Where Are All the Sports Role Models?

Simon and Garfunkel, in the classic song Mrs. Robinson, ask the now-famous question "Where have you gone Joe Dimaggio, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you?" Is there no such thing any more as a sports hero? Tiger Woods used to fly like an eagle but has ended up in a hole (actually in many of them!). Tiger's hyperactive putter and flying balls have landed him in a trap and made him out to a bogey-man. What a putts! Lebron James used to be perceived as a cavalier gentleman but is now taking the heat for being such a basket case. His contract with Cleveland should have been a slam dunk but, in signing with Miami, his reputation has taken a hit in the court of public opinion. What dribble drabble! Alex Rodriguez used to be known as A-Rod; now he's known as A-Fraud. Rodriguez is now the prime candidate to be inducted into the Hall of Shame; certainly not the Hall of Fame. What a knuckler-head! And what's up with Brett Favre? Training camp begins and you think, 'so Favre, so good'. Then he takes a pass and retires. He fumbles his words as he talks to the press but seems to get a kick out of it all. What a sad sack! A Favre cry from the good old days.
