Manny Ramirez and the Boston Red Sox are at odds again. It seems like this happened this time of year for the past 3 or 4 years. I'm not sure what Manny gets paid but did hear he has an option next year for $20 million. $20 million. That's a lot of zeros at the end of a number. I guess it just goes to show that money can't buy happiness.
The Cowboys are back on the practice field so now we'll get to hear about Tony and Jessica, TO and Pacman non-stop.
Some ESPN radio guys were debating whether the Josh Hamilton story was worthy of all the news it got. One guy said it's not a big story because Hamilton made the decision to use drugs and just did the right thing to stop using them. He compared it to a cancer victim who didn't elect to get cancer and has battled back and that being a true feel-good story. Having seen the Hamilton story play out in Texas and having read some stories about him a few years ago, I can't imagine someone saying his story isn't a great one. Should he be considered a hero? Maybe not in the classical sense but I think he is a hero to people who have had to battle the demons of drugs. I appreciate the fact that he is so open about his faith and God's place in his personal battle to overcome drug addiction and hope he continues to thrive and be a spokesman for good.
It's another HOT, busy week. Stay cool.
