I'm tired.
No...exhausted.
Actually...just plain bored with many sport stories this year.
I wish for less bark and more bite when it comes to what I'm force fed on a daily basis.
This isn't an issue exclusive to sports, but seeing as this is a sports site I'll spare you, and save the rest for another platform.
I see and hear it everytime I have the misfortune of listening to sports commentary. Of course there are some great reporters out there. Yes, the majority of the ESPN cast is entertaining and fun to watch...but they are surely in the minority.
I know this is a novel idea—but when I turn on a game, I'd like to know about...oh I don't know...the game perhaps?!
Get rid of the fluff, get rid of the filler, stick to the field play on the field, and let me enjoy sports for sports.
When did sports become a synonym for soap opera? Why do I need to know what a player's favorite song is, or what his favorite food is?
Please stop trying to sell the drama! Who cares?
Which brings me to my list. My "So What List" consisting of sport stories or tidbits of useless information that have been blasted across the television screen, websites, and airwaves throughout the year.
The Mitchell Report
I could go on for hours about this one, but the fact of the matter is that this report is toothless at best. You have a list of players that everyone already suspected of juicing, a good portion of which no longer play the game, and now what?
The report has left us with more questions than answers, and now the airwaves are going to be dominated with every little bit of info or rumor involving steroids and HGH. Great!
Spygate
I'm so tired of hearing about this stupid "issue".
Was this weekend's game actually pegged as "Spygate II"? Give me a break!
You want to solve the problem? Just eliminate any and all filming at the game. Peroid.
Let's put it to rest please. The Pats were caught, they admitted it, they paid the price. They're not the only team to do it, and the whole thing has been blown way out of proportion! Just play football and shut up!
T.O. and Randy Moss
