I realize bad things happen in sports sometimes. Sports figures aren't perfect. You're going to get the occassional baseball steroid abuser, Tour de France blood doper, NBA game fixer, and NFL puppy murderer. But all at once?! I'm waiting for Roger Federer to be accused of fathering an alien baby from Omega galaxy.

Is it me, or are we becoming desensitized to the horrible things that are going on in sports? Now when a player gets arrested for drug possession, it's like, "Big deal. Call me when he runs over his Nana." Mike Vick and Tim Donaghy have truly raised the bar when it comes to messing up their sports. I really don't know what to expect next. Maybe Kobe Bryant will strangle a kitty cat, or Tiger Woods will get arrested for bashing Jack Nicklaus with a 7-iron. Bring it on! I'm ready for the sports world to continue to sprial into the abyss.

Now, if there turns out to be some kind of fantasy football scandal...that I couldn't deal with.
