So - I’m 38 and pushing 39 pretty fast - like, a few wks fast.
Here’s an article on yahoo.com: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Tiger-Woods-ambassador-of-sports-except-for-ho?urn=nhl,85795
The author’s name is in there so I’m not giving him any extra google play by being mentioned on this blog.
This article is about a couple of things:
1. Tiger Woods making a statement - paraphrased - I dont think folks watch hockey anymore
2. The author writes how Wayne Gretzky ‘rushed to the defense’ of Tiger when someone questioned whether golf had athletes
3. The author openly questions why Tiger would “DISS” Wayne Gretzky and the Hockey League.
Well - let’s face some facts here.
1. People dont really watch hockey here in the US. My boss does, but he’s in the minority.
2. The author is a baffoon trying to start something with his article so that he can get his name out there and possibly start a ’shouting match’ with his wit - his NITWIT that is - and hopefully land himself a career as a broadcaster or become more syndicated for more cash.
More and more when athletes say “I dont read the articles” - I believe them.
Why should they?
Many writers try to make a name for themselves with trashy drivel and get on TV. And there are some on TV who are just dolts - insert the name Keith Olber_ _ _ here. Note, I left out the M - A - N part because he’s no man. Just another Tool looking to get an audience that won’t have him.
Well folks - I just call it as a I see it.
