I have a challenge for everyone.
What was your favorite sports moment this year that did not involve your favorite team or player?
That automatically eliminates a ton related to those Red Sox, doesn't it, Boston readers?
My personal favorite involved watching the Golden State Warriors giving the Bay Area something to cheer about when defeating the Dallas Mavericks. It wasn't necessarily the game itself or even watching the crowd at The Oracle. It was seeing Warrior fans flock to Las Vegas for the Oscar de la Hoya/Floyd Mayweather Jr. tilt the next day. If you could have only seen their faces. Complete euphoria, shock and disbelief.
Here is my second favorite (because I found a video for it):
Mind you, I have nothing personally against Reggie Bush, in fact, I think he's going to be a fine player in the NFL. However, that was just ridonculous, as my friend and former radio co-host would say.
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.
