The Sports Woodshed
by Bodog Sportsbook | Jun 27 2008
Welcome To The WoodshedThe Woodshed has always been known as the long-since banned place where people who found themselves in trouble went to get their punishment. Sports figures have been given a free pass far too often for their behavior and performance in and out of the arenas… until now.
Bodog Sportsbook is taking anyone and everyone in the sporting world who has done something socially wrong, suffered a monumental collapse, gotten their ass kicked or just plain embarrassed themselves behind the Woodshed for some sporting comeuppance.
I said Kobe, not Kenyon, Kobe!Shaq - Because it’s Shaq, we’ll be gentle. Even when The Diesel starts rapping about how a former teammate can’t win a championship without him and how that teammate is responsible for ratting out his infidelity and causing his divorce, because it’s Shaq, we can take that as freestyling. We all know Shaq can flow… But when you start a chant and hype the crowd to ask the question,
“How does my ass taste, Kobe?” and then proceed to lose your honorary deputy badge and revive a media shit storm on a dead feud, then we gotta take you to the Woodshed, Big Daddy.
Retief Goosen - Calling out another golfer for faking an injury is a ballsy move on any day. Calling out Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer of all time, for exaggerating an injury is just plain stupid. You have to feel even more inept when you find out not only that Tiger will require season-ending surgery, but that he beat you and everyone else while playing on a broken leg. We’ll meet you at the Woodshed, Mr. Goosen; you can bring Mr. Aimes with you.

Catching passes is a lot better than catching a beat down.Javon Walker – The Oakland Raiders wideout was spotted giving champagne showers while partying at the Las Vegas spot Body English. Four and a half hours after leaving the club, Walker was found lying unconscious in a pool of blood, beaten and robbed of his shine. Javon’s not on the list because he may have been the victim of a brutal attack and robbery. He’s on the list because he was acting like that “NFL guy” who got a little out of hand popping bottles and models and making it rain and all that jazz. It’s amazing how anyone would think that people would enjoy getting expensive bottles of Dom sprayed all over their nice vacation clothes.

J.P. Ricciardi – Why any general manager of a big league baseball club would see fit to call out a random player from another team in another league whom he has had no prior relationship or contact with is beyond us. Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi has had to answer a lot of questions regarding his comments about Adam Dunn on a radio show. OK, so he put his foot in his mouth, fine; he apologized, so that doesn’t warrant the Woodshed. However, when Adam Dunn says that he has had no contact with Ricciardi whatsoever and Ricciardi claims he must have apologized to an Adam Dunn impersonator, that, my good man, is beyond embarrassment – it’s good enough for fourth place at the Woodshed for Ricciardi.
Hey kids, you're either first or you're last The Michigan LifeLock 400 Field – In a race in Michigan recently, Dale Earnhardt Jr. kept racing past the pace car while under caution, then turning off his engine and coasting in order to conserve fuel. It sounds brilliant and is completely “legal.” Dale clearly comes from the Al Davis “if you’re not cheatin’ - you’re not trying” school of sportsmanship. So this Woodshed award goes to the field of the Michigan LifeLock 400 for letting a man who hasn’t won a race in his last 76 attempts beat them on fumes.
