It felt way to much like Entertainment Tonight or E News. The three biggest current sports stories that are all over the national media have nothing to do with an actual game.
A-Rod admits to using steroids while playing for the Texas Rangers.
Miguel Tejada pleads guilty to lying to a grand jury.
Brett Favre retires. Again.
I get 30 seconds of highlights on a NBA game and A-Rod going on and on about how he took steroids. Guess what, I don’t care. Report it then let it go. 103 other players cheated and none of them was called out. Baseball should have had rules in place and testing set up and it got exactly what it deserved. Does anyone still think baseball was clean?
I am glad Brett Favre retired because I believe he got that last little itch out. He already got all of his retirement stuff out of the way last year so this time let’s just let him go out quietly. To me his legacy is not tarnished by the last year with the Jets or coming out of retirement last year. When you are a professional athlete you should get to decide when you give it up just like any other normal person can.
I don’t know if it is just me but when I was a kid all you heard about was what happened on the field and not all this other stuff. I long for those days again. I don’t need a feel good story or a police blotter to enjoy sports. I am not naïve enough to believe that athletes don’t cause trouble or do charity work just like any non-professional athlete. I just want to root for my favorite teams and athletes and I need every detail of their private life.
