Sometimes it is Hard to Be a Fan

Sometimes it is tough to be a sports fan. A quick look at the Thanksgiving weekend sports sections and one could read about Stephon Marbury refusing to entering a game and then proclaiming he is the victim by collecting $20 million dollars to do nothing. Flip a page and you can read about how New York Giants wide receiver, Plaxico Burress shot him in the leg and hired a lawyer. Read further and you can get the lowdown on Barry Bonds' reduction of Federal Perjury charges. Yes, following sports isn't how it once was, especially when it was seen through the eyes of a child or teenager. Heck, even an adult has to do a double take when watching Sportscenter and hearing how there are allegations of cheating in college sports and professional sports' championship series. But, even in this age of seeming corruption everywhere the sports fan turns, sports keep getting bigger and bigger.
