YOU GOTTA LOVE A GOOD PR SCRAMBLE AND SPINFEST
The first one lit up the wire yesterday, as everyone was wondering about the content of the halftime show at the Atlanta Falcons game. The performers were Bonecrusher, Youngbloodz, and Jermaine Dupri. The ruckus here is some alleged lyrical content that apparently got some complaints, namely "Let a choppa go PLOOOOOOWWW! to yo melon/Now the plasma is oozin outta yo cerebellum." You know, the thing about this is that Bonecrusher never would be a guest at Safeco Field based on his name alone and that's he's a rapper in the first place. That and other reasons make Safeco Field a very strictly-enforced "family environment." In other words, "corporate opera house where baseball is played. Shhh!!!"
The second PR black eye that hit the wire today involves Colts QB Peyton Manning, who I hate. Apparently there was an incident in February 1996 between Manning and a female trainer at the Univ of Tennessee. In Peyton's words, he tried to show his rump to a teammate (God knows why) "thinking the trainer wasn't where she would see." The trainer, Jamie Ann Naughright, says Manning put his "naked butt and rectum" on her face. Now the sick thing is, I'm wondering how this could have been possible. Was he on a training table and she was off to the side and he just kinda got up and went for it? I'm gonna stop right here. One thing's for sure -- this will put a little tarnish on Peyton's squeaky-clean image.
