Tiny Tim
The initial reaction to hearing former NBA star Tim Hardaway's comments about homosexuals is one of complete shock. Not so much that a person would feel such hatred towards gays (because it's hardly surprising that such sentiments still exist) but rather that a public figure would be stupid enough to make such hateful statements knowing he'd be crucified afterward.
Nonetheless, Hardaway went forward and ripped gay people. As a sports writer, I've often complained about how boring a player was or how bland a particular interview subject was; in this case, however, it's hard not to wish that Hardaway would have just shut up and stuck to the cliches.

I'm not surprised -- Hardaway's always been a punk. Jimmy the Greek would never call him "articulate" and no amount of lobbying cash could get Joe Biden to call him "clean." the NBA should've cut him loose from the public speaking circuit long ago.
At least it's good blog fodder.
