Peyton Manning to leave?!?!?

According to ESPN sources Peyton Manning will leave and end up at some other team and may do well, so on and so forth.

What I find more annoying is that loyalty to a player/team doesn't exist in sports anymore. Just the way a person would have loyalty to a company they work for.

It's crazy how our society is. Back when our grandparents were younger, they worked for a company, they retired with the same company. Now-a-days you move around several companies and who knows where you end up.

Sports is kind of the same now. When I was younger, a player was on a team and they stayed on that team. Cal Ripken Jr. with the Orioles. Jim Kelly with the Bills, Dan Marino with the Dolphins. I could go on forever, but there is no need. Now, it seems like teams don't want to hold onto their icons. Peyton Manning made Indianapolis. They sucked without him before they had him and when ever he is hurt. I know you have a chance to draft a quarterback that will probably be all that with Andrew Luck. But talk about putting all your eggs in one basket.

I think Luck will be one of the best of all time. But what if he gets hurt on the field the first game. It happens all the time.

At the same token, people like Albert Pujos leave a team where a entire city loves them. I guess you get more money but when you get 100 million a year or what ever it is, do you really need more. Why would you leave?

I have no respect for players like that.

The Uni-brow

Anthony Davis from Kentucky is quite the athlete.

I don't really like Kentucky or coach Calipari but they are a decent team and led by POY candidate Anthony Davis. Most people see a great athlete, I truly can't get past one thing about him....

The Uni-brow.

Now I understand some men don't like to clean themselves up or what ever. But seriously? You are one of the most noticeable people in college basketball and you are not going to clean yourself up.

I mean if you were a scrub and never really played that's another story but, you are one of the best. Do you do it to just to be different or so people recognize you?

Aren't you afraid people will confuse you with this guy:

I feel like that would be a major concern. But that's just me.

So now I hope my team, Purdue, if they face the all mighty uni-brow they can defeat it in an epic battle.

Anyway, the whole rant is the fact that every time I see him on ESPN I just want to shave it off. He would even look better with no eyebrows but for what ever reason he is going to keep that look.

I guess I am the one in the wrong and should just hop on the bandwagon. Well, sign me up with a shirt....

Headlines are evil

This is a bit old but for those that don't know, a ESPN editor was fired for using the headline, "Chink in the armor" which is a term that shouldn't have been used in general since it didn't make sense to the story, but it was and it's kinda funny.

The editor who used it apparently didn't know that it is a derogatory saying to use toward the Asian population, I don't know how you don't know, but maybe that's why I don't work at ESPN.

Since the incident, we had to have a talk at our paper about headlines. I love it, we don't make a mistake and they treat us like little children who don't know how to write headlines. I guess since ESPN is suppose to be "the best of the best" it is a mistake we would make too.

Since that incident, Danica Patrick won the poll at the Nationwide series in Nascar, yes I watch Nascar and screw you too.

The term that would be used for someone who won the poll would be, "Danica Patrick sits on the poll."

Now, obviously we can't use that anymore. I think it's rather funny and I think editors should be able to use it but now that we live in this over the top political correctness society, we can't say something that may or may not be construed the wrong way. Honestly, I am sick of it all. People need to stop being so sensitive and take some humor in life.

I don't think you should be racist or sexist, but the term, "Chink in the armor" or "Danica Patrick sits on the poll" should be allowed to be used regardless of race and sex.

Oh and speaking of stereotypes, Danica crashes in the race and they say it wasn't her fault. Sounds like every women I have ever heard after they get in an accident, "It wasn't my fault." Sure it wasn't.

I hate this part of the season

There is truly nothing interesting going on in sports right now.

Yes college basketball is amazing but it's near the end where I just want to see the conference tournaments and March Madness.

NHL is not even near its end and ESPN is stuck showing me NBA all the time.

Which brings me to my main point. The NBA sucks. The best days of my life were knowing it was in lockout and there was a chance that it wouldn't be on.

I know there are so many people that agree with this and it makes me wonder why more college athletes don't stay to play for their college.

I know they leave to make money, but it's kinda sad. That's all they care about and there is no passion for the school they are going to, it's just a step they don't want to take in between making money.

It truly makes me happy I went to a school where athletes rather stay there all four years and realize how important that not only a college degree is, but what it takes to be a Boilermaker and be respected forever from your Alma Mater.

Your college will always be yours, A professional team can trade you and you will be hated by a city.
