Sports Corner
Rasheed Wallace, after his Detroit Pistons lost to the Miami Heat in game 5 of a best of 7 series, said the following:
“It’s real damn tough. Y’all had to see that out there. It’s so blatant. I’m going to see out of y’all who really knows basketball by reading your columns and sports stories.”
“Oh, we’re going to win Game 6. They’re going to send some good people out there, and there’s going to be a Game 7. (Because) there’s no other series. If y’all can’t see that you’re crazy.”
Actually, you’re never terribly sure if that’s not the case with professional sports — that it’s, to some degree, akin to WWF wrestling… ie, when in a position to do so, subtley staged and manipulated.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. wins the big race, coming from behind, considered a “tribute” to his father.
Remember Phil Luckett? The official who botched a coin-flip call? And, that same season botched a touchdown that benefitted the New York Jets… the largest market in the nation.
You see such an attitude in national politics, ala:
Kerry lost because, as a Skull and Bones liberal, that’s his mission in
life. This was the most important election of his life, and he is proud to
plan to run again. And do his thing again. Lose.
Pave the way for Hillary Clinton, I suppose…
