the Arizona Cardinals.
