Sutton Says: Braun The Bachelor? Brewers Leftfielder Turns Down ABC’s Offer

I asked Braun if he would like to be either on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars,” or our network’s other big hit “The Bachelor.” And he told me that “The Bachelor” actually called him to be on the show. Braun the Bachelor. Has a nice ring to it, but unfortunately, he said thanks, but no thanks—much to the dismay of female fans in Milwaukee and around the country.

Now, had Braun accepted the invite, he wouldn’t have been the first professional athlete to be on the show. Former Giants quarterback, and current ESPN announcer, Jesse Palmer was “The Bachelor” a few seasons ago. Palmer picked a lady, but didn’t propose to her and a few weeks later they broke up.

One of the following is real as of 8:03 PM on June 10th, 2009:
Jose Canseco will announce he is breaking up with his girlfriend and that he’d love to take the spot Braun was offered. Oh, and Curt Schilling would like to say he’d love to be on Dancing with the Stars, but there are just too many damn Hollywood Liberals. And Jeff Kent will be on Superstars alongside the Doritos Girl. And Barry Bonds… well…

Ryan Braun is a sexy dude and I'm not even gay.

But you would be if Ryan Braun asked you to be?

I have a feeling that if you're Ryan Braun, every day is like being on The Bachelor.

(I'm not gay or anything, but...) If Ryan Braun asked me to bear his child, I wouldn't say "yes", but I'd at least consider the surgical ramifications.

I don't wanna sound gay or nothin', but he would look really sexy in that scene.

He's a handsome devil alright.

Maybe I'm not a good judge of men's attractiveness, but Braun looks like a bug-eyed goof to me.

Beano should at least be happy that Ryan Braun's history-making season is getting some media attention.

I got a Braun poster at a Miami baseball game. As it hangs, his big green eyes pierce my very soul.

He kinda looks like Rocco Baldelli if you ask me.

I think Braun always looks like he's about to burst into tears. I wish he were on my team though.

Braun would be good, but I think this guy would be better.

Braun's a smart guy. He's well aware of the fact that if he appeared on the Bachelor, he'd probably later end up trapped in a remote Wisconsin cabin with his #1 fan, a septugenarian Brewers fan. Not worth the risk.

his #1 fan, a septugenarian Brewers fan.


Who BTW labored to convince me that I (or rather, the Yahoo autodraft) had erred in picking Braun this year because he was secretly hurt & wouldn't pay.

Clearly, HW wanted Braun all to himself.

Gef:

Sorry. The back was an issue.

I was clearly mistaken.

Jose should break up with that ditzy blonde. Last week she attempted to get Jose to fight me and a friend, and if he had, I guarantee his ankles would have taken a biting they wouldn't soon recover from...
