Why Colin Cowherd is My Hero

I've been slowly stepping away from big-time Politics - notice with a capital P - at least for the time being, because I feel like I've been harping on it too much. My opinion is just that, and I feel that I bring out stories that aren't getting picked up as much. You see, I haven't touched the I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby verdict, because that's EVERYWHERE. I can give you my opinion, but that wouldn't take too long.

In short:

He's a jackass, a pawn of the lowest order, and, as a jackass, he's deserved everything he's gotten. Perjury, I'm sure, is still a crime, and I trust out legal system, so be it.

There. Done. Okay, now to the fun stuff. I highly recommend the video below, as it comes from one of my heroes on the radio, one of the guys who makes may pathetic, retail-job having life worth living, Colin Cowherd. I'm aware that most of you have never heard of him, but he's a big-time sports talk host, and the Youtube video, which is just an audio clip with pictures to illustrate the point, does him justice.



I'm in a good mood; I hope you're in a good mood. That's why I'm posting such a fun video today. This video illustrates that sports, as almost all subjects in today's world, have become contentious. Sports, I hate to say, no longer represent escapism from the "real world." There's big time money being pumped into this stuff and the NBA and NFL and MLB matter. Even college athletics matter, because millions and millions of people look up to athletes.

Oh, and if you're a Purdue fan, or a Big-10 fan, I'm sorry. Truly, truly, truly sorry. Not for the offensiveness of the video, but just because you're a Big-10 fan.
