Idiocy of those who cover sports

I have for a long time always talked about how many people who cover sports are Idiots! Whether they are one of the various writers or one of ESPN's many "Talking Heads" 

Naturally anyone talking about Idiots covering sports, the first two words out of their mouth should automatically be Skip Bayless! Discussing his idiocy one could write a whole novel, so I won't start down that road, at least not in this post. I will just say that any grown man who goes by Skip should not be allowed in public, much less on national TV.

So back to my point, obviously people who cover sports are not all bad, it is just that a lot of them tend to say (or write) really stupid things, for example I was reading an article on the results of this years NBA draft http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/nba-draft-filled-with-stunning-moves-062713 and when talking about the Cavs #1 pick Anthony Bennett, the writer (who is not identified) drops this nugget "The Cavs must have fallen in love with Bennett’s ability to put the ball on the floor". Doesn't that kind of go against the whole point of  basketball? Kinda difficult for a player to put the ball through the hoop if he is so good at putting it on the floor! Plus they can't keep putting it on the floor all the time anyway it goes against that pesky rule on dribbling.

Another thing that bugs me more than anything is when you are listening to the game commentators (usually one of the ones who never played any sport a single day in his life!) describing what he thinks the team should do in a given situation, for example a football team who is facing a 3rd and long situation, the team runs the play the commentator described (as if he called it in directly to the huddle himself) the play fails, and Mr. Expert immediately starts talking about why that play was such a terrible idea, and says I would have done this; which is normally the exact opposite of his previous brilliant suggestion!

Here we go again

So I started doing this Blog way back in the Winter of 2006, when I was inspired by a friend that it is a good way to pass time. And I did need to pass some time because I was currently deployed as a member of C co 1-17 INF, Diablos, 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team.

So I followed my friends advice and started this blogging thing, which I originally started on MySpace. I was having a good time writing about my opinion on things, things or people they bug me, or what I viewed as common everyday Idiocy!

After I started I went on writing for a while, then I stopped, and this cycle would continue for about every 6 months. So I am back onto the writing phase and this time I don't plan on stopping.

So now after a few technical glitches and other mistakes and having to restart a couple of times, here it is me sharing my opinion of the world with the world!
