Far too many American Sheeple live for sports, or movies, or "reality" TV, or music, or whatever. They then give you a look of "what's a Ukraine" when you try to engage them in an intelligent conversation. The young people I work with were all aflutter over the Pacers-Pistons embarrassment, watching the replay on ESPN over and over, cheering every punch Artest landed. When they made the mistake of asking me what I thought about it, I told them it was disgraceful that some of the best paid people in the nation were such babies. That made their jaws drop. Then when I asked if any of them knew about reports that Border Patrol agents are catching more and more Middle Easterners crossing the border illegally, they gave me the "what's a border...is it near Taco Bell?" look. Sad, pathetic.
We've created a mess, and it's going to bite us in the a** in any number of ways in the not too distant future, I'm afraid.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
A Kentucky Wildcat fan! I'm one of those rarities, a Tennessee Vol fan who likes basketball a lot more than football. You guys are going to be tough when Tubby gets the new guys up to speed around mid-late Jan. As for us, Lofton, CJ and Scooter will shoot us to a few wins, but I'm begining to lose confidence in Buzz.
I again agree with you. Most folks are melting their minds sans drugs. All of my boys grew up to be good men husbands and fathers and two of them followed me into the Army both being in career status currently and on active duty.
One poster brought up the olympics. I kinda think Jim Thorpe began to spin in his grave when "dream teams" became legal simply so the US could dominate some sports that we were getting beaten at like basketball and hockey.
One thing that turns me off from watching olympic coverage is not with the olympics themselves or its governing body but with the network "coverage".
Anybody ever notice that competition in the shooting sports still exists but is seldom shown or shown on a delay that puts them on screen at 0300?
