Mondays, huh? They’re the worst. Not to mention, when you get through them, you still have four more days and 32 more hours of work. Most professional athletes do not have anything resembling the 9 to 5 slate the majority of corporate America sloshes through. Many athletes work hard, but there’s something about these following 15 that tells me they’d be earning nothing but Donald Trump’s catchphrase.

The artist formerly known as Artest admitted to drinking hard liquor before Chicago Bulls games. Sorry Metta, but you’re not Don Draper and that wasn’t the 1960s.

Too much temper, too little self control. Tony Stewart is talented but not worth the liability. In Stewart’s mind, if he’s not smashing another employee’s face in the fax/printer/copier, then he’s not doing his job.

Pay Haynesworth too highly, and he’ll sink your company. Force Haynesworth to take a conditioning test, and he’ll fail that, too.

Adam Dunn looks like he barely works at being a Major Leaguer. How do you think he’d cope with sitting in a cubicle?

Kwame Brown is the guy you hire out of college with the strong resume, only you later find out it was nothing but embellishment and strong adverbs. After a few days, you’ll consider firing Brown, leading the journeyman to become another company’s problem.

Russell can probably still throw a football 60 yards from one knee, but you’ll likely want to keep him just as far away from your office.

If your company is going into the red, it’s probably because of this A-hole. Bode Miller will not always have your company’s best interest at heart, and he will likely be “looking to party” during Tuesday morning staff meetings.

Vince Young effectively retired at the age of 22. Don’t expect anything from this hire, except for throwing balled-up wads of paper sidearm into a trash can.

You’ll hear the squeaking of knee braces from around the corner, and wonder “who could this be?” You see it’s Matt Leinart and you get excited. But although Leinart has done battle in the Coliseum, he won’t be a “Lionheart” in the office.

Manziel’s nickname is “Johnny Football,” not “Johnny Punctual.” Manziel has shown up late to Elite QB camps and checked into rehab because he couldn’t handle the taste of a silver spoon. Manziel has no need to make money and no need to make money for your business.

It’s “Manny just being Manny” until it makes you want to have Tony Stewart pin your face against copier glass.
