So, his first post on his return concerned all the events he discovered he had "missed" while traveling. A few are listed below:
The Tour de France started and ended without once coming to my attention. That’s good!
The baseball All-Star Game and the idiotic Home-Run Derby happened without my knowing about it. No problem here…
I missed out on the spasm that occurred when the rumor spread that Pete Rose might be reinstated by MLB thereby making him eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame. [Aside: Maybe if Pete Rose admitted to using steroids he would have the support of a bunch of writers who seem to believe that it was baseball’s fault for not catching those guys earlier on and so all their records should carry them into the HoF…]
I went 24 consecutive days without hearing the name “Brett Favre” mentioned a single time. Didn’t miss it even a little bit.
Even the Michael Jackson whoop-dee-doo never made it to the tented camps on or next to the African game parks. Praise the Lord for that.
I think I recall something known as the WNBA but I will have to Google it to refresh my memory.
I missed the furor surrounding “The Erin Andrews Tape”. For the record, if Erin Andrews chose to post a photo or a videotape of hersef getting dressed in a hotel room, she should have the right to do so. However, the voyeurs who schemed to make that tape clandestinely and then to “publish” it are antediluvian pond scum.
I missed Tom Watson – at age 59 and with an artificial hip – almost winning the British Open. Tell me again how you have to be a great athlete to play golf…
I missed the shock and awe that seemed to overcome most of the sports scribes as Tiger Woods disappeared from the British Open field.
