Todays NFL........Or Yesyerdays?......Or Just the NFL?..............

Todays NFL is full of miscreants and derelicts. But as you can see according to this list, so were, and are yesterdays. From alleged allegations to actual charges and convictions, this list is like the first day in law school: Intro to idiots and the entitlement syndrome 101. I’ve been pretty rough on BB for his off field B.S. (I mean alleged BS). However as a supporter of the Steelers I will root for BB upon his return. And I’m sure most will. (Even Chris at NicePickCowher). I guess this Steelers haze / veil I wear puts my team in a softer light than I perceive others around the league. I always held the Steelers with such high regard. One could compare it to the reverence faithful worshipers show to their deities. Heinz field being my Temple. I’ve now become a little cynical. Not Big Bens fault. It’s the daily barrage of idiocy. Whether it be MLB for a guy not "hustling" to the NFL and a positive test for HCG. Sh!% even the PGA got involved. Remember Daley? The pro athlete and the teams in particular exemplify the human condition. In my naivete I hoped, beyond hope, that they were better than the masses I live among. It just so happens that they are the same as those that live in my community. And I should treat them likewise.

Dude on my block gets accused of sexual assault twice, I’m sorry, no more BBQ invites. (Yeah, even accused, not convicted) The dude with the drug conviction? Same thing. DUI? I’m takin’ your keys. Assault on you girl? No invite and I will never respect you again. (I may even get a little physical with you myself). Bet you're a$$ the child abuse arrest would have the HOA figuring out a way to get you out. (And your safety during a nice evening walk may be a thing of the past.) Possession of pot? Your new nickname is Ricky. Attempting to bring an undeclared gun on a plane? Al. (for Al Queda).

Voices on various sites say "What if that were your son or daughter? How would you react?" Well they aren’t my children and IMO don’t deserve the same consideration my children would. (BTW I have both, Sons and a Daughter). So with that in mind. I will continue to support the Steelers and all of their dysfunction. I just may not be as optimistic and rosy eyed as I once was. It only took 40 years to get to this point. (Not a bad run) The human condition is just that, Human. And I, my friends have succumed to being one. Faults and all. GO STEELERS! Screw the superstar.
