John Daly - waste of space

He revealed today he'd been suspended from the PGA tour for 6 months. (Heck, the PGA is as bad as the NFL. Fire this guy and don't let him step on a golf course again!)

"Is it fair that I got suspended?" he said. "It's not fair in reality, but it's probably fair in perception."

How can it not be fair in reality, you drunken moron?

Here's the thing. Drugs aren't a disease. Alcohol isn't a disease. It's something that stupid people do to themselves, despite all the evidence of how hurtful it is to them, to their families, etc. etc., and rather than treating these people with kid gloves, just deep-six them in the ocean. Less waste of space, air and food on land, and fish get the food they need.

Bowl Games are Ridiculous

When I was a kid...or even into my teens, there were three or four bowl games. December 31 and January 1 - that's when you got the bowls. The Sugar, the Cotton, the Orange Bowl, the Rose Bowl, and you saw two elite college teams face off. Teams that were undefeated or at most had lost 1 or 2 games.

Nowadays - probably for a decade or so, bowl games have been totally cheapened. There are probably 20 of them now, and mnay of them feature teams that have .500 records! How can a team with a .500 record deserve to go to a Bowl, which is supposed to showcase football excellence???

All these new, upstart "bowls" should be renamed to "Games for Teams that don't deserve to play anymore this season, but have a fanbase that will pay to see one last game."
