Avery Johnson - JackAss of the week May 2nd, 2007 - May 9th, 2007

Sure it is hard in the sports world to sometimes come up with a new figure to become jackass of the week, believe me I get hammered for putting up some that I do not even think deserve it.

BUT then there are some figures that just do things that they know is not right. Take Avery Johnson, head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. Yesterday prior to the Mavs 118-112 win over Golden State, he publicly made comments about how he was tired of Dirk making excuses:

"I wasn't the best of players and didn't have the best of skills, but you were not going to shake my confidence. We need all of our players to be confident, to be resilient, to be persistent and that's what I want to see tomorrow. If I don't see it at shoot around, I'm going to be highly upset ... because I need to have it going into that game tomorrow night. We've got to be confident and really sure about what we're doing."

Shouldn't he just keep that in house and not say anything to the press? Just doesn't make sense to me!

Isn't he more sick of the media saying those things than anyting? Weak JAOW if you ask me.

The JAOW should be the Miami Dolphins for their attempted 07 draft lol.

Although I don't know the particulars of this selection it does seem that beers makes a valid point.

I nominate Meik for JAOW.
