Favre Too Much ESPN

They have done it again. I guess they almost have to at this point, or at least they can't help themselves, but it is amazingly annoying, aggravating, or down right frustrating that these people contiue to get away with creating stories.  They may even turn out to be right this time, although they are wrong more often than right, but we are half way through day two of non-stop analysis, discussion, and reflection on Brett Favre's career, and impending retirement, without any announcement from Favre or the Minnesota Vikings.

On top of simply creating  the story, there are also no shortage of opinions on whether this "decision," and I use the term very loosely, was a good decision or bad, was good for Favre or bad, fair to the Vikings or not!!  Who at ESPN is truly qualified to speak to any of these questions at all.  There are a couple of folks, but not many, and the ones that are ex-NFLers do a great job with this "story," the only problem is that it is not even an actual story yet.  The least qualified of all of these folks, who shall remain nameless because I don't want to give him that much credit, now has his own bus.  There is no way that anyone other than Madden, Jaws, or Mike and Mike should have their own buses.

It would just be nice to see ESPN cover actual sports NEWS, as opposed to creating, and covering, sports gossip!!

Thank you ESPN for spurring today's sports thought!!

Worst Three Days In Sport

For the absolute sports fan, not just baseball fan, but sports fan this is definitely the worst three days in sports, right now. From three days starting today, there is nothing to watch. This is true every year, but with this being a World Cup year, ended yesterday, and with Lance effectively done, it is so much worse.

Want to know how much worse? ESPN has found almost nothing to write about, and that is saying something. I am sure they are sitting back in their offices in Connecticut hoping that another University of Tennessee football or basketball player will do something else that defies all logic and intelligent thought of any kind, but if not there is just nothing going on. Maybe they should have paid Lebron a little more for his hour to move it to this week.

Hockey finished up a while ago, basketball just a couple of weeks ago, football, well aside from a very brief and uneventful Brett Favre sighting, nothing to report there, and baseball had a few guys swing for the fences tonight, which entertained the beer drinking, own fart smelling baseball fan, and tomorrow night is the All-Star game, the best young pitcher in baseball won't be there, that would have made me watch, and no matter what the managers do, this game still ultimately means very little.

Thursday the New York Yankees and Tampa play, and The Red Sox welcome Texas and their newly acquired Cy Young candidate, and The Open Championship begins, please Tiger, please!!

Thank you ESPN for spurring today's sports thought!! or lack thereof!!
