Malone delivers the DNA
The Deseret News' Michael Black writes an astonishing article about retired Jazz great Karl Malone. Here's just a taste*:Whatta guy! What a role model for all of us.After spending 19 years of focusing on basketball 24/7, it is odd to hear about Karl Malone the husband, father and family man.
"My typical day begins about 5 or 5:30 in the morning. I'll get up, go train for a while and then help my kids get ready," he said. "I like to make sure that my kids get off to school. I either take them or just make sure they get there."
Even in retirement, Malone's main focus is still delivering.
Black has apparently bumped his head and forgotten (the article never even hints it) that Malone has fathered children that he failed to acknowledge for years. That's not counting a son who says dear ol' dad as "delivered" little more than some DNA.
Malone refuses to acknowledge as his son Demetrius Bell, drafted by the Buffalo Bills. But Bell is doing OK:
I treat it as if my mother went to the sperm bank. I don't hate him for [not being in my life]. It made me a better person.Pithy sentiment, but not something Hallmark would put on a Father's Day card.
So you can understand why I got concerned when I read this quote in Black's wet kiss on the Mailman's backside:
"I am writing in my journals things as I see them. I'm not writing it to be published, but more for me and my family. Maybe someday I will get them together and print off 20 copies or so and give them to my kids, but it is just for us."Yikes! Does that mean there's another dozen or so Karl and Karlottas scampering around out there?
*Vomit alert!

Looks like the Trib is desperate to score points against the News. Why don't you guys stick to your own work and mind your own business?
Only Mormons have the authority to print anything about Family Values™ because they invented them.
These article seems to include little substance on the issue of Demetrius Bell, and more abotu pickign apart a Des News article.
It is okay, you can come up with your own material.
I'm surprised this one got past your editors.
To Anonymous posters at 1:22PM and 10:33PM you two need to grow a pair. 1. It is a blog, so it doesn't need to get past an editor. 2. Karl Malone, while being an INCREDIBLE basketball player, still need some lessons in manhood. He didn't acknowledge is estranged daughter until she was in college and had already made it. And know sadly he doesn't acknowledge a son his sperm created. Really classy! My name is Jason Mac.
