Orlando Magic CEO 135x95 Orlando Magic CEO resigns after drunk dialing Dwight Howard

As a wise man once said, “nothing good happens after midnight.” Orlando Magic CEO Bob Vander Weide learned this the hard way after drunk-dialing Dwight Howard in the wee hours of the night. He’s “retired” as a result.

No, we’re not kidding and yes, this is awesome.

Vander Weide confirmed that he made a 1 a.m. phone call in recent days to Magic superstar Dwight Howard, and Howard thought Vander Weide may have been intoxicated. On that call, Vander Weide told Howard how much the Magic wanted to keep him in Orlando. “I was playing paddle with friends and had a couple of glasses of wine,” Vander Weide told BHSN. “Maybe Dwight thought it was inappropriate to talk business after a couple of glasses of wine… Maybe I should have waited until the morning.”

Dear God,

I haven’t asked you for much in life. My repeated prayers for a large breasted Playboy model has been unanswered going on 16 years now. I’m willing to forget all that if you could provide the internet with a recording of this phone call.

I ask this in Tim Tebow’s name…Amen.
