Have I mentioned American McCarver is back?
Well, it is. And I have a piece up this morning.
I wrote something about baseball for American McCarver.
Of course I wrote something about last night’s Islander fiasco. And I know I’m going to get a little flack for it from the Islander die-hards (mostly the ones with their heads in the sand), and it’s a little ranty, but there it is.
There’s this culture surrounding sports where people are put on pedestals, held up as untouchable, infallible. Even when they do wrong (see, Kobe Bryant, Michael Vick, Ben Roethlisberger) excuses are made, forgiveness is quickly bestowed and alleged victims are forgotten. People want what is best for their team, at all costs. They want victories. It doesn’t matter if the person helping them get those Ws is an upstanding citizen or a bottom feeder of society, a win is a win is a win. Bad things are easily forgiven if it means a championship banner.
I wrote a little something about Joe Paterno over at American McCarver.
Jason Snell nails it over at American McCarver. Bonus points for name dropping my favorite Superman villain.
My official Welcome to the NHL Season post, at American McCarver.
I got up at 5am and immediately tried to capture the feelings from last night. I feel like I have a baseball hangover. In a good way.
At American McCarver, I write about how this is an amazing time of year to be a sports fan.
Baseball stuff.
