I was considering Eisai Inc. and PriCara®, Division of Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., better known as the makers of acid reflux medication AcipHex. That's AcipHex, pronounced "ass effects."
Dave nominated Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka for his complaining about Boston's training regimen and the effect it has had on his shoulder. I actually kind of agree with Dice-K, so I'm not cutting his mic off this week. If Seattle brought Ichiro's people over from Japan then Boston could have done the same thing.
But this week's winner is..........
......a man who needs no introduction, famed swimming coach Bob Bowman.
Better known as Michael Phelps' swimming coach.
Who was completely unknown outside the swimming world until this week when he opened his yap and started complaining about swimsuits.
His problem is that other swimmers are breaking world record's while wearing the Arena X-Glide and Jaked 01 swimsuits, considered superior to Phelps' Speedo LZR.
He told the press that he will advise Phelps to not compete until the proposed ban on these next generation suits is enforced. He also said that FINA, swimming's governing body, better "do something or they're going to lose their guy who fills these seats." Mind you, the other swimmers are not sneaking these suits into the meets nor buying them on the black market. These suits are commercially available to anyone. Phelps just can't use one because he has a sponsorship deal with Speedo.
For the last four years, while Phelps was busy not losing any international race he entered while wearing the Speedo LZR aka then revolutionary swimsuit, Bowman was mute.
But, Phelps loses one race to an unremarkable German and Bowman goes around the corner. His comments are made all the more ridiculous by the fact that Phelps won a race today.
And we wonder why the rest of the world hates us. Entitled American antics like this don't help.
