A good ol' rant

If you believed your favorite sports source worth its salt, there is no better sports story out there than the on-going feud between America's biggest and fattest child Shaq Look-at-me-I-have-three-rings-and-a-thousand-nicknames O'Neal and America's biggest diva-ish whining-egomaniacal-pretentious-supremely-talented-immeasurably-idiotic Kobe Bryant. And the coverage is so sickening, I am gonna puke.

The next time someone talks of how the Detroit Pistons, by winning the NBA championship in 2004, brought back team-concept into style, I only have to say..go look at the 2003 NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs or even the 2002 Los Angeles Fakers..oops Lakers. Detroit did it against the so-called NBA Dream Team of the LA Fakers, and voila, they are the media darlings. Egads..I am gonna be sick.

Granted, the modern-day sportsmen are entertainers in certain respects. But if another knucklehead (or Barry Bonds, if you must know) insists on letting by-gones be by-gones and to condone the rampant steroid problem in baseball, maybe its indeed time to start boycotting that dog-gone sport. If those turds cannot keep an honest-to-goodness face and work-ethic, they do not deserve even one cent of our hard-earned money.

And the next time anyone starts whining about how NFL football is better than NBA basketball or MLB baseball, I have only choice words of advise. Quit whining and start understanding the games better. Each sport is precious in its own way, be it the pulsating action on the hardwood floors of a basketball arena, the timeless and yet-strategy-driven game on a baseball diamond or the 11-guys pulling toward the common goal on the football gridiron. Just because the packaging of one sport is better does not automatically make it a better sport. Capische!

There...rant done...now I can relax...
