Too Light-Too Heavy sports coverage

Bless me Tim Tebow for I have sinned. Huh? It must be all that extensive coverage of everyone's favorite Christian quarterback on ESPN. For the record, he is the second-favorite Christian QB on the D-train Daily. You just HAVE to love Colt McCoy. He looks as if a startling moment would cause him to blurt, "Golly gee willikers!"

Back to Tebow; his participation in an “anti-abortion” add that will run on Super Bowl Sunday in which his mother says tells the story of how giving birth to the divine QB could have threatened her life but she had him anyway. And in that is the true message behind this ad… that women consider that this 18+ year investment will one day pay for itself. “Before you take that trip to the clinic ladies remember those two important words…SIGNING BONUS!

That whole controversy started a debate amongst the staff of the D-train Daily, and it was pleasing to find out that everyone is neither pro-life or pro-choice, but rather pro-tection.

It is hard to tell if ESPN is selling Tebow or his faults. Do they want to make him into a great success story or see him fail? Make no mistake, their coverage is leaning to a particular point of view; it always does. But in defense of the Eternal Speculation and Pontification Network, you can do it your way when you are hands down number one.

To take a brief respite from ESPN's heavy-handed coverage the TV in the break room of the D-train gets switched to Comcast Sports Net. However viewing the two is the sports viewing equivalent to Bud Light's "Too Light, Too Heavy" ads. Although, it should be said, that the livelier version of Dei Lynam makes for much easier viewing. It used to seem as though doing her job was painful for her. Now it looks as though she gets an adrenaline shot to the heart right before air-time. Seriously, however it got done... thank you.

In now a bit of Pro Bowl news; and unlike the game this is actually interesting. According to FOXSports.com, six Colts players will be at the all-star game... until halftime. The players are excused from the Pro-Bowl due to their team playing in the game that people will be watching the following weekend, however if they want their game check from the Pro-Bowl they need to attend the game. The players on the winning teams will get $45,000, while the losers will get $22,500.

The Players will be flying from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale for the menial game. Really flying from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale?! They could've driven there in the time that it will take to get through security and get that plane in the air.

At any rate that is rule-wrangling that a tax lawyer would appreciate.

May the Awesomeness be with You.
