Thoughts....

Just finished watching The Sports Reporters on ESPN that I taped this morning while I watched live tennis. Some points bear sharing...

1. Should Dante Stallworth receive a lighter sentence from Roger Goodall than Michael Vick?? A letter to Spirts Illustrated asked--since when is a dog's life more important than a human's?? Michael Vick served over 6 months in a federal prison for dog fighting. Dante Stallworth was sentenced to 30 days for killing a pedestrian while he was under the influence of both alcohol and drugs. Both crimes are wrong, but are these punishments fair??

2. Do you root for an athlete or do you root for a uniform?? Growing up, everyone voted for a team. These days of free agency and trades have caused kids to follow athletes regardless of the uniform they are wearing. I will always root for the uniform!!

3. Should Bobby Bowden be punished for academic cheating that he was unaware of?? I'm not a big Bowden fan, but that is like punishing your dog for a cat pooping in your yard!! Now if he cheated in a game or helped his players cheat--yeah, punish him.

4. When will the Cubs win a world championship?? Bob Ryan said it won't be this year. Who knows. Who cares?? I'm a fan--win or lose. Would I love to see the curse gone? Absolutely. Will my life change if it never happens?? Nope!! My happiness is not based on what grown men do on a baseball field. But, I'm not giving up hope!! Go Cubs!!

Vick and Stallworth should be hung for there crimeand shouldn't be made heroes like they're doing with Manny. You root for the team,because thy're always trading for better players. Bowden knew what was going on, he's just playing dumb. And you better stay being a Cubs fan because they are the best team in Baseball.
