This has been an interesting week in sports to say the least. Bobby Petrino and Ozzie Guillen made fools of themselves while embarrassing and enraging fans.

 So let’s talk boneheads. Ozzie Guillen, the Miami Marlins new manager, started the media storm over the weekend with a thunderous boom when he told Time magazine that he respected the former Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro.

 “I respect Fidel Castro,” Guillen said in an interview with Time. “You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that [expletive] is still here.”

 His comments greatly offended many Cuban-Americans who live in the city that houses Guillen’s newly rebranded team. Now he is facing a lot of hatred and disconnect from these key fans that are now calling for him to be fired after only coaching five games.

 Guillen has always been classified as a bit of hothead, but this can’t be the way that he wanted to start off his new tenure in Miami. He quickly apologized in a press conference Tuesday, but he was still handed a five-game suspension.

 Time will only tell how this all plays out, but knowing Guillen it will only be a matter of time before he runs his mouth again and digs himself into an even deeper hole.

 While what Ozzie did was pretty bad, Bobby Petrino easily takes the cake this week when he further solidified himself as a compulsive liar who knows how to make a bad situation a thousand times worse.

 Petrino, now former head coach of the University of Arkansas football team, was fired on Tuesday after he attempted to hide an affair he was having with Jessica Dorrell, a 25-year-old female that he hired himself to be on his staff and at one point even gave $20,000.

 Did I mention the former  Razorback volleyball player  was only just hired on March 28 of this year, just four days before she “mysteriously” appeared at the scene of Petrino’s recent motorcycle accident?

 Dorrell was eventually found out as being on the back of the motorcycle, but that wasn’t until after the Razorbacks released a statement from Petrino’s family that stated that Petrino was the only one involved in the wreck.

 Even with all the accomplishments and success he has brought the Razorbacks, especially in the last two years, I have to say that Petrino had it coming and he deserves every bit of the punishment that he was served.    

 I may be slightly biased because of the underhanded way that he ditched my Atlanta Falcons in 2007, but that’s just my two cents.

 Comparing the two events brings only one question to mind for me.

 Would Petrino’s situation have been any better if he had just admitted that Dorrell was with him when he initially wrecked the motorcycle?

 He probably would have been fired for fraternizing with an employee that he recently hired, but maybe he could have at least saved some face if he just manned up and told the truth.

 Now he has been labeled as a major liability, and any team that would be interested in bringing in such a talented coach on the field has to worry about what he will try to pull when he is off the sidelines.
