The Tournament
First Tournament Turkey Gets Roasted

Damien Johnson is a classless punk, we all knew that. In fact, that show he put on after last night's game wasn't even the worst I've seen him behave after winning. I hammered him in my postgame comments, but I admit I barely batted an eye when it happened. But only because I've seen him do it so many times before.
Of course, everyone thought Johnson would tone it down now that he's representing America to the rest of the world. Gee, were we ever naïve. The only thing that's going to make Johnson shut his PIEhole is losing. He never shows his butt after losing ... most of the time he slinks out of game room without even a word of congrats to his opponent.
And what was there to brag about anyway? He's beaten Devore more times than the Old Globetrotters used to beat the Generals, why did he feel the urge to kick a man when he's down?
Speaking of losing, Johnson had better get used to it because having to play the final three games on defense is going to be a tough row to hoe. First up is only the best offensive mind in the history of CIG, Blake Ezor. After Ezor smacks Johnson around like a cat toying with a mouse, Johnson will play the wild card game on defense and then face Julie Amore, who is no slouch on offense herself. If Johnson draws Gabrielle Sallor or Katya Floski (both excellent offensive players who already have one loss ... so could be 1-1 like Johnson will be after Ezor crushes him) in his wild card game, he can forget about advancing to the next round. Winning three straight games on defense isn't easy in the bush leagues, doing it against this kind of competition ain't gonna happen.
So I hope Johnson enjoyed his little outburst. I hope he said everything he could possibly want to say last night because he cooked his own turkey. His stupidity just cost him any legitimate shot at the World Title.
