Crazy Athlete of the Week!


Krevor here with your Crazy Athlete of the Week. And the winner is....Scott Olsen!

This weeks winner is the perfect example of why we do Crazy Athlete of the Week here at Sports Bullies. Florida Marlins pitcher Scott Olsen was arrested Saturday for driving under the influence, resisting an officer with violence, and evading police. A police officer attempted to pull over Olsen at 3:40 am after he was clocked going 48 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. Olsen ignored the police car behind him and continued to drive one mile until he reached his home where he exited his car and sat on a plastic chair in his front lawn. The 6'5 Olsen then tried to kick police officers who used a stun gun (and judging from his mug shot a few fists) to subdue him. This not the first time Olsen has had off the field troubles as he has been previously arrested for DUI and gotten into fights with teammates. I don't even know what to say about this. What is the worst part of this story? That he was driving drunk or that he attempted to fight police officers while sitting in a plastic lawn chair? I choose the latter, just pathetic Olsen. At least you could have tried to bite the cops like Pacman Jones or Fred Evans. Once again Roger Godell is jumping up and down that the Crazy Athlete of the Week was not a football player. Don't celebrate too much Godell, Michael Vick is technically still a member of the NFL.
