A Lot of Stuff

It seems to be a time where there is just a whole of stuff happening in the world of sports. So let’s take some time to talk about everything.
The talk of all the controversy going on in the NFL and the NBA seems to have temporarily subsided. The topic had its moment in the sun and now everyone has moved on; like stated in last week’s edition, people get tired of seeing criminals after awhile; until the next crime.
What people do like to see is their heroes being honored. Two of the major’s classiest players in Cal Ripkin Jr. and Tony Gwynn got their introduction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Just listening to them being interviewed by those ESPN folks, they almost seem like the perfect ballplayers. They were men who played the game so much passion, pure and joy.
The National Football League also held their Hall of Fame induction recently. What a speech by Michael Irvin huh? Wow. It was pretty impressive class altogether as well. There was a tough runningback in Thurman Thomas, a stalwart offensive tackle in Bruce Matthews along with tight end Charlie Sanders and cornerback Roger Wehrli. That’s a pretty good group to build a team around.
Barry Bonds hit number 755 and that was a great reaction from Bud Selig. More on this story in a column coming soon.
Adam “Pacman” Jones has decided to be a pro wrestler since he was suspended for the season. I’ll give you a moment to let that sink in. It’s crazy. What a great way to prove to Roger Goodell that beyond your immature ways and ready to be a responsible adult. Just go out there and put someone in a headlock while bikini girls stand around and cheer.
David Beckham has yet to appear in a competitive game for the L.A. Galaxy. Hopefully everyone will remember he has a legitimate injury before they toss him to the side. He can be a fantastic player in the MLS; when he gets out there.
The soap opera that is NASCAR steams head. Apparently some guy named Robbie Gordon thought he was the real winner in a recent race and decided to do donuts with the actual winner in protest. This along with all the guys who cuss out reporters and the drivers that push each other around in the pits. It would really be a great time to have Dale Earnhardt to make all these guys behave.
So we took some time to take a look at a little bit of everything. It’s kind of like going to your favorite buffet.
