Question No. 17: Hold on, you can’t let Maradona go that fast. Where does he rank for Unintentional Comedy on a scale of 1 to Ron Artest?
Well, Artest thanked his psychiatrist after Game 7 of the NBA Finals, then wore his uniform out to clubs to celebrate. Even the fact that Maradona was once hospitalized for “too much drinking, smoking and overeating” can’t top that. Still, when you’re a bizarre hybrid of Ozzie Guillen, Mark Madsen and Shooter from “Hoosiers” multiplied by four, if Colin Farrell gained 85 pounds to play you in a sports movie and wore discount Italian suits … how can you not love Maradona to pieces? It’s also worth noting that he brings a ton of energy to Argentina’s sideline; they probably already broke the record for full-body man hugs during a sports tournament. That’s not a positive? Count me among Maradona’s many fans. Of course, if police find him in a hotel room with four hookers and a pound of blow the night before the Cup final, forget I mentioned this.
