Many stupid things happened in American sports this week. The Bills started a fifth-round pick in his rookie season for no good reason against the Chargers, and he threw five interceptions in the first half to repay them. Former NHL stalwart Jeremy Roenick caught a rattlesnake with his golfing equipment. But somehow, Bruce Arena was still the dumbest thing in American sports this week, and he doesn’t even have a full-time job requiring him to make sports decisions anymore.
Fox’s decision to put Bruce Arena on the broadcast team against Portugal was only a slightly less-worse decision than Bruce Arena’s decision to accept their offer, since Fox probably got a slight bump for hate-views, while nothing positive came Arena’s way.
