Today’s View From the Bull Pen
Idiots Among Us
The latest Bozo Award in the world of sports belongs to Sergio Garcia. The tiff between him and Tiger Woods is legendary and has escalated in recent weeks. But the recent statement by Garcia about Tiger Woods coming over to his house for dinner with fried chicken on the menu is beyond belief. It proves once again that even though golf is a cerebral game, stupid people somehow manage to find a way on the course regardless. True Idiocy reigns on the PGA tour.Like MLK, I too have a dream. That someday we will no longer see the color of a man's skin, or judge them by their sexuality, but instead, with compassion and strength, seek to live as equals in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
Until that day, I will rage on in cartoons like this one about the utter stupidity of some people who, unfortunately, inhabit the same planet I do.As always, your readership and your comments help to make the world go round, so please continue to add them. I will try to do a better job of responding.
There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.

Twitter Goodies
Good Morning from Omaha,
Goodell works for the owners, the league and the players. probably in that order but it can change depending on the situation.
I tend to think that an impartial arbiter could/ should have been brought in to hear the appeals. goodell acted as judge jury and executioner in this matter. To have to go back to the person who sentenced you to the sidelines for a season doesn’t appear to be justice.
Vilma has a point. Goodell as spent 3 months ruining his “reputation” that he spent 8 years developing. The argument over semantics seems to have a ring to it but then again I have not seen the evidence, only through hearsay.
I am not going to say what is alleged to have happened is right, but in the interest of “fairplay” someone other than the commish should have heard the appeal, seen the evidence and the either affirmed the punishment or mediated the end result.
asking goodell to change his judgement is akin to asking me to stop being ugly. that die has been cast and it won’t be changed.
Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.
Gene
What Gene said. Oh, and Gene…you’re not ugly, and you are definitely not in the same class as Goodell. You’re a much better person. Just sayin’!
Something that Terry Bradshaw said in a recent appearance on the Tonight Show, caught my ear. He said that he didn’t think we would see professional, full-body contact sports like football and hockey (as they are played now), in ten years time. As a result of the league’s focus on concussions (purely a PR move, according to Bradshaw) and the deaths and retirements of players – we’ll see fewer parents allowing their kids to play Pop Warner youth, high school, and collegiate football.
Goodell was wrong to have heard the appeals on his own. I don’t know whom could have filled that role, though. There isn’t anything you or I can do about it now. It is an unfortunate situation (and outcome) for players, owners, and for fans. It will be interesting to see if Bradshaw’s predictions come true.
