Hello,
 
I have a suggestion for a possible douche bag of the week, if that's something you are interested in.  I play in Men's basketball league and last week my team played against a team that only had 4 players so one of the kids invited his friend.  His friend happened to be an all American (Williams College) and played pro ball overseas.  Now he works for the Celtics in Player Development. (see him guarding Corey Brewer  http://www.nba.com/celtics/draft/workout-interview-brewer.html )  So this kid comes in (did I mention it is a coed league) and shoots every shot obviously being a pretty big factor in the game considering his past accomplishments.  Not only does he play but he talks shit.  I recognized him and said "Looks like you've come a long way since Williams" he responded by saying "My friend asked me to play and so I came and fucked you guys up, because I can".  HA!  Because I can!  In a COED play for fun league.  The kids a Douche Bag and deserves some recognition.   Am I spelling Douche right?  Whatever.   Mike Crotty Douche Bag of the week.

Let me start by saying I obviously don’t know Mike Crotty from a hole in the wall.  Having said that, this one is a no brainer if you ask me.   This guy is a pretty freaking big douche bag here.   You CAN’T under any circumstances go all out in a coed league.   Only douche bags do that.  And frankly the thing that is really surprising is that guys who are really good usually don’t feel the need to dunk on chicks and talk shit in a league like this.  It’s my experience that it’s the crappy guys who got cut from their high school basketball team that you got to watch out for in situations like these.  Combine this with the fact that Mike Crotty is the Director of Player Development for the Celts and it seems pretty strange right?  Maybe he is compensating for having a small dick or something?  But if this story is accurate and I have no reason to believe it’s not than I vote for a 9 on the Douche Bag scale.  I refuse to give anybody a 10 who is better than me at sports. 

Just as an FYI, the way you’re supposed to handle coed sports situations like these is just show small glimpses of your talent to impress the chicks, but that’s it.   Maybe you jokingly dunk or something in-between whistles.  But you don’t be a hungo and you don’t get in people’s faces.   Listen, I like the line that “I came and fucked you guys up because I can”, but only if it’s an all men’s competitive league.   You just don’t bring this type of shit to a non competitive coed basketball league and expect not to get lit up on the Stool.  Anyway that’s my take on this situation.  Now it’s the Stoolies turn to chime in. How big of a douche bag is the Director of Player Development for the Celts?
