I feel bad for Courtney that it came out like this too. Jermichael is a piece of sh*t person overall, so I couldn't care less about him being exposed.


Really? You feel bad for Courtney? Is that your sister or something? WTF?

Why is it wrong to feel bad for the wife that this sort of thing was vaulted into the public media? She probably knew about it, but it is unfortunate for her as a woman to have to go through this humiliation. Don't see where you're coming from here, especially don't think it is "WTF" worthy...

TIL you're not allowed to feel bad for people you don't know.

I don't really get why anyone would feel bad for a girl who decided to marry/date a douche bag professional athlete who has a history of cheating on women and has a bunch of kids with other women. It pretty much seems predetermined that he was going to keep sleeping around.

I could really care less about this though when it comes to him being on our team. A lot of professional athletes are crappy people, all I really care about is him producing on the field... which he hasn't done to this point. Hopefully he steps it up and realizes his potential this year.

There are few, if any, male athletes for whom allegations of adultery are worth covering as a major story. I feel bad that his wife was put on blast (assuming she didn't know), but I don't think this is really worth talking too much about.


He has two children with his current wife and four children with prior women. He had those four children with multiple women before the age of 21. That is extremely **** up. It is especially **** up if he isn't properly providing support for those children now.

Deadbeat dads are the nut low. Getting a woman pregnant that you really don't care about is also extremely **** up. Condoms. How do they work?


Sure, I agree (assuming she didn't pull the goalie on him, and even then, he should still wear a condom JIC). I just don't think it's really a unique story, tbh. Stories about professional athletes, baby mommas, and money issues are par for the course.

I guess I am just out of the ordinary for thinking it is unfortunate for a woman to publicly humiliated like that. Sure, she married a huge douche-- but that doesn't make her some terrible person that deserves being ridiculed. Most of us have friends that have dated/married total jackasses.

But yeah, I don't really give much of a damn about the story either. Jermichael is the epitome of a modern day pro athlete and a total dick, pretty much end of story.

Finley is a good reminder that we have been insanely fortunate not to have a diva at the WR position despite having a lot of talent there. Most teams have to deal with a total headcase if they want to have a big time threat at that position.

The Washington post just did a long story about Allen Iverson

http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-04-19/sports/38666036_1_allen-iverson-sixers-nba-s

Not taking care of his kids. Broke even though he made 150 million dollars. Blows me away that he could be broke already. That's a ton of cash to piss away so quickly.
