I'm sick of it...
People, as a whole - you are all stupid!
Every time I read the sports page; gossip, hearsay, accusations!!!
Whatever happened to - scores, standings and transactions???
Look, I love sports. Great pastimes those Sports, all of them. However, get a life!
Does anyone need to hear a soundbite from Barry Lamar Bonds everytime he ponders the meanings of life?
Great Baseball player, that
Barry Bonds. That's where it ends! Maybe he can dance a jig, maybe he can whip up some fine stir-fry, it's possible he can juggle running chainsaws. Other than the fact he is a great baseball player and gets paid handsomely to do so, is anything else about him relevant to you? Any of your business? Seriously...
If he did or didn't take enhancing substances, or if his flaxseed oil was made from green mamba sweat, if he's popping greenies or snorting dried Leprechaun brains or praying to Jobu, I don't care! And neither did anyone else when it was September 2001 and Barry was splashing them in the 'Cove, helping a scorned nation heal. No one complained then; and WHY? would they?
Look, sports are supposed to be fun, but TOO many people look to 'SPORTS' to fill some blaring inadequacy in their personal being. This is why so many losers are Yankees fans. They make themselves feel better by attaching themselves to a winning franchise... OR, let's find every ounce of dirt on someone so we can say we're better than these 'cheaters'.
Maybe you are better than them (and me for that matter)...I've never personally met Barry Bonds, (I've heard he's a jerk - mostly from people that could be considered jerks themselves) I have seen him hit 2 jacks in a game TWICE (Once with the Pirates) but I'm sure if we got to talking, he'd probably bore me as fast as any other regular schmuck on the street. I'm not going to ask either one for their autograph (what is the point of autographs anyway? - unless it's on a check)
Dude is living his life and will pay the consequences for his actions good or bad. Just like you, too.
My accountant couldn't hit a tee-ball, let alone a splitter 500 feet, my accountant can drink all of the caffeine, eat all the greenies, smoke meth, wear a dress, beat his dog, I don't care! Just do the job right and I'm happy... and it won't be front page news.
I'm just a sports fan, enjoying the drama that matters most - ON THE FIELD OF PLAY. Save the drama B.S. for Jerry Springer...
Cheating and baseball are magical together - it's part of the lore - spitballs, corked bats, Shoeless Joe, pine tar, sandpaper, thumbtacks, A.J Pierzynski...
