Embarrasment

It's good to know that athletes can do stupid things like ordinary people and embarrass themselves, which is today's theme on "YouTube Tuesday". I'm no better than the people I'm going to showcase below (reference my drunken karoke rendition of Stairway to Heaven during Spring Break way back in 1994. Being on stage for 8 plus minutes, with no singing ability whatsoever, seemed like a good idea at the time), but it's funny to see athletes make asses out of themselves.

First up we have Jonathan Papelbon and Manny Delcarmen doing their best Milli Vanilli, singing 'Blame it on the Rain' which the Red Sox played during last Friday's rain delay against St. Louis.
After watching this video, a couple of things stand out. Delcarmen looks like he's getting into his role of Vanilli too seriously and in looking at Papelbon as Milli, Papelbon should stick with teaching craps to Hideki Okajima.

As a sidenote, it's good to know that the Red Sox are maximizing every possible advertising dollar as the rain tarp is even sponsored - it has a huge Bob's Stores logo in the center of the diamond.



Now we have the latest video by Shaq Diesel, Shaq Fu, or whatever the big man, Shaquille O'Neal wants to be called, posing a question to Kobe Bryant: "Tell me how my ass tastes".
