Days 1-4

So life (and my natural disposition) has caused me to fall a little behind in my pledge to spread good cheer about athletes who usually induce vile-spewing diatribes. A pledge is a pledge, however, and so I plan to do a little catchup before we jump into Cowboy-Eagle blogging.

Day 1: Almost retired slugger and all-time MLB home run champ* Barry Bonds may be a steroid cheat and a scourge on baseball, but nobody can say the man does not have backbone. He has a way of standing up for himself and portraying himself as a wronged bystander even when everybody has him in crosshairs (and rightly so).

Day 2: Roy Willy is not a bad guy. He actually, in terms of charity works, ranks in good-guy territory. Technically, though, nobody accused the Cowboys safety of being a bad guy. What I said was he's just not that good of a safety.

Day 3: Something nice to say about Eagles fans, something nice to say about Eagles fans, uh, this may be a longer and harder 30 days than I originally envisioned. What I have determined, after almost 36 hours in Philly, is: Eagles fans do passion well.

Day 4: Many have accused Alex Rodriguez of being a selfish fraud. I like to call him AFraud, myself. Say this for Mr. Former Mariner-Ranger-Yankee, nobody is better at greedy than ARod.
