Five for Friday
These are 5 things that are tweeting me the wrong way in sports on this Friday.
#5 Steroids in Baseball We all know steroids is there and has been there so why are people trying to draw this whole list of players that may or may have not taken performance enhancing drugs. We already know the big names or do we? Let’s take the advice from Hammering Hank Arron and White Sox coach Ozzie Guillen and lets see all these names. I don’t want to go another year of baseball and then right before playoffs lets drop a few more and then spring training another few lets just hear the whole story now and get done with the whole madness.
#4 Pre Season Football Please I just can’t get excited about Pre Season football. I just saw an article about Peyton Manning having a good game during the Philadelphia Eagles last night. It’s PRE SEASON! If Brett Favre can’t get excited about Pre Season football how are all the rest of us supposed to get excited. How about just have two games and then lets get it on sure the first couple games might not be the greatest quality but then add an extra bye week for the teams to work on Pre Season training. Less games means less injuries to star players in Pre Season.
#3 Notre Dame Hype We all know Notre Dame is one of the most prestigious programs in college football. However lets stop trying to praise an program that still needs a lot of work right now. Jimmy Clausen if you turn into the next Joe Montana I will check it out however this team has been terrible the last two years and if you just think this team is going to run off a perfect season just because the the older guys are more motivated um yeah right. Last time I checked this team is still far inferior to any major program so lets get through a half dozen games and then lets do some predicting but right now they are burying their own graves. I love hype but lets hype a team that has won recently more than Notre Dame.
#2 Chicago Bears Lets tone it down a notch everybody. Jay Cutler is a good quarterback but really is he going to have enough to throw to this season? Devon Hester is not a premier wide receiver and yet everyone thinks the passing attack will still be improved from a year ago. A quarterback is only as good as their surrounding cast and this cast might be the worst on paper in the NFC North and that includes the Lions. I just hope that someone does step up this year and makes me eat my own words because I want to see it but do not believe it yet.
#1 The Press mad at Brett Favre Hey any football fan should be happy Brett Forever will play again this year. John Madden just cired a little and I love Brett Favre despite him being a rival to my favorite team for most of his career and believe he should be able to play for anyone and as long as he wants. Yet, what people in the press are tired of the whole Brett Favre drama every year? I mean the guy has helped sell newspapers and put money in reporters pockets for the last few years during this time of year which in many critics eyes is the dog days of summer where stories are more about over hyped Pre Season Football and off the wall debates on early college football rankings. It is Brett Favre and he deserves the attention so if you all guys are tired of covering him well you know you can call me anytime and I will report on Brett Favre 7 days a week if that means a job.
Just five things going on in superdad’s world hope you enjoyed.
