Man, I really wanted to find a video of current Giant and former Steeler Plaxico Burress looking like a douchebag, but the pestering fan in this clip is the one who comes off as the asshat.
Nice catch in the f***ing end zone!
Nice catch to win a SUPER BOWL, PLAX!
Some people are extremely knowledgeable and classy when it comes to meeting sports stars. No wonder most athletes hate the Internet/blogs/Youtube/etc.
Here's the same weirdo bothering Brandon Jacobs. I betcha Jacobs doesn't watch The Rip Artist. Ain't nothing like using a little kid's autograph desire to get athletes on camera.
I think I'm at the point now where I miss the 'Burgh (to a certain extent). Living in NYC is great, but I get tired of the constant commercials for Hillside Honda (I live in Queens) and the subway ads for Dr. Zizmor. Give me Willi's all day (or...never thought I'd say this...the 9020 guys at the very least).
So I need a question answered. Is the above video an actual commercial circulating through the 'Burgh? It seems like it could easily be some viral spoof, but the company is legit, and I'm far enough removed from the area that I'm not the final authority on what is and isn't real.
Yeah? You've heard that, too? It's the rumor that never seemed to have any resolution. We Steelers fans have heard it throughout his time in Pittsburgh, Will Leitch wrote about Stewart's ridiculous denials in God Save the Fan (closed-door meetings with teammates to describe the explicit sex acts he'd perform on the players' wives and girlfriends), and now...former Steeler Plaxico Burress has weighed in on the subject in his new book (link is also in today's MPotD).
"People were talking about [Kordell] being gay," Burress writes in Chapter 5. "The players heard that, but we never talked about it. I don't know if Kordell is gay or not. It was none of our business. If ever we would have talked about it, it would have made everybody uncomfortable. If some player was gay, I don't think he could come out while he was still playing. It would be real hard. It would mess a team up mentally and it wouldn't be good for that person."
Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Stewart's straight-ness. If you come out and say, "Dude wasn't gay," people might believe that said player wasn't gay. If you say, "I don't know if dude was gay," a good many listeners will still question said player's sexuality.
If you're asking me what I think, you've come to the wrong place. If he is into guys, whatev. If he likes chicks, good for him. If he pulls a Tila Tequila and can't decide between the two, I hope he creates a reality dating show in which he gets his heart broken. No homo.
However, PSaMP has come into startling video footage that might finally put this controversy to rest:
