Football is still on my mind. AARP's January/February 2010 magazine has an article on why Terry Bradshaw hates the Super Bowl. That news caught me off guard so I read it. I understand what was being said by Mr. Bradshaw. It was the paparazzi causing the problem. "...you can't make a move without a thousand cameras." The celebrityism of the roll facing Terry is way more that I could stand. Maybe if I were making the kind of money Terry did and still does, I could adjust. He says he couldn't stand losing a game; nor could I. However, the closest I've come to football was when my bother played high school football and as an adult, I married into the Oregon Ducks family and still love it. I do watch it on TV now but did go to the stadium to watch home games. In this article, James Brown is preparing to anchor his sixth Super Bowl on Feb. 7, 2010 and he says it's more than just a game; the best parts of the game usually don't make the highlights reel. Phyllis George, the First Lady of Football in the1970s remembers thinking "Look at the hits these guys take and began studying links between pro football and Alzheimer’s. She continues today asking "Shouldn't there be long-term compensation in case they end up with a brain disorder?" Now that's a thought! If they did, walking out of the front door could be hazardous to your health, so do we pay extra for insurance coverage? I don't have an answer to this question. Do you? |
