Its called TMZ sports, and its entirely Deadspins fault. They got a little too big for the pond, and now the big dogs are a comin’.

TMZ, the internet sleaze-machine, is trying to capitalize on the sports smut popularity that Deadspin hath been unleashing upon the masses since 2002. It might seem like the Tiger cluster F*** was the catalyst to the launch of an all athlete related division of TMZ, but I think the reasons are actually 2 fold: 1) Pro Athletes are literally the gift that keeps on giving, sure, celebs are narcissistic douchnozzles with too much money, time and adoration to be well adjusted in any society, but at least they have for the most part endured a teensy bit of struggle before hitting it big. Athletes are coddled from the time they dribble better than the next kid,  and regardless of how well they’ve been brought up, still manage to continue to get drunk, arrested, charges, fined and photographed.

and 2) I totally forgot after writing that first paragraph.

Regardless, if you think you saw professional athletes in compromising positions before now, we haven’t seen nuthin’ yet…and I can’t wait.
