Sports streakers need to show some balls

Sports streakers, I can clearly see you’re nuts.

We’re all seem ‘em, if you’ll pardon the pun, but you’ll got to at least show a little crack to get a laugh, unlike the liquored-up quack at the Byron Nelson Championship that got really daring and stripped down to his boxers, ran across the fairway and hopped a fence.

Go big of, for crying out loud, go home. Even if you, uh, big is just a moment in your dreams. Do what the rest of us do. Blame the shower or cold weather.

I mean, some guy have to get at least an ‘A’ for effort, like that Calgary Flames legend that scaled the boards wearing nothing but a pair of red socks before coming out on the wrong side of the laws of physics once he hit the ice. But hey, he gave the A-OK as he was carted off on a stretcher.

So, doing a little cut and paste job from my blog over at Fairways Golf, here are my Top 10 that should one day be enshrined in the Streakers Hall of Fame:

10. This guy gets the award for most cops required to haul off a drunken naked man.



9. Bet you never thought you would see a naked guy wearing just a chicken at a bonspiel. Think again.



8. It took security guards four minutes – literally - to catch this streaker so, at the end of his little game of catch me if you can, he figured he was going down anyway so he might as well score.



7. This is the right way to streak in golf. Well, unless you happen to be male.



6. Mom would be so proud. Well, this guy is anyway.



5. Some guys go to a tennis match to show off their gymnastics skills. Among other things.



4. Wasn’t this the guy in Chariots Of Fire? Great form…or at least a heck of a lot better than his pursuers.



3. Best friends, together forever. Even at bail hearings.



2. A must for public streaking: too much beer. But, dude, ditch the black socks. Seriously.



1. The best golf streaker of all time, the legendary Mark Roberts at the ’95 British Open. Coincidentally, the event was won by one John Daly. Go figure.



But beware. You’ll get laughs but remember, it was Confucius, I believe, that once said “man who streak soon have crackup.”
