I was watching an NFL post-game show on Sunday and Bob Costas and some other clown came back from break all serious and told me that Chris Simms spleen had burst during the game and he nearly died. No sooner had they finished that sentence when they then began to talk about when he will be back and the fantasy implications and what not. I seriously thought Costas was just going to say, “With an injury like that, he may have to be destroyed,” Kentucky Derby style. Get it together Costas, he’s not Barbaro, who I sort of wish would have been destroyed, he is a human being, how about some compassion? You can rest assured if it had been Peyton or Eli injured we would have a scrolling feed on every sports channel updating their minute by minute bowel movements into the bedpan. Costas would come on and say, “Word out of the hospital, Eli forgot to shake after urinating, got pee on his hospital gown. More on that coming up at the top of the hour.” But as Simms is a second tier quarterback, we will get sporadic reports like “Simms not dead” and “Simms still not dead, may play week 6.” Such is the life of an NFL football player I guess. You see the same thing on Sportscenter all the time. They show a quick story about how someone sports-related dies, followed by a somber three seconds, immediately followed by Stu Scott taking us to commercial by yelling “Booyah” as they tease a Diamondbacks/Dodgers highlight. Real classy ESPN, get that taken care of or I might only watch three episodes of Sportcenter a day instead of five. Clowns.
