I’m always curious how professional athletes spend their offseasons, particularly after somewhat embarrassing early playoff exits. Well, now I know. And I would be completely remiss if I didn’t share such pearls of wisdom with you fine people. Following their Super Bowl victories, Peyton Manning and other former MVPs happily declare they’re going to Disney World. Once bounced from the playoffs, Acie Law heads to teammate Marvin Williams’ crib, where they invite over a few buddies and bring in a tattoo artist and hit up some fresh ink home-delivery style. Now, you know.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got nothing against a little ink. I am just of the opinion that the tattoo trend among pro athletes has taken a recent turn toward to the ridiculous. The Denver Nuggets, who have my undying support to come out of the West, boast a roster so chuck full of body art its befitting of an exhibit at the Louvre. Some of these guys are painted up more than the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. How the heck is anyone supposed to pull any sort of meaning from any of these marks when you can barely decipher anything because you can’t tell what part of the body isn’t inked?
Which brings us back to our man, Acie. I was a big fan of Law at A&M and still think he might be able to do some things in the League. He’s a big fan of the ink. His first blog on Yardbarker was hyping up his latest addition back in 2008, and his most recent post touts his newest “features.” Forgive me for not being as up-to-date on Law’s tatt history, but my guess is that the ‘Lords Favorite’ is part of the new additions.
My question? What the hell does that mean? Is Acie Law the chosen one? How does he know he’s the Lords Favorite? Is Lawman wearing a religious crown? And, most importantly, the question that’s been bothering me most of all. If Acie Law really is the Lords Favorite, don’t you think the big guy upstairs knows how to use a possessive? Lord’s favorite, Acie. Show some respect, use an apostrophe.
