We fans keep these guys in business by paying exhorbitant prices for tickets and beer. Some fans worship at the alter of some guy who can dribble or throw a pass or hit a ball.
Whta do we expect when we assign so much worth to so little worth-delusional reality.
because a little part of every sports fan wishes they could be out there doing what those guys would be doing.
Some of those players are worthy of the praise (see Cal Ripken, Joe Montana, Jim Kelly), some are not (see Randy Moss, although he is spectacular talent, Ron Artest, Jose Canseco, etc).....
