One of our 3 local pro sports franchises is disintegrating before our very eyes. Maybe you could focus a little attention on the moves that need to be made NOW, instead of post-it note videos and stories about cheating QBs that Clevelanders could care less about. Just sayin'.
Wrong, Jason. The Mcnair death has been all over like the plague. For once, could we as a country stop idolizing these sports "heros" to the point where we ignore their failings as human beings? The man was a slug. He took up with a NINETEEN year old girl. yes, girl. Whether or not he'd found another honey, the fact that a 36 year old man would give himself to a 19 year old girl – ignoring the fact he has FOUR FRICKING KIDS and a wife – and not expect something bad to come of it is unthinkable. Of course, we have 50 and 60 year old men who think it's way cool to have 19 year old playthings, so how bad could it be. This bad. This is what the jerk deserved, not memorials as to how great a man he was. He was not a great man. He was close to a pedofile.
What you think LeBron James does on road trips, attend church? Choir practice? Serve soup to the indigent? Hell, no. He's plowing the field like a crazed farmer at a Topeka strip club.
And McNair was close to a child molester? Please. On what planet? You'd think the girl was 13 and his cousin. Newsflash: It was Steve McNair who got shot, not Jerry Lee Lewis.
I found this line to be a fair representation of today's pro athlete:
One Pro Bowl player said early in the week “this is why we should all carry guns” before the cause of McNair’s death was revealed.
After learning the truth about the situation, I doubt he revised his statement to be "this is why we should all keep our pants on outside our own house."
