The Decision

Shameful.

A shameful moneygrab. Shame on you ESPN. Shame on him, too.

I won't even say his name.

He has "The Chosen One" tattooed on his back. Just in case you needed any further indications of this man's character.

Chosen for what, exactly?

Chosen for First and Second Round Upsets.
Chosen to be swept up handily in the Finals.
Chosen to spread perennial disappointment.

I'm all for maximizing revenue. This is America. However, there is a thin line between Advantageous and Greedy. That line will be further blurred by this charade.

It's an impressive circus. That much cannot be debated. Over one hundred and sixty thousand "followers" before a single twit was tweeted.

You can't put yourself above the Team.

Rather, you shouldn't.

The Gods of Sport do not look kindly on such acts, and I will not be surprised if he stumbles and breaks an ankle on his way down from the podium.
