Daily Dose: May 5 - What are we talking about here?

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

..Ozzie swearing?
....a drunken, washed up NFL running back (who you know is in trouble when you Google Image search him and two mugs of OJ Simpson come up)...
...inflatable dolls used in Animal House fashion?
...a horse no one cares about evoking the memory of a supposedly "famous" horse that is one of 133 winners in the Derby's history?

C'mon. No one really cares. Look, if the Sox were +10 games in the standings, we'd invite Ozzie over to serenade our grandmothers.
If Cedric Benson were an All Pro, 1,600 yard rusher, we'd chalk it up to a guy having a little too much fun during the offseason
And if the Sox lineup somehow comes out of this funk to hit .300 the rest of the season, how many inflatable dolls dressed in Swisher jerseys will we see at The Cell? Exactly.

(And don't get me started on the "outrage" over this horse, or horseracing, or whatver...no one cares No one. If I would've won 4 grand on that horse finishing second, or I lost 4 grand because it didn't win- I still wouldn't care less what the hell happened to it.)

This isn't sports people. None of it. So who gives a crap?
