Just Thinking...

I know this is a shock, but I was just thinking...about some stuff that I wanted to get off my chest. Nothing important really, just the little things that bother me about the sporting world. Yes, this bothers me, don't know why but it does. What's wrong with the world of sports you ask, well everything about it is unfair. Think about it, the Jazz have the best record in the NBA and they get very little attention, except here in Utah, pardon the favortism. They have beat some good teams. Minus the ugly loss to Kobe and the Lakers, they have had a pretty good season. Where's the love. It's because they are from Utah. Oh well, people don't know what they are missing.

The other thing in the world of sports that is really stupid that people are whining about is the idea of a Ohio State/Florida match up in the National Title game instead of Ohio State/Michigan. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people complain about stuff they have no control over. I understand making your voice heard, but make it heard and stop complaining. If your voice isn't going to change things, is it really helping to make your voice heard. I don't know, I'm a pretty passive person and really don't care I guess. I don't know. Anyway, back to the BCS and what not. It, the BCS, is a broken piece and should definitely be looked into, but until the powers that be find it in themselves to get off their duffs and do something to fix it, it's the best we have. I think it's funny that the people are complaining that the BCS is dumb because it didn't pick Michigan over Florida in the #2 spot so we could see a rematch of Michigan and Ohio State. They argue that if we had a playoff system it would match the best teams. I'd like to point out that not always are the top seeds the ones that win the playoff. Look at the unlikely winners of the Colts/Titans game were last Sunday (10/3 Colts lost on a final second 60 yard field goal by the Titans). This isn't a perfect sports society and never will be, period. Stop complaining and let's all enjoy some good sports.

If you read this and are saying to yourself, "Why did I just waste my time?". Here's the answer, I'm complaining about something I can't fix, my voice has been heard, and now I'm done. Have a great day.
