Respecting Joe Calzaghe

dont tell him that. the guy will hang himself

 

News of the World?

It may has well have been written in my wife's primary school newspaper.

 

I agree

 

I guess he definitely ain't planning on coming back. I wonder if he'll lose his CBE?

 

Is that also known for its lack of credibility and morally questionable reporting?

 

What? The school newspaper? ****ing too right.

Brad Pitt, Angelena Jolie, Ali Dizaei and Paul Burrell all had a go at them for the stories News of the World printed. I'm sure their editor Piers Morgan who published pictures of British troops torturing an Iraqi man had to walk because they were fake.

 

To the best of my knowledge Joe has never projected this goody two shoes image himself. Admittedly the media has sometimes credited him with that image but that has never been based on any actual evidence.

If you are famous and swan around London in all the trendy bars and restaurants then the British press will credit you with a certain reputation but if you basically stay in your home town and don't act like a big time charlie (pardon the pun) then the press will give you this image of a pipe and slippers man and in bed by 9 with a cup of cocoa.

Just because he still lives in the same small village where he grew up and doesn't act like a prima donna like other "celebrities" doesn't mean that he doesn't like the odd line or that he doesn't go to midget orgy parties.

 

dude u are very naive.

 

I can see your point but i'm not going to give Joe to much **** for it and in reality most people won't either (im talking about the general public, not the gutter press).

I take the stuff myself but admittedly im not a top athlete so its not the same but at least Joe didn't take the stuff whilst he was still competing. Not that i would see anything morally wrong with that, its just that taking that **** isn't good for the body plus you run the risk of getting found out and banned.

 

Is it just me thinking this; has Calzaghe's popularity risen slightly since this POS story came about?

Joe's the man. :good

 

He's not a "top athlete" anymore. If he wants to do a line or two on his night out, that's his choice. If he was going out and drinking 10 beers a night, would that be better for you?
