Topics of the News

Hey I have been away for a bit, but here are some thoughts.

Mike Vick
I don't care....2 yr deal with the Eagles..This brings up the question.....Who is more popular in Philly..... Ron Mexico or Santa Claus? This tarnishes the Liberty Bell, Rocky, the William Penn Curse and the World Series win. I mean Andy Reid cant even control his kid....ouch.

Rick Pitino
I don't care....another high paid sports figure that got caught cheating on his wife. That's not news to me.

Golf + Olympics
What took this so long and why does Tiger have to back it up to make it work. Why didn't Arnie, Jack and Ben bring this up decades ago. If so we could have seen some great golf. Imagine the 1996 Olympics down the road at Augusta....with a Gold Medal on the line. If we get this going now, it will be 2016..Tiger will be 40, he will have all of the records and maybe this is motivation for him. Golf and the Olympics is a perfect match. The ratings are high and as long as Tiger is around they will continue to climb. The game is already International, the game has multiple formats and there are already country rivalries.

Yankees
Lose Damn it

Madden 10
I don't know about you but I haven't been competitive in this game in years. Pretty soon the kids playing this won't even know who Madden is....POW!!!!!

UFC
Someone needs to tell Dana White the story of Tony George. Dana thinks he is bigger than the sport. People watch UFC for the sport not for him. Tony George thought he and Indy was bigger than the sport and started his own Racing League. Big mistake that cost the fans many great races that put the best racers on the track together. Dana needs to worry about putting the best fighters in the ring and the rest will take care of itself.

And last but not least....STEROIDS......
The Baseball Hall of Fame needs to open the door to players or lock it up and throw away the key. Also, sports is here to entertain us. Sports has a drug problem, Congress has gotten involved, the public condemn the athlete's. How many drug related deaths has sports had? When are the record labels and movie studios gonna drug test their people? When is Congress going to get involved? How many more Belushi's, Farley's, Joplin's, Morrison's, are we going to lose before they step in???
