An idiot's tale

Johnny Damon's tell-all book, Idiot: Beating The Curse and Enjoying the Game of Life, reveals the Red Sox outfielder to be ... well, an idiot.

Damon writes that he made the decision to divorce his high school sweetheart, Angie Vannice, at the start of the 2002 season.

The couple have 5-year-old twins.

"If you're good-looking and a ballplayer, girls want a piece of you," he writes.

"For the rest of the (2002) season, I met some women, some good, some bad. I had some one-nighters that I had never gotten to experience before. It was fun. I ended up having to carry around a separate cell phone for the women to call me. I didn't want them to have my main number because my phone would have been ringing off the hook and it just got tiring. ...

"One time, I was propositioned by two girls at once, but I passed. Two girls might be able to handcuff me and kill me. Mostly, they just want more of your life than you can give them. I'm sure some of them wanted to get pregnant."

Wow, I just lost a TON of respect for the guy.

Me too :no:. Honestly, Boston or not, I had a certain amount of respect for the way he seemed to carry himself. I had no idea he was just another guy led around by his dick.

Now now, lets not judge a guy because of his sexual ways.  Just because he likes different vaginas every night, doesn't mean we can condemn him.  Afterall, I'm sure most of us do/did the same to a point ;)

:rolleyes: Yes, well the I'm not going to comment there because I will be warned :laugh:

As for Johnny Damon, any respect I had for him, which was little to begin with, just went completely out the door... down the toilet, you get the idea. All I can say, no matter how bad the Yankees are currently doing, is "Go Yankees" and their respectable ballplayers!

/\ :yes:

There's nothing more respectable about the Yankees than there is about Damon. Let the guy do what he wants. If you were in his shoes, with the millions of dollars, and the women all over you, are you saying with 100% honesty that you wouldn't do the same thing? :blink:

Btw, suspend Sheffield. :shifty:

This guy is truely an idiot...his kids could be messed up over this when they grow up (some kids never heal fully after a divorce). Now that he wrote this book they'll know that the didn't have a "father" figure in their household because daddy was out with other women...johnny damon, YOUR THE MAN :angry:

Nicely put man.

I want to go buy this book to read the entire thing, but I don't want the money to go to him though, so I think I'll go to the library this weekend and get it there. I'll let you know just how stupid this loser really is!

What's worse is how he broke the news, of wanting a divorce, to his wife. They had been looking to buy a new house in Boston...they found one they both fell in love with and once they signed the papers, he dropped the bomb and told her she wasn't welcome in the house and if she didn't like it she could go to hell. He said he wanted 'play the field' and that she was in the way, and required too much attention. She asked that they try to work it out, but he said it wasn't worth the effort.

Dayyum, you're right. What a poor man...I can't believe he's openly willing to tell people these things.

And this isn't about morals, it's about his children's mental health. His inability to comprehend this is unfortunate and sad. And yet another example of how fame and fortune doesn't necessarily translate into strong character, class, or an understanding of how best to love for your own children.

I don't agree with his morals (obviously), but what he does in his own personal life is his business. I do, however, agree that this is extremely sad for his kids and any kids that consider him their hero.

I decided to read the book and after reading it all I can say is "WOW" what a complete moron. I wrote a review for Amazon.com that goes something like this:

What he does in his own personal life is his business I guess, but I still have to feel sorry for his kids, knowing that "daddy" is a ######. Idiot is the nicest thing you could possibly call Johnny Damon, to openly admit that you "banged" nine women while your wife was in labor is extremely ignorant and stupid. At one point I was a Boston fan, but after this, I can't bare to watch the team because he gives such as bad image to them. I would personally love to see him off the team!

"I banged 9 nurses during my wife's 36-hour labor." -Johnny Damon

And the sad thing is this guy is some child's hero. It is people like Damon who should be blamed for our teens getting pregnant at immature ages, it people like him who set the bad examples and the sad thing is, parents encourage this, they actually encourage it. How sad!

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
