Alright, I am not a sports fan. I will admit that I was a Yankee fan in the Billy Martin days. Just because I loved Billy Martin. My Buddy Bill made me watch the patriots, because he held nothing back.

My issue with professional sports is the amount they are all paid. And, I don't care about the Yankees winning, the Red Sox winning (HA HA HA HA), or anything.

After watching those tireless, dedicated firefighters, police and rescue workers, you have to wonder why they are so low paid, but people passing around, hitting or kicking balls are paid millions. Get a basket, get a million. Save a life, have the town complain that the tax dollars are just not there.

So, color me "bitchy", but I don't want anything to do with professional sports, who wins, who loses, etc.

And, as for all the ones that left, it, again is all about money. Why stay true to your state, when you can make a few more million bouncing a ball around in another one. Ridiculous.

Okay, my rant for the day.
