First of all, what the hell is with the balloons? How am I supposed to write about sports with a sky blue backround and balloons? After this maybe I'll go pick some flowers.
Anyways, to the subject at hand. Today feels like a ranting kind of day because I am very upset with some things. The subject I plan on covering has seen just as much coverage as the OJ trial. Onto the title, if you are an internet obsessed freak as I am, you know the term do not feed the trolls. If you don't know, here is a brief description. People who go on message boards, and purposely ask stupid questions or flame people are called trolls. They want attention. Message board moderators tell users "don't feed the trolls" or they win. Trolls want to get their name out there, get a rise out of people. Therefore, if users pay them no attention, the trolls just look like fools and they disappear. See where I'm going with this yet?
That Wide Receiver whose name will not be mentioned is a troll. Every newspaper and sports network is feeding the troll. Guess what people; the Eagles are in last place! The troll is not playing, that is the story plain and simple. So stop! Stop with the timelines, the interviews, and the same damn highlights over and over again! In the past 24 hours, how many times have we all seen some kind of segment on the troll and the Eagles? This writer lost count around 20 times.
So many stories that are being paid no attention… How about the Seattle Seahawks and free agent to be Shaun Alexander’s monster year? Do the media care about the FIRST place New York Giants and their emotional season? Is the monster year Carolina wide receiver Steve Smith is having no big deal? Does he need to talk more and be more controversial? Why isn’t anyone paying attention to the AFC West? The Chargers, Chiefs and Broncos will be involved in a dogfight for the playoffs.
It is clear, none of these stories matter. The media wants to cover the soap opera story of the Eagles and their troll. The coverage doesn’t seem like it is going to slow down anytime soon. Here is some advice, stop feeding the troll ESPN, newspapers, and sports radio shows. Maybe when a final decision on the troll is made, cover it briefly. If the troll goes to a team, cover it briefly. General sports fans have seen enough of this garbage. I’m sure Philadelphia Eagle fans are tired of this story. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THIS ANYMORE! At least give the other great stories occurring in football this season some equal time. EVERY OTHER SEGMENT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ABOUT THE TROLL. That reminds me, the Colts and Patriots are playing tonight; let’s see how ESPN does on the pre-game coverage…
Breaking News- So the troll won't be back in an Eagles uniform according to Andy Reid at his press conference. Good. That is all we need to hear about it. Please do not mention this subject until the troll is picked up by a new team.
