The New Non Story

Just a quick post as i am working on a fantasy baseball column for early next week.

But first i must address something.

When did ESPN become the National Enquirer or US Weekly. All the programs this morning touched on the photo and video of Tom Brady wearing a Yankees cap. How is that a story? My points:

1. First and foremost, WHO CARES? The guy was just out in NY with his model girlfriend and enjoying his man purse.

2. Its a cap from another sport. Why shouldn't he be able to root for whatever team he wants that isn't in his sport? Just cause he plays for the Patriots means he cant root for the Yankees, Mets, Rangers, Islanders (the last two are NHL teams), Knicks, Nets or Felons (i am guessing that is the name of the NY major league lacrosse team).

3. Why do all these non-stories seem to come out of the same area, (hint, hint, Boston and New York). You have Schilling's sock, (yeah lets talk about a guys sock for a week instead of covering sports), where will Clemens go (he is a month or so from making a decision, but he is a media hound so i am sure he enjoys it), Dice-K got a paper cut (actually i made that up, just seeing if the media will pick it up)

4. As a Michigan fan i did like Brady even though he played for the media love Patriots, but now i can't support him since he was wearing a Yankee's cap and wearing a man purse...

OK, quick post today, look for my fantasy take on the first month of the season early next week.
