My First Post

Welcome to my first blog, and my first post on it. While sitting in my room typing this post with the NFL Network on in the background a theme on the show came to me, they love talking about players and teams who are running around breaking laws, bashing teamates, and the key connecting factor between these teams is that none of them have won championships. It is a sad day that when we turn on our TVs we are not seeing stories about players and coaches helping with charities, we are seeing clowns like Terrel Owens, Chad Johnson errrrrr Chad Ochocinco (a.k.a the man that does not know when he should end a joke), and the entire Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnatti Bengals. Why do we as a nation put these people up into the limelight? These are the players that our nation's youth look at, when really should be looking up to players like Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, or Kurt Warner who are positive role models, and with the exception of Johnson have had post season success. What is even worse is that for some reason the clowns who are getting arrested("Pac-Man" Jones and Chris Henry) their play on the field is being glorified. Before his year-long suspension Jones was an average corner on a losing team, then after he got suspended he was getting compared to Champ Bailey's cover skills, and Devin Hester's return ability. His skills were so over -hyped that the Titans were able rob the Cowboys for a fourth round pick, only to release him after a 12 games, in which he lost his corner back job and averaging less than 10 yards per punt return. Another problem with today's TV coverage is that when players get their act together we do not give them coverage for changing. A perfect example is Randy Moss who we all know for his pitfalls in Minnesota and Oakland, but has stayed in line and become a team player. I do not know why Americans love such dysfunction in their NFL,but all I know is I hope we can get back to analysis, and as far as possible from the gossip that networks are using to appeal to the drama junkies.
