The high salaries; outrageous what is paid to them compared to a teacher's salary or a policeman/fireman.<br /><br />2. Fans go all crazy at sporting events, wear their team colors, paint their faces or their whole bodies, even get tattoos (popular thing being done here when the Chargers were in the play offs). But those same fans in church will not sing praise/worship songs or if they do sing, it will be in low tones and forget them ever raising their hands in praise. <br /><br />But like I said above, I like a good game. So I hope tomorrow's is a good game.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-88385053025437949802014-02-01T22:34:30.275-05:002014-02-01T22:34:30.275-05:00Athletes are highly overrated. period.

When we went to the hospital cafeteria to eat supper the chef told us everything was free as they were celebrating Super Bowl. We had hamburgers, hotdogs, potato salad, chips, soda and water.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-47525096195355157652014-02-01T18:35:13.776-05:002014-02-01T18:35:13.776-05:00«Louis» agrees with you, Jack!

One hundred years ago, they began infiltrating and taking over our education system, knowing it was the path for indoctrinating our young - and we Conservatives have sat on our hands and let them get away with it.<br /><br />*<br /><br />That Buick show car influenced a lot of '50s Buick production cars - the '54 Skylark, all of the '55 Buicks and the '57 Buicks owe some of their styling cues to this car.Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-71048466949791167512014-02-01T18:34:46.595-05:002014-02-01T18:34:46.595-05:00No Sports fan here, Lol.

Then they get in a huddle and discuss what happened.<br /><br />I didn't realize they made that<br />much money. Everybody is sports<br />minded and important in today's<br />world..Well I was the pitcher on<br />the softball team in the eight<br />grade. That was the end of my<br />career.

But the grandkids are growing up some and I'll be watching them play now. Course most of their games are pretty far away but I did get to see 2 play basketball and 1 play in a hockey game...We also have a skater in the family and she won first place in her classification. Only got to see pictures of that. You are right the salaries paid seem outrageous. Our national sports are truly big business...not for fun. We need to get priorities straight for sure.<br />I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.com
