The D-List for the Month of June

Diego Maradona - For his absurd World Cup hotel demands. Including having the bathroom completely redone to include the World's best toilet and other vital features. Additionally, he ran over a reporters foot with his car and had the audacity to blame the reporter: In a video report on the Daily Telegraph, other reporters can he heard yelling at Maradona to stop. Maradona responded by calling the injured cameraman an "a--hole." "How can you put your leg there where it can get run over, man?" Maradona demanded. He then continued on to the press conference where he announced his final 23-man roster for South Africa.

Jerome Menyweather - Jerome was at a party and the police arrived. He then fled the scene. One of the officers involved in the chase noticed that the man was hiding something in his arms that he was carrying. When they finally caught the man about 200 feet later, he no longer had the package in his possession. After further investigation, it was determined that the man was carrying an infant and then “placed” the infant in the bushes to hide it and ran. WOW

Gary Coleman’s Ex Wife - Well she is at it again. She hired a professional photographer to take photos of Coleman as he was dying. Three of the 4 photos have been sold, with the fourth one, a photo of Coleman after he has passed, has reportedly not been sold just yet.

Jeremiah Masoli - He was caught with marijuana while being cited for driving infractions. This is while he's on probation from the football team for being involved in a few months ago. As a result of this latest run-in with the law, he's been officially kicked off the Oregon football team. What a dumbass.

Dodgers owners Frank and Jamie McCourt - It's really hard to summarize this insanity, you really need to read the whole articles....they're rather hilarious. Here's a quick summary though: "According to Bill Shaikin of the LA Times, the McCourts paid Vladimir Shpunt several hundred thousand dollars over five years to apply his "V energy" and help the Dodgers to victory. Between 2004, the first season under the McCourts' ownership, and 2009, Shpunt was retained for Dodgers matches, despite the fact that he knew little about baseball. He would channel positive vibes towards the players as he sat in Boston, some 3,000 miles from LA. By watching the game on television, he could get instant feedback on how his energy was affecting performance."

Vuvuzelas - the incessant and annoying unofficial noise maker of soccer. For those of you unfamiliar, just watch a minute of any world cup game or go to vuvuzela.fm

France National Football Team / France - I’m not sure who is to blame and/or who is the biggest d-bag in all of this, but it sure is fun to watch…the expulsion of a player, arguments, refusal to practice, resignations, failure to advance from pool play, and now the trickle down all the way to French society.

Koman Coulibaly - the referee for the USA vs Slovenia World Cup match. Still a phantom call. Offsides? Foul? Blown call.

Carlos Zambrano - For yet another catastrophic freakout, this time occurring in the Cubs’ dugout during the Cubs/White Sox game this past Friday. Zambrano signed a 5-year, $91.5 million contract extension with the Cubs in 2007 and has done more to ruin the Cubs than to help them win. Apparently Zambrano freaked out on his teammates for not making plays behind him…it’s one thing to question lack of effort, but completely another to publicly lash out as egregiously as Zambrano did for something that should’ve been discussed behind closed doors (if at all).

FIFA - For their many blunders during the 2010 World Cup, most notably the horrible refereeing…disallowed goals, blown offsides (non) calls, eager yellow/red carding. Amongst all of this FIFA has refused to comment on many of these bad calls and still haven’t adopted at least some form of video replay despite every other major sport utilizing the available technology. Oh and they were d-bag enough to forcefully remove the blown call by Koman Coulibaly against the US from YouTube.
