This has to be the worst summer in the history of sports. It could just be the worst two weeks...but either way this summer has been slaughtered with nothing but controversy and it's really getting old.
Vick, Bonds, Selig, Stern, Donaghy...Lohan. What worse things could we be talking about? Did anyone know before last night that the Cubs had the best record in baseball since June 3? All this A-Rod business, but he hit his 499th career yard shot last night? There aren't even any serious trade talks going on in the MLB.
College Football can not get here fast enough. I'd take the NFL right now. I think I'm more fired up about the Thursday night Vest Virginia-Louisville game sometime late in the season than anything else going on in sports right now...and I don't even care about the Big East! Even though I should, those two teams are going to tear some people up this year.
The other thing about college football is that the scandals are at least entertaining and not demoralizing. I mean, we all know the NBA was fixed. My mom has been saying it since '97 and I she's right. Goes to show, Jordan>Reggie Miller+Donaghy=Karl Malone+Donaghy. How amazing was the Peter Warrick Dillard's incident? Even Free Shoes U. Or SEC coaches ratting each other out. At least that stuff comes and goes.
The biggest loser in all of these fiascoes is Virginia Tech. They were going to get the "America's Team" tag after the tragic shooting on campus last spring. I however, and I know I'm not the only, associate Michael Vick mor eso with VT than the Falcons, or dogfighting syndicates for that matter.
Even a feel good NFL story this year would be nice. Something that people can be happy about as the media has turned all of these sports scenarios in the past month into soap operas. Where's Lance Armstrong winning the Tour when you need him? Oh that's right, the guy leading the Tour got kicked off his team for not cooperating with drug testing policies. Sweet.
