It’s been a while since we’ve run our I Hate Stupid People segment, but after this weekend I think it’s time. The stupid person I want to feature today is Jimmy Berezik. Jimmy was the star running back for my alma mater, Grand Valley State University. Grand Valley was the top ranked football team in NCAA Division 2 again this year but was upset in the playoffs this weekend by Minnesota-Duluth, 19-13 in double overtime. The last two games Jimmy played in, he ran for over 200 yards. How did he do in the loss? He didn’t play. Why didn’t he play? Because he was suspended. Why was he suspended? Because after last weekend’s 40-7 win, he felt like celebrating by committing a felony. See, Jimmy is only 19 and was doing a little boozing last Saturday. Just like any underage college kid, he ran from the police when they busted up the party. But unlike any college kid I know, he punched the officer in the face when his attempt to flee was unsuccessful. Jimmy, that’s a felony, bud. Your stupidity may have not only cost your team the big game, but I hope it has cost you your future.
I hate stupid people.
