Whipped and Chained
I would have found out about this last Thursday, had my issue of Sports Illustrated not arrived 5 days late, finally showing up in my mailbox at about 6:00 last night.
Anyway, Steve Silver lent me his copy of the Illy to see the latest development in the eunuchial life of everyone’s favorite gelding, Doug Christie. And yes, I know eunuchial is not a word.
It seems that controlling her husband’s behavior, not allowing him to look at women, and getting a female team employee fired for delivering her husband a phone message wasn’t enough for Jackie Christie. No, now she has Doug desigining purses (sorry for the google cache link; it’s not on ESPN’s website anymore). At least now Doug will have something to swing at Rick Fox the next time they fight.
You know, all those people who bemoan professional sports for being nothing but a bunch of steroid-using, overly-macho, under-educated beasts should take a look at Doug Christie. And laugh.
