Gerald Wallace Lives on the Bangwagon
READ MORE:

It's only natural that athletes occasionally sit down and watch what their counterparts in other sports are doing, but when they become as bad as the fans of the teams themselves, it gets a little weird.

Enter Gerald Wallace, a star player on the Charlotte Bobcats who happens to hail from Alabama.

He's such an enormous Pats fan that he's got a logo of the team tattoed onto the side of his head room in his house completely dedicated to the team.

So why is he a Pats fan? Well, it has to do with Tom Brady.
He's a reflection of myself, a guy who was pretty good coming out of high school, going to a college where he didn't play that much, then being drafted late
Wait a second, that doesn't make any sense.

Brady was a sixth-round pick in 2000, after starting two seasons at Michigan. He sat his first NFL season before an injury to Drew Bledsoe pushed him into the starting lineup.

Wallace played one season at Alabama before turning pro and was a late first-round pick.


I guess now would be the time to accuse Wallace of being a bandwagon fan, but it gets even better. He's also a Red Sox fan.


Unreal. So is he as big an ass as New England/Sox fans are? Of course he is.

If you're a Bobcat and a football fan, you don't want your team playing the Patriots these days. Wallace, a 6-foot-7 forward, will razz you as mercilessly as New England coach Bill Belichick runs up the score.

By the way, I hear Wallace is also a huge Spurs fan. He also likes Manchester United and that high school wrestling team that didn't lose a match for 34 years.

I would not be surprised if many of the athletes are bandwagoners in other sports. You would think most of them would know what a true fan is because majority of them played in a college atmosphere and well... Is currently or previously played on a professional team. In fact,
