They do things a little different in the US and often their athletes are a whole lot crazier than ours.
Take Ron Artest who plays for the current NBA champions the LA Lakers:

The money quote:
"I used to drink Hennessy … at halftime," Artest says in the interview, which hits newsstands this week. "I (kept it) in my locker. I'd just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it."
The best thing is that Artest is so crazy that no one is even suprised by this interview! We are talking about a man once suspended for 73 (yes seventy-three) games for brawling into the stands with fans when he played for Indiana. Legend.
Oh yes, let's not forget the time that he emailed one of the Laker fans to tell him he should "Suck a cock."
Why do we have to listen to Michael Owen-esque post-match interviews over and over again but they get a guy like this?
Unfair
