Larry Fitzgerald may be set to be on cover of Madden 2010, and may be the most popular athlete in Arizona. Steve Nash is pretty close to Fitz in Q rating; although he may be close the end of his tenure with the Suns. Kurt Warner makes the list and Brandon Webb may also be up there for the D-Backs. On the flip side, there’s a cast of characters who cannot be confused for being popular, right now, in Arizona. They are…:
1. Eric Byrnes- 0-7, 2 Ks in 3 games, while whining to the media about the media.
2. Steve Kerr – See #4, although many wish the Suns would’ve sold this year’s 15th pick, Robin Lopez.
3. Jon “Tatooed” Rauch - Nothing seems to be going right for him, unless you play for one of the D-backs opponents…
4. Robert Sarver – Not paying Joe Johnson, draft picks, Suns may pay for the Shaq trade.
5. Jim Livengood – Botched the UA coaching search. Pitino, Few, Capel, Floyd didn’t want the job, and the 5th choice only took it after he overpaid him.
6. Mark Reynolds- 2 Ks, 1 error in 2 games. Originator of the Matt Reynolds hat trick- (strikeout, error, homerun)
7. Rick Schu- no noticeable improvement in D-Backs hitting approach this year, most notably Justin Upton
8. Doug Slaten – left handed reliever who cannot get out left handed hitters, hmm…
9. Bob Melvin- fans most irritated by any of the following: Playing Eric Byrnes, employing Rick Schu, pitching Jon Rauch as well as the # 8 man on our list.
10. Robin Lopez – He fouls often outnumber his points and rebounds, and his dialect is a cross between a caveman and a surfer. Think Encino Man, only taller .
According to Callaway Golf - 78%: Percentage of male golfers who would rather play Augusta National than go on a date with Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Bar Rafaeli.
I’d take the date. And, for the record, I’d rather:
Take BP at Fenway or Wrigley
Stay the night at the White House
Go on a date with Carrie Underwood
Sit courtside for an important NBA game
Attend the Super Bowl
Turns out the D-Backs had concern about Brandon Webb’s health before this latest shoulder issue. In fact, Fox Sports is reporting that Webb was rejected by several insurance companies as the D-Backs sought protection before a potential long-term investment. Given this, Burnsy believes Webb leaving is a foregone conclusion, just as a losing season is for the D-Backs if he does not come back this year.
