To much
crap going on in the sports world! Just look at the headlines.
ASTROS
CHEAT FOR WORLD SERIES!
PRO
FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME SNUBS COWBOY WIDE RECIEVER!
Really????
Lets start
with the Astros!
Here’s a
major league baseball team that was caught—“Cheating” during the entire 2017
season, and that led them to a World Series Championship, against the LA
Dodgers!
Now the
Commissioner of the league, had come out and stated that the Manager and the
General Manger of the team will be suspended for one year, and then the team
came down and FIRED them both! OK—justice is handled within the team!
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s more! The Dodgers get nothing out of it, they were cheated out of a
championship, because the Astros used technology to beat a team, well that
doesn’t mean that other teams haven’t done it or thought about doing it, or
even did it without getting caught!
Could it
be sour grapes that the Dodgers are complaining about not getting anything from
the league, for example, the trophy remains inside the offices of the Astros,
and the team gets to keep their rings, and the fans are still wearing their
championship gear that they bought, and celebrated their team’s victory!
But at
what cost?
Integrity!
That’s the cost!
The team
now will now be a villain in every venue they step into, they will not be
welcomed with cheers, they will be heckled to no end! They will no longer be
revered as the champions of a city that so deserved it, perceived as they were
during their Championship run—Lets face it—Hurricane Harvey ripped through the
Houston area and caused the team to play some games away from their home field,
remember when the Rangers and the Astros had to play two games in Tampa? They
wouldn’t compromise and play those games in Arlington against the Rangers, and
chose to have MLB make arrangements to play in Tampa!
Their
battle cry was “HOUSTON STRONG!”
It rang
through their city, their community, their state!
NOW, we
get into the nitty gritty of what this whole mess brings,
The
City—Houston, their first championship out side of basketball, and the old AFL,
they hoisted a trophy that wasn’t NBA, they brought the world championship for
the first time in the history of baseball, to the state of Texas!
The Astros
have appeared in three fall classics, they are the only Major League team to
appear as both National League AND American League Champions.
They were
brought to the American League to help balance out Major League Baseballs
divisions, and to help with the Western Division, so there will be a third of
their games in the central time zone for both them and their I-45 rival, Texas
Rangers.
They also
found out that the Western Division was a bit easier to control, as they have
seen, even with the LA Angels, the Oakland A’s, the Seattle Mariners and of
course the Texas Rangers, they were weak, all of them were.
Even
though the Texas Rangers have won the West several times and of course were Two
Time American League Champions in 2010 and 2011.
Cheating
will not get you anywhere, and they will not have honor or integrity in this
league. They have to at least find both a new manager and GM, for the 2020
season, and the lose some draft picks and international picks!
It’s a
horrible mess, and with that mess brings up the conversation about now Major
League Baseball might HAVE to reinstate the pariah, Pete Rose! How’s that going to work out for you now
Commish?
The other
rant is the Pro Football Hall of Fame!
REALLY?????
YOU DON’T VOTE IN THE ORIGINAL 88 OF THE DALLAS COWBOYS??
Drew
Pearson was not elected into the 100 Anniversary of the NFL, NOT THE HALL OF
FAME by the way—that was put together in 1963.
But none
the less, the Hall, snub one of the best players in the NFL in the 1970s, they
had him FIRST TEAM offense for ALL DECADE team of that era, Pearson, went to
SEVEN NFC Championships was a Pro Bowler, and ALL PRO
He had the
credentials, and yes I know that another Cowboy was voted in, well TWO others
actually were voted in--- Jimmy Johnson, and Cliff Harris, but Drew didn’t and
neither did Clint Murchinson the original owner and founder of the Dallas
Cowboys!
But lets
focus on Drew Pearson, and for whatever reason, he was not voted into the Hall!
A man that
has a Super Bowl Ring, and was clutch in the moments that counted, was on a
team that every one that was a First Team All Decade has been voted in,
including Roger Staubach, Tony Dorsett, Randy White, Rayfield Wright, Tom
Landry, Tex Schramm, and most recently Gil Brandt!
Those
names are impressive but then again so is #88 Drew Pearson!
The other
88, Michael Irvin is in, and the 90 Cowboys are represented, but Pearson is the
missing name from the Hall!
Now what
the current thinking is,, that Pearson will go in NEXT year, and let him have
the stage all to himself, and that would be nice but he already stated , that
they will have to come and find him and hit him over the head with a baseball
bat to get his attention! He was heart broken when his name was not announced,
and it was a shock to his system, and for that matter, it struck all Cowboy
fans the same way.
Now the
long 12 month wait is back on for Drew Pearson has it has for over 30 years,
almost 40 years, before his day comes!
Once again
the Hall Got It WRONG!
Its Just a
thought!
