Well the Red Sox have been without Manny Ramirez for 5 days and it seems like Red Sox Nation has survived. Although he provided great protection for David Ortiz in the line-up he had become the Brett Favre of baseball. Doing whatever he wants on his timeline and not the organizations. What does it mean to be a team player anymore? The New England Patriots have shown that if you want to win you have to be willing to sacrifice individual accolades for team success.
Brett Favre has turned ESPN into CNN looking for a lost white girl in the Caribbean. It is the only think they are talking about and the Olympics are in 3 days. He keeps saying he doesn't want to be a distraction, but he is a huge one. I don't think he really wants to play for the Packers anymore and is probably getting his way. Another Star Player becoming bigger than his team and the game. I love sports and cannot imagine my life without them, but these guys are ruining it for everyone. I hope a new era of sports will come in when athletes and sports teams can be role models for the children of the world.
