Rediscovering my hatred for JJ

As a Maryland fan, you probably hate JJ Redick. I tend to say I “hate” people or things a lot (name of this blog) but I don’t actually “hate” them per se. But JJ is different – I actually hate his guts. I hate everything about him. He was a freaking jerk while at Duke and thought he was better than anyone else. That’s why I don’t feel bad when I hear about how his cell phone number was discovered by Maryland students and prank called a million times. That’s why I don’t care that people made signs about his sister, which I think is hilarious. And I'm not the only one hating on him...type "hate" and "jj redick" into a google search and you get 27,600 hits. That's a lot of hating. So you don't want to just hop on the band wagon of JJ hating and you'd like another reason - how about HORRIBLE poetry? ?

When it happened, I couldn’t decide if I hated the Orlando Magic for drafting JJ or not, but I think I might love them now because they basically bench JJ on a nightly basis. And why? BECAUSE HE CAN’T PLAY IN THE NBA! Check out some proof:




All the other first round picks from 2006 are actually contributing to their teams. The only thing JJ is doing is contributing to the warmth of Orlando’s bench. So you might ask, where did all of this renewed hatred come from?
It came from this blog. And whose blog is this you might ask? The blog of JJ Redick himself. Oh mercy, if you’re looking for something funny, PLEASE read it. There are some great things in there, including JJ crying about not playing enough, his top magazines that he reads (including US Weekly – he actually talks about how he likes to follow gossip and how US weekly is the ONLY source for the truth!). Another one of his posts talks about his new year’s plans and how he hates the holiday and how he hates Valentine’s Day because he never seems to have a girlfriend. Just a guess JJ, but maybe it’s the backne or the hideous teeth. Since Orlando is giving you so much money to do nothing, you could probably get both of those taken care of.

The only thing funnier than JJ’s blog itself is reading the comments his regular readers leave him. These people actually THINK they’re friends with JJ. They say things like “Oh, I top three magazines are the same as your top three!” It’s really sad. Actually, sad might not be a strong enough word…pathetic might be more appropriate since it appears JJ hasn’t once replied to the comments of these people.
Anyway, enjoy some long overdue hating/mocking of my most hated basketball player ever, J.J. Redick.
