Sissie-Snowpants. Wuss. Weakling. Feeble-Human. Defcon 5 BAFFOON.
His name is J.T. Tiller and if anyone watched the Marquette vs. Missouri game yesterday they would know why. With the game hanging in the balance with only seconds to play, this finely tuned basketball player drove to the lane and was fouled hard by a Marquette Golden Eagle causing Tiller to come crashing down in a lump to the court below. Instead of pulling himself up by his own bootstraps, shaking off the cobb webs, and taking the free-throws which is so rightly deserved, JT decided to make a decision. His decision was to pretend to be seriously hurt. He did this so much so, that Missouri brought in another player to take the two free throw shots, that would be crucial if Missouri would win the game. Of course, this player came through for Missouri, and knocked down the shots to ensure Missouri the lead which would not be relinquished. Strangely enough, only seconds after hitting the free throws, Mr. Tiller was miraculously healed as if nothing had ever happened. It's the oldest trick in the book and it worked, but that doesn't make it right. Unfortunately, what is right doesn't always make the priority list of many people. There needs to be some sort of accountability or rule modification, because this baffoonery will only continue and hurt someone else's chances down the road.
