I’ve lost respect for Lamar Odom

On a slow night in sports the ‘ole ball and chain forced me to watch an episode of the horrendous reality TV series – Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

First of all, reality television induces vomiting for me. The only thing on TV that actually is realistic is sports, and that’s why we love them oh so much.

Secondly, why in the hell are these Kardashian girls famous? They haven’t done anything special to attain a celebrity status. The only hot one is Kim and she is just okay.

They’ve all been labeled Hollywood socialites but what the eff does that even mean? Sounds like a made up celebrity word for spoiled biatches that have enough money to put themselves on TV.



Anyway, on to Lakers forward Lamar Odom. As you probably know, Odom and the youngest Kardashian sister got hitched last September – after one month of dating.

But I’m sitting here watching this episode with Odom in it and he’s being all lovey dovey and using pet names and what not. Just not what you expect from a professional athlete.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with showing your lady friend some TLC, but I just don’t expect to see a guy that I respect so much as a basketball player to look so un-macho.




So yes, I have lost a lot of respect for Lamar as a person, not player. He didn’t have to make appearances on this God-awful reality series but he did, and I hope he gets razzed about it every day by his buddies and/or teammates.
