Why does Yahoo think that some lame story will somehow get me interested in the Olympics? I ask this because the only time I hear anything about the games in Vancouver is when i log on and there is something about someone screwing up or got screwed by the judges, or an athlete's loved one dying or what not. These are the things forwarded from the games to my eyes via Yahoo. I have no idea who won, just weird controversy and odd stories that have little or nothing to do with the competition.
Tiger Woods has been a bad boy. This we know. Why would he or his "handlers" care about my reaction to his apology? And why is he apologizing to me? Go talk to your wife or get divorced and play golf or retire. Point is, I don't care. You would think that the people that are "outraged" would just lose respect for the man and tune out already. And the people who just want to watch the man do what he does best (vertically anyhow) are mad at him for taking time off. Get a life.
When the super bowl came around last month, lots of people assumed that I would be rooting for the colts. Here's their logic: I am an alumnus of the University of Tennessee, Peyton Manning went to UT (coincidentally at the same time as me), So i must be a Colts fan now. Well first off, I don't watch the NFL. But if I did, I would be ashamed of myself if I chose a team based on where one of their players went to school.
I will admit that I am sometimes embarassed at how much I love college football and the SEC and the University of Tennessee. Point is: We should be embarassed enough to be watching other people play a sport rather than being active ourselves. We should really think something is wrong when we try to get closer to a particular athelete (like buying jerseys with other peoples' names on the back):
But the most humiliating actions we could make would be to pay attention to atheletes for reasons other than their on field prowess. Whether those reasons are good or bad.
