This year has had twist, turns, ups, downs, and all of the above. Starting with the Ohio St. debacle in BCS National Championship game against the Florida Gators, to a historic run at a national title of thier own the womens basketball team at Rutgers University, unfortunately they came up short and some ill willed comments from Don Imos was was like pouring alcohol on a open wound. Next up, Marion Jones and the brilliant, unprecedented career she put together was all for not after she admitted to using performance enhancing drugs. On to the Boston Red Sox, who was all but dead in the ALCS but the magic of Josh Beckett spirited them to the World Series.
Also, Billy Donovan the handsome young coach who has taken Florida to 3 national title games and winning back to back titles, had a cgange of heart about going to the NBA (Orlando Magic). Plus, well Bobby Petrino, who negelced Atlanta and then immediatly embraced Arkansas, what a shame!! Although Michigan was a game away from going to the Rose Bowl who can, or will forget the season opener- the lost to Appalachian St. in the " Big House". Applalachian st. is playing tonight for a third consecutive national title.
Now the infamous Mitchell Report, which has shaken MLB to the core or to the vein (steroids). This year has 17 days left and and at the conclusion of the year will be rhe anniverasay of the shooting death of Broncos cornerback Darrant Williams. With a year that has encompassed joy, happiness, victory, defeat, and sorrow with the death of the late great Sean Taylor. Competing in sports requires tremedous talent, opportunity, and strict discipline or work ethic, not steroids. These three components are vital to everyone even if youre not competing in sports, life is just as important.
