With a professional resume consisting of a mere half dozen games, Giants rookie RB David Wilson made himself an easy target when telling Newsday’s Bob Glauber that he’ll someday be enshrined in Canton, OH. However, it was Wilson’s insistence that, “”I’m like birth control. You have to believe in me,”(“like birth control, 99.9 percent of the time I’m going to come through for you”) raised the eyebrows of former Washington DB Fred Smoot (above) , who phoned a local radio program to take umbrage. From DC Sports Bog’s Sarah Kogod :
“He compared himself to birth control?” laughed Smoot. “There’s nothing manly about birth control. I think he could have used a different analogy, man. Like saying, ‘I’m just like a vasectomy. I always work for you. I’m always there for you.’”
Much as I hate to argue with a manliness expert like Smoot, a vasectomy is a form of birth control.
How do you hear a person compare themselves to birth control and not go the “yeah, have you seen the dude around other women? I’d compare him to birth control too” route? This guy’s worried about vasectomies and the relative manliness of a metaphor? Weeeeak.
