News Person Named "Jimmer Fredette" Attempting To Be Taken Seriously

BYU senior guard Jimmer Fredette continued his scoring rampage Tuesday night with 47 points in his team's 25-point victory over rival Utah. Fredette hit 16-of-28 shots, and was 6-of-9 on 3-pointers, but still missed on having any credibility as a basketball player or human due to his unbelievably absurd name.

"Jimmer Fredette is as good a player as I've ever seen in the college ranks," said Utah coach Jim Boylen. "He's not one-dimensional. He can score from anywhere on the court. Probably most impressive is, that for someone named 'Jimmer,' he doesn't seem to piss his pants and I hear he can ride a bike with the training wheels off."

BYU head coach Dave Rose says having the name of a 3 year-old boy with glasses and a severe peanut allergy has driven Fredette to succeed and prove to people that he can do more than sit on the sidelines with his asthma inhaler reading books about dinosaurs.

Opinion 2010 Sports Punchline Honoree: Rick Pitino

Taking a look at the biggest sports punchlines of 2010…


According to various studies, the average person reads 225 words a minute. Some can obviously read more. Some, of course, read less. But most everyone falls in a range of 200 to 250 words a minute. What that means is that by the time you have finished reading this paragraph — this paragraph that contains 120 words — Louisville head basketball coach Rick Pitino could have had sex twice with some random woman on a table at an upscale Italian restaurant while one of his assistants sleeps on the floor within earshot of the happy couple. Larry Bird is not coming through that door. Kevin McHale and Robert Parish aren't coming either. But Rick Pitino is. Down his pants leg. And fast.
