Why Brett

What is up web. Tonight I am coming to you with a rant about athletes and one in particular. Brett Farve, don't get me wrong by this rant I am a Brett fan. I think he has done a excellent job in the NFL. The stats speak for themselves but I do have an issue with him and most other athletes. Why is it they don't just come out and tell you the truth. The drama that is involved with the retirement non retirement and so on has got to stop. Really what does it matter what team he plays for or any other athletes for that matter. Yes teams want the best players they can get talent wise but lately (many years) athletes think they are entitled to something. They are not. Maybe my issue is not with the players but the fans. Why do we care what team has him. Is your team not good enough? if not what can you do about it? Not much, That is the biggest problem I see. People really think they have a say in what goes on because they are fans. Well if you had a say how come you are the one getting the worst deal out of this. Fans get some entertainment in watching a game but boy have we be suckered into paying way to much to do that. I not just talking about the sixty dollar ticket to the game, but the food and drink, parking, and so on. Now you say well then I will just watch it on TV and that is free. Well I say not if you have cable or satellite and then you went and got that extra package to watch every game that is played for the season. Why do you really need that. Then lets say you don't have any of that. You can usually watch your favorite team on free broadcast (which I recommend). But yet this is not free, yep advertisements pay for that as we all know. But for the sad part even a person who hats football is paying for all those athletes millions of dollars. Yep because those companies have to get there money from somewhere and that comes from every purchase we make every day whether you like it or not. people will complain about gas prices until the end of time but you never here anyone say I cant believe a 12 ounce Coke is a $1.39, Do you realize that is $14.87 a gallon, and we complain about gas! I don't understand why we as people let ourselves get taken advantage of but as an individual we will not stand up for that. The same thing happens in politics. If you think it is too much to get tickets to a game you don't. But there is always the next person in line to get that ticket you did not. But we all complain that almost all athletes make way to much money. Then they complain about it and don't try as hard as they should. When something gets to big like the football or the government something needs to be done. Lets sit back and think about what happened to all other great empires that were like ours. They all collapsed. We are on the same path of greed and self preservation as all other great civilizations were in the past and this Brett thing is just another example of that. What makes him so special that needs 14 million dollars this year and gets all this news coverage. Just because he plays football, very well I will add. I would enjoy to go watch football but I just don think it is worth it. In the long run I would rather watch a youth sporting event in the community. What do you think?????????????????????

Cable vs Satilite vs broadcast TV

Recently I removed satellite TV from my house. One of the best things I could have ever done. I currently only have broadcast TV. First off I did it to save money. Since the conversion from analog to digital broadcast is great. Why pay for TV that is all ready free. Most of the programs 80% that my family and I watch are broadcast programs. The other programs were just something to pass the time. The biggest benefit I have gotten from this is a understanding that there are other things to do with your time rather than watch TV. Don't get me wrong I like TV like the next person. I just think we are wasting to much time in front of the TV. This is the first year that I have been able to grow a healthy garden. I have tried for the past five years. The flowers that my wife has planted this year are all doing well. I believe this is because instead of plopping down in front of the grove tube we are getting up and taking care of stuff. My kids are watching better programing also. We had a concern that they might get bored. Then we woke up and thought about our childhoods and we did not have the twenty four seven cartoons. That for the most part just drain away a child's imagination. Broadcast TV does have a twenty for seven cartoon channel but the shows on there all have a good message. My kids have become more creative and more interactive with the both of us because we have removed this big distraction from our daily lives. We do gather around and watch some shows but we do not go into separate rooms and watch our own shows. We are getting outside more and enjoying life the way it was meant to be.
One day I think that Americans will come to the same conclusion that we do not need to pay for TV when we get what we need for free. Also most all show that we used to watch are available online. But i have found that we o not go online and watch them. Some things you can just go without. Being a zombie to your family is defiantly something you can go with out. Get up and shut off the 300 channels of nothing to watch and enjoy your family and friends. Life will get better for you it has for me and it has only been 3 months. I can see it only getting better as we get closer.
