D-Wade appears in an installment of I can't believe that moron really said that.

I just read this on yahoo sports today and had to comment because I just plain can't stand it when people do this. At a charity event that the superstar D-Wade hosts with former Miami Heat center Alonzo Mourning, he was making a couple of comments about the upcoming season.

Now, since he now has LeBron James and Chris Bosh with him, the Heat have been everybody's default pick to win the title. So Wade, thinking that he was being realistic about the upcoming year, made the following comment.

“There’s going to be times when we might lose one, two games in a row, maybe two games, three games in a row, you never know. It’s going to seem like the world is crashed down. You all are going to make it seem like the World Trade has just went down again. But it’s not going to be nothing but a couple basketball games lost and we’ll have to get back on track.”

Now, I understand what he's trying to say here. He's trying to say that people are going to overreact when they lose games because they are "supposed" to win them all. I get that, but give me a freaking break man, don't any of these professional athletes have that little person inside their head that tells them "hey, this is a really stupid thing to say, don't say that"? Anyone? Take it from me D-Wade, nobody is going to confuse you guys losing with this.

This brings up one of my other least favorite things that professional athletes do. I HATE it when any type of professional athlete says that they are going to "go to war" on their specific field of play. I don't mind if they say do battle, or if they say that it's going to be a fight, just don't compare a game to an event where thousand upon thousands of people die, it just bothers me.

So, the bonehead of the day award goes to Dwayne Wade! Hopefully he won't think that this is anything catastrophic.

  2. Yeah, seriously stupid thing to do. At least he has somebody to tell him that that was a stupid thing.
