I call that "Gamesmanship"

A player for Mexican side Chivas de Guadalajara has been suspended from the Copa Libertadores (Latin America's version of the Champions League), for faking coughing in an opponent's face, making him believe he had swine flu. Chivas faces Chilean club Everton in a Round of 16 match.

Also, for our YCS readers (or Chilean soccer players) who are still under the belief that they may die from swine flu, consider this. 125 people were infected in the United States, a country of roughly 300 million people. Taking that same proportion, and using the seating capacity of all 31 NFL stadiums, that would come out to less than one person.

YCS Public Shaming

The latest in the long list of YCS's reporting on the shady characters of the world of sport comes in the form of a Tampa Bay Devil Rays prospect NOT NAMED Delmon Young.

However, unlike our usual cheeky cast of characters who make sport colorful, this guy is one sick motherfucker. It is in fact Elijah Dukes; the latest addition to the Douchebag hall of fame, so he's being pulled out here for a public flogging, since untill now, I'd never heard of this guy, and he definitely deserves a public internet flogging.

Dukes is presently accused of impregnating the teenage foster child of one of his relatives, then responding to the news of the pregnancy by whipping a bottle of Gatorade at his new baby mama.

I say "new" because Dukes is reported to have at least five children by four different women.

Oh yea, one of the mothers is his wife, who he recently threatened to kill, along with their children.

While we all point the finger at Barry Bonds (myself included) as being a total asswipe, it really takes characters like Dukes to put the word "scumbag" into perspective.

Welcome to the Fold

If you're familiar with the illustrious staff of YCS, then you're well aware of our affinity towards shady characters in the world of sport. It's true, our appreciation of such unseemly rascals as Allen Iverson, Rasheed Wallace, Chad Johnson and Randy Moss is well documented.

Gentlemen, it looks like we've got another to add to our manifesto. The above picture is, of course, of University of Florida G/F Corey Brewer. Look at him. If that's not the face of someone who's constantly contemplating doing something unsettling, then I don't know what is.

The guy has the look about him of someone who may stab someone if need be. He's the kinda guy that knows how to go about stealing a dog, should the need arise. And believe you me, he'll kill a snitch. I'm not saying he has, I'm not saying he hasn't. He's just making sure you know that.

Anyway, this post is senseless, so I'll keep it brief. We like shady people who, with a little imagination, could be criminals. We're weird like that.
