I hope Leveon Bell never plays again
The article today at CBS Sportsline is "Leveon Bell has his eyes on the Colts," meaning next year he'd like them to sign him.
But I don't think any team should sign Bell - he quit on the Steelers. It's one thing to say, "I'm going to take the year off because I can't feed my family on $40 million a year." (okay, he didn't say that, Latrell Sprewell did, but same difference) and it's another to say...."Well, I might come back next week. I'm looking to come back the week after next."
How could any team, or teammate, trust this jerk to not quit on them just as he did the Steelers?
He should never get "guaranteed" money again.
If he doesn't play, he doesn't deserve to get paid.

Request was denied so Leveon Bell stayed away
Just read an article about the Leveon Bell debacle.
The guy screws over his team and his teammates.
Please God no team hires him next year.
https://247sports.com/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/Article/LeVeon-Bell-transition-tag-holdout--125010665/
Apparently he didn't want the "transition tag" placed on him, and if the Steelers would do that for him, he'd "consider" reporting to the team.
What an idiot.
What kind of union does the NFL have that a guy can give his team the shaft for a whole year, and still be able to be employed? He should be banned for life.

Sports "reporting"
I'll be spending a lot of time venting about what's going on in the sports world.
I used to be able to vent my frustrations on the message boards of the various sports and news related sites, but more and more of them are deleting their message boards, doubtless because of all the racist comments (on sports boards) and childish fighting on news sites
And it's so frustrating because I'd like to tell certain authors on certain sports site - well, specifically CBS Sports, that I really hate the current trend of injecting personalities into their "reporting."
None of them report the facts anymore, they've got to be "clever" or "cute..'
So expect to see more venting about sports gossiping in the future.
One thing..it's a joy not to see Lonzo Ball or his father garnering the headlines every single day. Now that LeBron is in LA, the gossipers have made it all about him.
Meantime, I see that Lonzo, while he's definitely been working out over the summer, has also decided to follow the crowd and mar his skin with tattoos. Is there any athlete in the NBA these days who doesn't have a tattoo?

WWE and Saudi Arabia
I don't follow professional "wrestling". I see snippets of it on occasion and cringe every time.
Yes - let's show impressionable youth that it's "cool" to attack your opponent while he's down, beat up authority figures (referees) and prance around as if you're god's gift.
So I didn't know that the WWE has just penetrated Saudi Arabia and will be holding some contests there.
Well...gosh.
That's just what Saudi Arabia needs - decadent American "entertainment' that teaches that there's no need for good sportsmanship, prancing and preening and arrogance are loved, and of course that old thing about not kicking an opponent when he's down.
The impact of pro wrestling can be seen in school yards every day where bullies beat up their helpless opponents, showing them no mercy - and I'm talking girls as well as boys here.
The saddest thing is that WWE is soooo popular. And it will probably be popular in Saudi Arabia, too.
Wonder how soon it will be before young male Saudis start body-slamming any woman they see who has dared to venture outside her house without a male relative beside her...

Red Sox and Curt Schilling
Should athletes - even retired athletes - have Facebook accounts?
I say no. They only get themselves in trouble.
Childish arguments that should be handled man to man, but they put it all out there so that the gossip columnists on CBS Sportsline can have something to write about.
The latest thing is Curt Schilling not being asked to throw a ceremonial pitch before the 2nd game of the 2018 World Serious with the Dodgers.
First off, of course - what were the Red Sox thinking? Are they so afraid of the man's politics that they'll cave to pressure groups and not honor him?
Schilling is upset with the Red Sox for not inviting him to throw out a first pitch. Talk about it in an interview or something, not on Facebook! Confront them, don't whine!

Why Make a Pity Party Out of It
The parents of a 6-year-old kid named Terry Mazzinni invited his entire kindergarten class to a birthday party for him at a pizza place.
No one showed up.
The mom objectified poor Teddy, taking a photo of him sitting among all those empty plates.
And she sent that photo to news outlets in Tucson, who publicized the little kid's humiliation.
Whose fault is it that no one came to his party?
You invited 35 people, you don't personally call to make someone will show up?
I find it difficult to believe that his classmates wouldn't have told the kid they wouldn't come, unless he's a bully or something.
It's bad enough no one came to his party - I blame mom for not cancelling the party when she knew no one could come, and for making her son an object of pity on the news.
Because you just know he's going to be teased mercilesslly about it by his classmates.
I blame the mom.
As for the rest, 32 classmates didn't show up? Something suspicious there.
