The League
I’m their biggest threat,
unaffected by effects of deceptive hype,
bored by hyperbole’s clichés,
mine is no mere apathetic pity.
Their heroes hawk pizza, encourage foolishness,
and elect incoherent babblers as leaders,
roles for which mad dogs are better suited.
Look both ways in the entertainment world.
Mind the gaps in celebrity mentality, or the absence thereof.
Here here to that 🙂

I did see some of that between doing more worth-while things. 🙂 Eagles vs Chiefs in the SB. The Philly branch of my fam is happy.

How much is enough for them? More, more, more. If professional sports were gone tomorrow, I would not miss them.

I like to paraphrase a quote from John Updike, “Money is like sex, only too much is enough.” 🙂
