-Sanchez

-I could have added an adjective to Mark Sanchez's first name as the header to today's column, but that would have been too easy.

-We have discussed the stupidity of pro athletes before, and seemingly will in perpetuity.
-Here again, is a kid who thinks he is God and had the decision making skills of a 7 year old. Look who his coach is and what example he has set. We have discussed his behavior. Look at the penalties for bad decisions in the NFL. Slap the wrist the first time and then you are done, until you are not, 3 or 4 times. Roger Goodell, you are the man.
-It is pathetic. All that money and no brains. And, I don't buy that argument that she looked older than she was, or that she was consenting. Kids are dumb. They post things about themselves that no one should know or see on things like Facebook with no thought to the long term consequences. The get tattoo's and don't think about how they will look at 40 (which is not to say that all tattoo's are bad, but I wonder how many women will rethink their lower back "stamps" when they are 50 and that skin is sagging, turning an ornate flower into a pile of weeds). Kids are kids. They look before they leap. That is why we expect adults to raise children and set an example not the other way around (then again, we have Congressmen posting their half naked pictures on Craig's List soliciting companionship when they are married, and in office).
-Maybe the world is about to stop spinning on its axis. Maybe the apocalypse is here (after all, given the weather we have had this winter here and "down under", maybe you should be thinking about what boots should replace your snow or rain boots for the "plague of locusts" boots).
-Mark Sanchez is an idiot, but he is not alone. He follows a long line of idiots who, having coasted through what should have been a real academic opportunity fortified by their athletic abilities, got nothing more than a contract which they could barley sign without the help of their agent.
-By the way, Dirty, you have not won anything yet. As Senator Bentsen said (slightly paraphrased and liberalized for context): "I knew Joe Namath, and you, son, are no Joe Namath".
