Scattered stuff surrounding the sporting world
When he threw that interception in overtime I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. That may have been the worst football game I have ever seen. Now I realize it was cold, but hey...there were women in the stands wearing bikinis, so it could not have been that brutal. I hate to say it but maybe the last pass Farve throws in his career should be an interception. The time to move on has come. Now it will take him about three months to decide what to do and so the Packers will be in limbo.....I say cut your losses and be done with it all. Speaking of the Giants beating the Packers, that now sets up a date with the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42(I am not good with roman numerals). The Patriots will be looking to go 19-0 and set the record for most wins in a perfect season. It may be the most anti-climactic Super Bowl ever as New England has pretty much beaten everyone like they stole something. Sure New York played them close the last week of the regular season, but close doesn't matter and the same stuff that worked back then will not be effective when they meet in February. But to be honest, the state of professional sports is really to the point where the casual fan, and some ardent followers, are about ready to turn their backs on the games. Look at major league baseball, some of the greatest players of our lifetime have been implicated and accused of using performance enhancing drugs. If that is true then I think the record books should be wiped clean. Even if that means that some of the New York Yankees', my favorite team, having to relinguish some world championships, then that is just the way it will have to be. I think a strong message should be sent, in any sport, when someone has been proven of a wrong-doing. I think that too many times the powers-that-be in pro sports want to keep their leagues from getting a black eye, so they try and smooth things over. One league that has changed that is the NFL. If you mess up, that commissioner will suspend you for several games and in some cases he will kick you out for an entire season. Just because someone makes that much money to play sports, it does not give them an automatic get-outta-jail free card and it is good to see someone stepping up and trying to keep athletes at the same standard that regular folks are held up to. Well, get ready for the wild ride for the next two weeks that will be Super Bowl hype. I plan on going to Joe Cain Day instead of even watching the game.
That's all folks........
