A modest proposal:
I propose the establishment of a sporting club consisting solely of toxic sporting assets. Said team would represent a supergroup of sorts of highly talented, highly paid athletes who for whatever reason aren't working out with their contracted teams. Moving them to the Toxic All Stars would take them off the books of their home clubs and allow said clubs to rebuild with players they really want and who will truly add value.
Who's on the team?
- A-Rod: Overpaid and underdelivering, who knows if he was ever even as good as he thought.
- Stephon Marbury: great shoe concept, good player, no good for the Knicks, right?
- That guy from the Giants who shot himself: Nuff said.
- David Beckham: forget Milan, Becks, you're Toxic.
- The fifth position I would recommend for any star currently in the doghouse but unlikely to linger there long. Right now it's Michael Phelps, but he'll be back. In the past maybe John Daly would have made the cut or Ricky Williams or perhaps even TO. Imagine Barry Bonds! Perhaps other types of stars with athletic abilities could visit (R Kelly comes to mind or perhaps even John Thain).
I would recommend that the Toxic All Stars play an exhibition schedule in rotating sports. The guys--and they are all guys--are strong enough athletes that they could hold their own in other sports. See Stephon score a touchdown! See Beckam bodycheck Jaromir Jagr! A-Rod vs. Federer! And so on...
The Toxic All Stars is open for business. Requests for government funds have been filed.
Recommendations welcome.
