Look, Johnny, Just Go Away, Idiot

Johhny Damon, former Sox centerfielder, one of my favorite Sox players ever, and the new Yankee centerfielder, talks about life in New York...and contradicts himself in the very last line of this Daily News piece.

Damon also spoke of how much Manny Ramirez wants out of Boston ("I think the Yankees would be a perfect fit for him ... as well as David Ortiz," he joked) and told the crowd that he was planning to have a new hairstyle ready for spring training.

As for whether he'll be the same playful "Idiot" that he was in Boston once he steps into the Yanks' notoriously sedate clubhouse, Damon smiled.

"Yes, I will be," he said, "but a tame idiot. I can be an idiot but not be stupid."


Sorry, Johnny, too late. You're a stupid idiot. Go aways and take your money and cut your hair and pretend New York is a better city than Boston.
