Please, Not This Again! by Daniel
There are some stories that I just can’t get enough of. There are athletes who grab my attention no matter what they are talking about.
On the other hand, there are some players and story lines I am so sick of — I mean really just tired, fed up and flat out done with. Everyone has a list so here is mine:
No More, Please, List …
Mike Tyson (Let’s see. He raped a women … Enough said!)
Terrell Owens (I don’t care that he did a TV show and dont care if he celebrates. Great player, just tired of his act.)
Yankees (All of them. I got Sporting News Magazine last night, and they had a big story on Cano and Cabrera. Really, who cares.)
NFL Draft (Nobody can predict how good these kids will be in the big time, so why waste hours listening to Mel Kiper Jr. flap his lips? By the way, most his information comes from agents. How right could he possibly be?)
Chris Berman (This is my sportscaster wild-card pick. He does a nice job, but why does he have to scream and sweat so much? One bad thing about having HD.)
With that said, there are some stories and athletes I would like to get more of. Here is that list …
College Football Coaches (They just all seem a little crazy. The hours they work, the stress they go through. Think about the fact that their lives depend on 18-, 19-, 20-year-old kids, who are just as worried about girls as the next game.)
Golf Caddies (Talk about a cool job. But I would like to know more. How are they treated by the golfers they work for? How much more do they really make? Does the best caddy help a golfer very much compared to the worst caddy? And, how they feel about wearing those white uniforms at The Masters?)
Red Sox Nation (Did you know they really have a president, and a lot of people in the Nation tatoo Red Sox inside their lip? Not kidding!)
Dan Patrick (He just really does not take himself seriously. His radio show is great and maybe even better after leaving ESPN. Talk about guts to leave that network because you need a change.)
So, this is just a small list, but it’s a good start. What is your list?
My list only has two entries:
1. Jr. Nation. Bleah.
2. Whiny Sonics fans.
