I never talked about any other Sport on my Blog,
except for Formula 1 Racing.
Today is different.
Yes racing is a Sport
and the Drivers are Athletes.
and the Drivers are Athletes.
Growing up in the open fields of south-east Wisconsin,
before all the homes were built,
my favorite Sport was baseball.
Unfortunately,
I couldn't hit the little round hardball worth a darn,
but was
"Babe Ruth"
when it came to underhand,
"Babe Ruth"
when it came to underhand,
slow pitch softball.
In my mind at least I was.
Back to baseball and not about me.
Wait,
it's always about me!
I was such an avid fan,
every year I could name every starting player on every team.
Before cable TV,
I would listen to the
Milwaukee Braves,
Milwaukee Braves,
Chicago White Sox,
and
Chicago Cubs
on the radio.
Chicago Cubs
on the radio.
If I was really lucky,
and the heavy rain clouds would hold down the AM signal closer to Earth,
I could here the Detroit Tigers play.
When I started working,
I bought a ticket package to see the
Milwaukee Brewers
home games.

home games.
With that package,
I was able to see the Brewers play the
St. Louis Cardinals
in the World Series.

in the World Series.
Then came the year 1994 and the cancellation of the
World Series.
World Series.
Baseball's Labor Strike.
Millionaires striking against Billionaires.
I've been to two baseball games since.
One time,
because someone gave me a pair of box seats to an Angle's game
and I took my son.
and I took my son.
The other,
my Dad bought a pair of tickets when I went back to visit him one year.
I'll probably,
on my own volition,
ever go to a professional baseball game again.
I started watching a lot of Football after that,
and being from Wisconsin,
I've always been a Packer fan.
When I lived in San Diego County,
I had Season Tickets to the Chargers games.
Will I stay a football fan?
Well,
if you've haven't heard,
Tom Brady is threatening to take the
National Football League
to
Federal Court,
National Football League
to
Federal Court,
for being suspended for four games,
because he was caught cheating in a game.
That game was last year's Super Bowl.
He destroyed his cell phone after the game because he didn't want anyone to see the text messages he sent to his accomplish,
a ball boy.
He had the kid deflate the balls the other team in the
Super Bowl,
were going to use.
Super Bowl,
were going to use.
Now he can't accept his punishment because
"I'm Tom Brady!"
Another spoiled athlete who thinks he is bigger then the game.
If he does take the NFL to court and wins,
I'll probably never watch another game.
Another spoiled Millionaire fighting Billionaires.
Cheating happens in all Sports.
From corking bats in baseball,
to Ayrton Senna's intentional crash into the back of
Alain Prost's Formula 1 car to win the Championship in 1990.
Alain Prost's Formula 1 car to win the Championship in 1990.
Pretty Boy Tom Brady needs to shut up,
take the suspension,
so the news about the NFL is the games being played,
and not about him worrying about his image.
I'm an avid fan of Formula 1 Racing today.
They have there scandals and there cheaters.
But when they get caught,
they don't act like
"Prima Donnas"
Tom Brady,
"Prima Donnas"
Tom Brady,
they pay the fine,
serve the suspension,
then get back to racing.
