Underachieving Siblings

The list is long and not limited to just sports figure:

Eli Manning
Tim Hasselbeck
Ozzie Canseco
Billy Ripken
Qadry Ismail
Gregg Easterbrook (Frank is a Supreme Court candidate)
Frank Stallone
Billy Carter
Neal Bush


I'm sure you can think of 20 more. Now add Jamie Lynn Spears, pregnant at 16. Jeez, at least Britney pretended to want to wait til "marriage" (no matter what Fred Durst and a long line of others may say.) I'm not sure if Jamie realizes that you're supposed to get rich and famous BEFORE melting down. On the other hand, maybe this is just the grand finale to the Britney collapse. I'm betting there's more though.
As a side note, I'm NEVER HAVING A DAUGHTER.

"never having a daughter"...amen, brother. I have been saying that for years. Know how expectant fathers just say they want 10 fingers and 10 toes and healthy? Bullsquat. Having a daughter would be the realization of one of my worth nightmares. So much so that I dont want kids at all, since thats the only way to ensure it doesnt happen.

If I had a daughter, I'd let her be, um, let's say a recruiter for the athletic department at a college if she wanted. As long as she understand the concept of birth control, I don't care.

Birth control is just as important for sons, too. You don't want a son with that mess on his hands, either.

Dude, Jamie Lynn Spears was jailbait in waiting (well 16 is legal in Maryland as anybody who took the Maryland Bar will know). She clearly learned from her big sister. Unfortunately, we've all seen that the Spears girls peak at 16-18 and go downhill really fucking quickly once they hit 21. Those will be some fun family Christmases.

Brien, I dispute that. I've heard Elisabeth open her mouth, and a professional clipboard toter like Tim should have been able to at least land a smarter girl with bigger titties.

Plus, she was awful on Survivor.

J-Red said...

Big Tuna, then I'd have to mention guys like Fred Carter, Sandy Alomar, Jr., etc. I thought Billy Ripken was on the cusp of recognition.

big tuna said...

Sandy was an all star. He couldn't get the distance on his loogies though.

Maybe my guy was a bit obscure.

If we are talking underachieving siblings I would also have to add the non-Alec Baldwin brothers (Stephen, William, and Daniel). Some might argue Alec is one of the underachieving ones. And how about Dennis Quaid? Sure, he makes more money than Randy but we all know where the real talent is in that family.

J-Red said...

The funny thing about the Baldwin brothers is that you could definitely argue they all have underachieved. I rank them:

1) Alec (SNL and 30 Rock saved him, had Kim Bassinger in her prime)

2) Stephen (Usual Suspects, Celebrity Mole)

3) Daniel (Homicide alone, plus he works A LOT.)

4) William (Backdraft was 16 years ago and I think he's the one with the coke problem.)

She really looks like Brit when she was 16, doesn't she?

Now This is Happening said...

"ben" is right. This time.

Jeremy said...

I told my wife last night that I would definitely pound it (and it would be legal in Maryland). The wife said that would be fine as long as she could have a night with the guy who plays McNulty.

J-Red said...

Let's think about that Jeremy. You'd be getting a preggo 16-year-old piece of trailer trash, and your wife would get a drunken Irishman in Dominic West who probably knows exactly what to do to/with your wife.

I think you should shelve your Jamie Lynn dreams.

Does anyone else find it disturbing that Jamie Lynn's mom's name is Lynne?

Now This is Happening said...

Not as disturbing as the fact that Britney Spears is still alive.

Jeremy said...

Wow... NTIH... you really have a lot of anger in you wishing death to Britney Spears and feeling so much hate for our reader Ben a few weeks ago. I kind of like that.

"ben" said...

No, Jeremy, NTIH doesn't hate me. She said she wasn't angry about my Brady-Moynahan theory, she just thought I was wrong.

And I'm not sure she's wishing Britney dead...she may just be disturbed that someone who can be so (shall I say it?) SELF-DESTRUCTIVE can still be alive.

After all, she does drive without a seatbelt.

this is "tricia"

&& honestly you guys have no life sitting there waiting for someone elses life to screw up
i think its pathetic to talk about those girls like that because everybody has been in some shit no matter how big or small we have all made mistakes and thats what we call being a person no one in this world is perfect

but Godbless you guys and i hope that this might change your mind on a few things


peace out from a 15 year old GIRL!


ps.Dont always think its the daughters who fuck up
cause if it is then my dad would never did the things to me when i was 11 but whatever..you guys no everything right???

Wow, I'm so disappointed in everyone for bashing on these girls so much.

I mean c'mon, it's not like it's some unheard of thing, tons of PRETEENS are getting pregnant now, but you're bashing on the sixteen-year-old because she's famous.

I'm not a big fan of the Spears', but jeez. Get a life.
