The End of the World

And I feel fine, but I'm not so sure about sports

Are sports getting ruined these days? Many people seem to think so.

I LOVE SPORTS!, but im not going to lie, all this garbage is leading to my boredom.

Lets break this down, sport by sport

College Football: It seems like these days, every team is being investigated. The whole Bush scandal at USC angered me. Now, the entire SEC basically? seriously? I completely agree with Nick Saban. These kids need to stay away from agents. Any agent caught contacting an underclassmen should be suspended for a minimum 2 years. Florida, South Carolina, Alabama are all caught in this weird web. Also, Vanderbilt has lost their head coach. He resigned, which came as a shock to many, or at least to me.

Not to mention, all of this confusion about "super-conferences." They already have them, theyre called BCS schools. Speaking of the BCS, this needs to change. Top 16 teams in a playoff. Its not fair? Oh, well, it works for the 1AA, Div 2, and Div 3. Sell all games on tv. thats where the money should come from, not these big shot corporate sponsors. Because Chick-Fil-A wants advertisement, you have to screw Boise State, TCU, Utah, etc. Thats not right

NFL: First issue: safety. With the iminant expansion of the NFL season, safey becomes a HUGE issue. Fans however seem to be for this. I love football, and i want to see more and more of it. But im also a smart fan. I, like everyone, have favorite players. By expanding the regular season, theyre shortening the careers of some "workhorse" players.

Example: Stephen Jackson, who makes a living running people over. Now think, after 8 seasons, he wil have played the equivalency of 9 FULL seasons. Thats cutting his career short. And then what about playoff teams. Players like Jason Witten, Joseph Addai, and Lawrence Maroney who will more than likely be playing 18 and then another 1 to 4 games after that. Can these people really take that much abuse, and sustain a great career. Probably yes, but its lot less likely.

Next issue: LA does NOT need a team, SHUT UP

Third issue: Contracts. Why have only 3 first round draft picks signed one? Because, players are greedy. People like Tim Tebow, a mediocre quarterback at best, is holding out for more money. Im going to LOVE seeing some Defensive End rip him apart. Follw suit of Dez Bryant, who i think was the most naturally talented player in the draft. To secure his spot at camp, and on the team, he took a "modest" contract. Im sick of players, playing for money. Look at Brett Favre, he plays on pure emotion and love of football.

Last issue: Rodger Goodell says that the NFL is "all about the fans." If that is true, why the hell is there even the thought of no NFL next year. Get it done, or you will lose so much money.

NBA: What is this thing about a "big three?" Yes, you need "superstars," but last I knew, there were 5 guys. Kevin Garnet, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen. What about Perkins, Rondo, Davis, Scalabrine. that sounds like a big 7 to me. Now Dwayne Wade, Lebron james, and Chris Bosh. Well, what about the others in Miami. And now, my favorite, Chris Paul, Carmello Anthony, and Amare Stoudemire? Yeah, three great players. But, how cohesive are they? What kind of help are they getting without Harrington, or Lee. They have Toney Douglas. Who is he? This is, if it even happens.

MLB: Steroids. Need I say more?

NHL: 17 year contracts? Seriously?

Also, Sydney Crosby is a professional athlete. Dont ge pissed at him because he won the gold medal game against the US. How many people would be this pissed if Dirk Nowitski hit a game winning shot against US Basketball for Germany? Not even close. so, leave him alone.

If you have any more issues, i would love to hear them.

Feel free to comment. Thank you
