Its Time for New Era

Hello Sports Fans,

Being that this is my first post I would like to explain why I created this blog.

First and foremost, I love discussing sports especially, but not limited to, the NFL. If your like me, talking with a true sports fan is a joy. No matter who your favorite team is, what your favorite sport is, you can always spark up great conversation and debate with sports. On the other hand, talking with someone who pretends to be a sports fan can be a nightmare. We all have those people as neighbors or co-workers. They think that because they know the starting QB's name, they are a true fan. Well sorry, but your not. A true sports fan can rattle of the second and third teamers, the bench players, or the utility players for your franchise. A true sports fan can at least come close to "Stumping the Schwab". Oh, and if you don't know who the Schwab is... that's my point.

Secondly, is anyone else sick of most sports talk radio including ESPN and all their shows on T.V. It's all the same. These guys all act as if they've been there and done that, when most of them have never stepped to the plate, or on the ice. I'm not saying it's all bad and there are a lot of exceptions but for the most part, it's shock jock radio but it's sports. Just listen to Colin Cowherd if you want a prime example. The guy obviously knows very little about sports yet he spews out all of his expertise (which is most of the time the obvious point of view) just for shock value. It's like suddenly, negativity sells. It's like, "Lets see how many people I can piss off with my statements." Count how many times Cowherd says "I" and "me" during one show, or even one segment. I understand everyone has their own point of view, but as a journalist, you are not supposed to show favorites. State the facts and discuss them. That's why the best shows are the ones that have two or more hosts. They discuss, they don't state.

So, with that said, I'm sure people will disagree with a lot of my opinions. So feel free to comment but keep it clean. Just because this is a blog doesn't mean there can be no two-way conversation. Aight, ring the bell and lets go!
