You know what I find funny is all these guys celebrating a big play like they did something special and half the time they are still losing. I liked the way Barry Sanders did it...run in a TD and just hand the ball to the referee and go on about your business.

Barry Sanders was a rare breed. He was great. He just needed a team that could help.

been that way for a while biggs.

When my grown daughters were in elementary school there was an awards ceremony at the end of every school year. Almost every child got an award for something (almost every means something like 95 out of 100). So at the end of the assembly none of the children who got all those awards felt very special - at least my daughters didn't and i don't imagine any of the others did either. What always bothered me though was how those children who got nothing felt. My guess, pretty rotten.

There was a time when awards weren't handed out willy nilly. When just showing up wasn't worthy of special attention. There was a time when awards meant something. A time when those who earned them felt good about themselves for having earned one and their friends felt good for them.

Now we're in a time when awards mean nothing and those who get them feel no sense of accomplishment. And now instead of a few feeling a genuine sense of accomplishment and many feeling proud for them we have many feeling nothing and a few feeling shame or wondering what is wrong with them that they werent' recognized.

Which way is better? I think the answer is self evident but apparently not to the politically correct crowd. Or maybe it is and how sad would that be?

Amen!!

Barry Sanders was a rare breed. Kind of like Biggsly, He can have a useful intelligent post, a couple of worthless posts, a humorous post, and a post involving bowling all in the same thread. Carry on Biggsly!
