Orson feels my pain as he's writing about Stoops flying with the Blue Angels. Once you start blogging that and giving as much attention to womens athletics as I have lately, you KNOW it's the silly season.
And while I'm at it. Let me just make a public service announcement to all recruits and athletes who are involved in any kind of absurd, ridiculous or negative story. On behalf of all bloggers I beg you to give us a day or two before you defuse the situation.
For instance....The TebowGate / CJ Spiller story. As most of you know, Clemson tried to turn UF in for violations involving Tebow "allegedly" visiting Spiller illegally in an attempt to sway him the night before signing day. The story was bizarre enough and I'm bored enough this offseason that I wrote this really off beat story comparing Tebow to Dinero's character in Taxi Driver driving Spiller around all night. The analogy extended to Spiller as the Jodie Foster hooker character, and Tommy Bowden as the Pimp.
It was dark, facinating, sorta funny and about 80% finished when I read that Spiller has defused the entire situation. Well that just dropped a big old turd in my punch bowl.
These kids need to be more considerate. Give us blogger some time to put together nice parody pieces and let ideas develop. These bang-bang story-no story pieces give us blogger very little time to work.
All I'm saying is...What about me? What about my needs? Bloggers need more student-athletes like Ian "Tater Salad" Smith, and less like CJ Spiller.
