It's Less About Performance

I haven't spent much time talking about on field performance lately. It's not entirely my fault, though. Between the Twins, Vikings, the Wild, the Wolves, and Gopher football there hasn't been a lot of good things to talk about,

Even the Minnesota Lynx this year acted as if they suddenly realized that they played in Minnesota and decided (accordingly) to start playing poorly in crunch time.

And even though college football is a shell of its once glorious self with a play-off system now determining the National Championship to the detriment of every single regular season game, I was looking forward to Clemson vs. Florida State today.

Except now Jameis Winston, the Florida State quarterback and Heismann winner, has been suspended from today's game for vulgar activities this week in the student union at Florida State. The man is constantly in trouble. He's like the prototype now of guys the NFL won't even want to touch because of his ongoing troubles.

I mean why even draft a player who will bring embarrassment to your team and who will force you to cut him anyway? Why waste a top pick on someone who is just going to screw your team over? He may be the best quarterback in college today, but you realize he's not mature enough to make the transition to pro.

The bad players are starting to make it impossible for me to enjoy sports.

At least the Twins won last night. Guys like Hughes, Vargas, Santana, and Arcia keep me hopeful.

Until the next scandal...
