This is my second edition of the "10 Most Interesting People in Sports for the Past Week." Last week Avery Johnson topped the list and I swore that Isiah Thomas would remain on the list for all of eternity. Lets take a look:1. Donnie Walsh
This man literally flew all over the country this past week to find himself a new coach. The New York Knicks new head coach is ...
2. Mike D'Antoni
I just heard on Pardon the Interruption that the Eastern Conference is all about "defense." I laughed at this idea. For the love of the sport, Mike please go to the Knicks or the Bulls so we are not forced to watch "defensive" basketball. I am still laughing.
3. Kyle Busch
Look, I'm not one to indulge in the fine "sport" of NASCAR but it appears to me this guy won a few races and now he feels he is entitled to do whatever he wants on the track. I really do not have much to say about this guy but he must be interesting if he is always appearing on SportsCenter and his name isn't Sean Salisbury or John Clayton.
4. SportsCenter Producers
Aired a great story Sunday morning about a Division II or III softball player who was helped around the bases by the opposing team after tearing an ACL on her first ever career home run trot. Trust me, even I felt good after watching this. But then, as soon as that was over, Bob Ley goes back to the headlines and enunciates (not exact quotes): "Cedrick Benson was arrested this morning for being intoxicated while boating." I applaud you SportsCenter.
5. Cedrick Benson
He claims the police mistreated him and beat him up for no reason. "People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along? Can we stop making it, making it horrible for the older people and the kids?...It’s just not right. It’s not right. It’s not, it’s not going to change anything. We’ll, we’ll get our justice....Please, we can get along here. We all can get along. I mean, we’re all stuck here for a while. Let’s try to work it out. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to work it out." - Rodney King
6. Isiah Thomas
He moved up this week just because of the fact he still makes $18 million to do nothing. I am not joking. Nothing.
7. Mike "Doc" Emrik
You are the slave of NHL broadcasting, partly because you are the best hockey announcer of my time, and partly because every other hockey announcer has no idea what is going on. (i.e. Chico Resch)
8. Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs
Congratulations, you just realized your OLD. Goodbye Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, welcome David West and Chris Paul to the Western Conference Finals.
9. The entire city of Boston
We almost saw a riot. The Boston Police should thank the lord someone learned how to cover Joe Johnson.
10. Greg Maddux
350 will come... Don't worry buddy, we all know you don't do steroids and have affairs with 15 year old girls. I'm sorry I take that back Rocket ... well not really.
