Shaun White Arrested for Public Intoxication, Trashing a Hotel Room
Shaun White, the Olympic gold medalist known for his snowboarding and bushy red hair, has been arrested in Nashville for public intoxication and trashing a hotel room, according to TMZ.
Sources tell TMZ … White was in a Nashville hotel when he allegedly trashed his room in a stupor. When he was confronted by hotel staff, Shaun allegedly pulled several fire alarms and then ran fast … so fast he fell and split his head open.
That’s a bit cliche, no? Past-his-prime Famous Person gets sloppy, trashes hotel room? I suppose this means we won’t see bad cameos from White in movies like Friends with Benefits anymore?

so i guess the answer to “does anyone care about shaun white” is still no.
i haven’t seen a redhead get this ignored since ginger baker’s air force.

But Does Anyone Care About Shaun White?
Boom. McIntyre post.
September 17th, 2012 at 4:40 PM
wow…watching masters highlights from 2002. it’s unreal how different tiger is now than he was back then…not making future prognostication based on this, but you could see his passion for golf during every interview clip. havent seen that much lately…i guess after his shot on 16 at memorial this year.
September 17th, 2012 at 4:41 PM
In 2010, White had the highest Sports Q Score among active athletes. His score was second only to Michael Jordan and ranked ahead of Peyton Manning, Joe Montana and Arnold Palmer

Sounds fun. What comes before Part-B???? Part-A!
If I was the world’s most famous X-gamer I’d party and trash a few hotel rooms I would think.
September 17th, 2012 at 4:44 PM
Actually he set new world records at the last Olympics and is the reigning champion, so the more accurate way to describe him would be “still the best in his sport.’
But far be it for me to critique you lest you passive aggressively threaten me with my first name on twitter again.

September 17th, 2012 at 4:45 PM
I bet a lot of it is the red hair. Non sports fans need to only see him mentioned once and they remember who he is.
September 17th, 2012 at 4:45 PM
well played, Mr. McIntyre. Well played indeed.
September 17th, 2012 at 4:45 PM
i dont think that fits here. not if he’s making a million dollars a minute and swimming around like Scrooge McDuck
September 17th, 2012 at 4:45 PM
if by anyone you mean the dullard Yankee/Cowboy/Steeler bandwagon “fans” who can’t name three players on their own teams, then maybe not. But anyone that watches x-games and snowboards/skates, or you know, heads up a “sports” blog should def know who he is, and that he is still head and shoulders above his competition. Maybe his appearances in US Weekly are down though, leading to this post.

Tony Hawk pulled a 900 when he was 40, not sure what age is out of your prime in snowboarding and skateboard. These are more like activities, old guys can be really really good at activities.

Hmmm, I just assumed it was Mike.
September 17th, 2012 at 4:48 PM
agreed im uninformed. a sport has an endgame, a point…not a judged beauty pageant on who can do the coolest looking tricks. it’s fucking figure skating with baggy pants…scratch that, figure skating’s more hardcore.
September 17th, 2012 at 4:48 PM
That is a power move though, but he’s going to lose points on the execution despite the high degree of difficulty.

Gerry Kasparov? Garry’s twin brother?
September 17th, 2012 at 4:56 PM
the point is skateboarding/snowboarding are not “activities”, but hardcore sports that require skill. An activity is something anyone can do regardless of skill level, like chess or bowling. No risk in going to the hospital or even dying if you put your queen in danger by being careless with your rook.
September 17th, 2012 at 4:57 PM

i should note that the one sport i am really, truly terrible at – like I can’t do it at all – is skiing. I’ve tried twice. Massive failure both times. I have given up trying. completely.

DJ Moore went all in on Cutler. Lets see Cutler respond.

September 17th, 2012 at 5:04 PM
You try snowboarding? Back in the day I had the option to pick one or the other (benefit of college in the mountains, PE credit for either) and went with snowboarding based on the logic that I only had to keep track of one thing instead of four pieces of equipment.
Snowboarding always seemed easier to learn than skiing to me, more concentrated of a motion.
Hurts more to fall though.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:04 PM
That’s why I took up snowboarding. Fucking skis would stop crossing. Skiing is much much more difficult than snowboarding.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:04 PM
I’m guessing it will involve crying while eating a tin of cake frosting.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:04 PM
I went skiing earlier this year after not having been in about 16 years. It took me most of the morning to shake the rust off and not be a hazard to people around me. But by the time I got the hang of it again I was so tired I called it a day. Skiing is exhausting if you’re not used to it.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:05 PM
so what?
the bottom line is their product is a contest to see who can do the coolest looking stuff. danger doesn’t make something exciting because a gator could pop out at any time or an aneurysm or what have you while fishing or synchronized swimming.
and no, while anyone can’t do what these guys do, “anyone” cannot bowl at the elite level and NO WAY “anyone” can play chess at an elite level either. but bowling and chess HAVE A POINT.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:07 PM
I jumped on a snowboard for the first time in 7 years last year. At the top of squaw valley in Lake Tahoe is not recommended for trying to pick it up again. Talk about shitting your pants.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:08 PM
oh. nevermind!
September 17th, 2012 at 5:08 PM
ive only been skiing once, but i fucking loved it. i need to get rich and whiter so i can join a CC and go skiing in the winters. mmmyesssss.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:09 PM
I’m a big fan of the ski mountains that convert their runs to bobsled tracks in the summer and let you go down them on those shitty street luge / go kart hybrids. Bunch of them in upstate NY.

I was at Heavenly in February. My sense of balance was so off for the first hour of skiing that a girl, she could not have been more than 8 or 9, flew by me so fast that I fell on my ass even though I was stopped and standing still near a trail sign. It was embarrassing to say the least.

My dad took all of us (two boys, three/maybe four girls) skiing *once*. It ended with him slamming the back door of the station wagon so hard all the window glass shattered and we drove down with the cold winds a-blowin’.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:24 PM
im not denying it’s interesting, and this little tangent on whether or not it qualifies as sport is pointless, especially since i abhor the topic re: golf. so…sorry, i guess.
im still blown away though that he’s got a q-rating in the same rarefied air as those guys mentioned. i still don’t understand it, but it’s a rating on marketability right? dont give a shit about that either…but think about that for a second. it’s a RATING ON HOW MUCH OTHER PEOPLE CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF YOU.
that might be the most ethically disgusting thing ive ever heard.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:26 PM

I don’t know the exact number, but Tiger has made far more money on endorsements than tourney winnings.
