According to Internet Media: After sliding into home plate, on an admittedly risky play, considering it was the first inning of a game in April, the Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton self-flagellated for the play that resulted in a broken arm and six to eight weeks on the shelf. “It was just a stupid play,” he said.
(Please feel free to pause and be somewhat relieved that the American League’s most valuable player was injured in an actual game, with Hamilton doing something athletic, as opposed to the traditional baseball injury sustained while pouring a bowl of cereal or, perhaps, flossing.)
In light of one of the other events of the day Tuesday, though, Hamilton comes out looking like a molecular biologist. Because falling into the really stupid category is driving your Porsche 71 miles an hour in Bayonne, N.J., trying to speed away from the cops chasing you and then when you get out of the car and try to get away, deny it was your car. This is the alleged stupidity of Tennessee Titans receiver Kenny Britt, for which he was arrested on three criminal charges. It adds to Britt’s long and colorful rap sheet and — if true — would most likely gain him a good whack under the N.F.L.’s personal conduct policy if there currently were a functioning N.F.L.
