This is Making Me Really Mad

And I don’t even care about professional athletes that much!

So I’m innocently reading my Sportscenter Rundown this morning on the T, when I come across some nonsensical headline that reads “Bryant won’t carry Williams’ pads.” “WTF is that supposed to mean?” I wondered to myself and clicked on the link to read the article. Come to find out, football players are once again turning something insignificant into a big deal.

According to ESPN.com, NFL rookie Dez Bryant has only been at Dallas Cowboys’ training camp two days, but he already started trouble by refusing to carry teammate Roy Williams’ shoulder pads after Sunday’s practice. By the NFL’s tradition of hazing, rookies are made to carry the equipment of veteran players. It should also be noted that Bryant and Williams are vying for the same spot.

It’s a monkey.

According to a report I read on CNN.com yesterday, a man was caught trying to smuggle  18 (18!) titi monkeys through a Mexican airport this week after authorities noted a “bulge” underneath his clothes, which led to a subsequent search. Um, no thank you.

Roberto Sol Cabrera Zavaleta, 38, was reportedly traveling from Lima, Peru, and initially hid the monkeys in his suitcase. CNN reports that the monkeys were transferred to the belt-area of his pants because Cabrera did not want the monkeys to be “harmed by X-ray machines at the airport.” CNN also reports that titi monkeys are endangered, and therefore handlers require a permit to be in possession of them.

Cabrera told authorities that he purchased the monkeys for $30. Only 16 survived the trip. That’s monkey torture, right? Where is PETA?!

Last week, I made a claim that the Russian Spy Controversy was all a ploy to get people to see Angelina Jolie’s new movie. Well, this little ditty in the NY Post only confirms my suspicions:

“Angelina Jolie wants to get up close and personal with redheaded Russian spy Anna Chapman.

Jolie — who plays a suspected Russian agent in her new flick ‘Salt’ — has asked local promoters to invite Chapman, the real-life femme fatale, to the Moscow premiere of her movie, for which the Oscar-winning actress is expected to arrive next week, the promoters said.”

Hail to publicity stunts. I’m not backing down on this one!
