This article was going to be what they in the business call an “editorial.” But, an editorial usually involves taking a stance on a controversial or divisive issue and making a case as to why your opinion is right and the other side is wrong. The editorial idea has been put on hold because this particular argument is just too easy. We’re talking Shaq versus Ozzy in a game of one-on-one easy. There’s no sense in debating the newest football realignment. All you need to know is that the top two teams in each division – at least in terms of records – will not play with one of the 75 championships on the line. Booooooo! Next subject.
If you thought the AHL All-Star game got area sports fans fired up, wait until you head over to Clark U in the next couple weeks. Simply the best athletic event the area can call its own is the Clark Tourney and it’s here. We’ll offer some thoughts on it later in the week, but there has already been a major bit of news to report. Should West Boylston advance to the championship game in its bracket, the MIAA has already decided to move the game from the Kneller Athletic Center to the University of Maine.
Anyone who watched ESPN Wednesday knew it was national signing day for the nation’s top high school football prospects. It was great for the kids who received their choice of four free years of education or two free years to steal things, treat classmates like garbage and smoke weed before heading to the NFL, but everything else about it was gross. Having signees announce their choice of football factory live on ESPN is just going a little overboard. In fact, the only circus we’d like to see live on ESPN is when Stu Scott and Jim Rome get attacked and eaten by pterodactyls. (Terra dak tulz).
There’s plenty more to complain about and basketball to discuss, so check back often and often.
