Hey Gary, SHUT THE FUCK UP!

I am a walking, talking embodiment of the saying: "I root for the Orioles and who ever is playing the Yankees." So as a rule, I like it when people pick on the Yankees. Be it George Mitchell calling Jason "Sir Ringe" Giambi on the carpet, or the flip-flopping, so called Baseball experts who now seem to have a problem with the amount The Boss gave the Rocket. So I should be happy that Gary Sheffield opened his big fat mouth again to rip his former employers. If Gary had problems in the Big Apple then a few things can be safely assumed. #1: He got what he wanted. He told just about anyone who would listen how much he wanted to play in the Bronx, because he was from Tampa and his God Father is Doc Gooden. With Family like that what a shock that Shef is a total cock-hole. #2 If Joe Torre called him out in a team meeting it was almost certainly deserved and had noting to do with his race.

This isn't the first time Shef has caused a dust up while giving an interview. A few months back he accused baseball of systematical holding black players back and promoting Latin players because they are easier to control. As most pundits pointed out; Shef was able to put down two races of people in just one sentence. No matter what you say: That's some impressively ignorant bigotry. And with his current outburst he went so far as to say that Derrek Jeter "doesn't count" as a black teammate because he's only half. Nice. Way to be understanding of the challenges faced my mixed race people on your own team, let alone the country at large.

With so many real injustices being done to black people in this country, couldn't this guy find a better cause than the plight of the black-millionaire ball player? Even Kanye West spoke up for regular black people when he blasted W, and he's a Rapper for cryin' out loud.

So, it is for all these reasons that I make Gary Sheffield my first Stiff Of The Week.
