Despite the obvious swipes taken at the event that is our Presidential election, Scribe usually strays from non-sports topics because for many, sports are a diversion along with a big business. With that said, this Gawker link was sent to me this morning and to describe what CNBC's Mad Money host Jim Cramer says here is the absolute truth is an understatement. Gawker is far from my cup of tea, but they get props for this.
No matter how much speculation there is about how Black Monday on Wall Street will affect every single American, there's not a shred of doubt that we are quicker to rail on DeSean Jackson than Richard S. Fuld. So regardless on your personal opinion on Cramer - a former sports writer, mind you (that had to have been interesting) - just watch.
It's unfortunate that I cannot post the video itself into Scribe, but if anyone knows how to (since it's not YouTube), please assist.
Perception is reality, the saying goes. Modern players can never transcend time, athletes only care about the money and the fan is never wrong. Yet, all you need to do is dig a little deeper to find the truth. As a freelance sportswriter, my job is to give the audience a story around what just happened. As a consumer, I expect that sports will always provide more than I bargained for. As a fan, my hopes are to be enlightened by more than points. Welcome to the mind of a sports scribe.
