A pleasure to read you again.<BR/>Maybe it's time for sports to be called sports and professional sports to be called business entertainment. Similarly, why not an all-drug-enhanced Olympics? No wonder that people are going to minor-league games -- that's the only way you can see real sports today. While it is true that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, it is just as true that money corrupts and tons of money.... So maybe professional sports on TV just needs a crawl running across the bottom of your screen reading "business, entertainment, this is not really a sports game being played here" and similar.Decayed Athletenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11979512.post-34923714184166998142008-06-11T12:42:00.000-05:002008-06-11T12:42:00.000-05:00You're back! So good to have you back Ironic- your insights have been missed.<BR/><BR/>You're dead on- it'd be no surprise the various leagues are monkeying with who advances in the playoffs. It's all about revenue baby.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see what you tackle (if the NFL will let you) next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
