I wish I could find enjoyment in sports the way I used to. These days, athletes are a bunch of pampered, drug using thugs who cover their bodies with tattoos and will all but tell you it’s not cheating if you don’t get caught. How I long for the days of Larry Bird, Dr. J, Reggie White, Dale Murphy, and the like.

I didn’t even know all that trash was on TV, then again I usually watch The History Channel or The Golf Channel.

And as for the athletes, again, get your kids into golf, they’re not perfect, but they are far better role models.

Who would you rather your kid admire, Tiger Woods or Ray Lewiss?

I'd respectfully add Mike Schmidt to that list.
