To borrow nomenclature from Dan Patrick, yesterday the mothership that is espn.com is helping their own cause in trying to get me to stop watching it. Yes, watching the website. I understand the convergence of new media in the digital age, but when I simply want to see a box score or read one article, I automatically get bombarded with highlight clips, analyst segments, commercials, etc. Just stop. One can barely navigate the website as it is. I digress. My point here is yesterday's cover story for most of the day was "How would LeBron do as a football player?" Are you serious Mr. Bodenheimer? You let this garbage permiate one of the most viewed website? Unreal.
El Guerito took a hiatus from ...doing work! due to circumstances beyond his control, but has several posts in the queue.
- p.s. For the record, I highly respect George Bodenheimer, espn's president. Started working in the mailroom and has done many, many good things.

Why are people so attracted to such retarded unprovable questions? I'm always one for discussion even if there is no 1 certain answer, but theres always a limit. I don't care to compare Bo Jackson and Jack Johnson (the boxer). I dont care how Red Grange would do in today's NFL. These guys were legends in their own sport in their own time, let's leave it that way. It's almost like a another form of the guy vs. guy wiener contest. Somehow by making these reaching comparisons it makes the guy seem smarter and more knowledgeable about sports, only it doesn't. Thats cool, you just found an excuse to spew your "knowledge", you must be so cool.
