I guess my problem is I am not much into hero worship of athleits. I know guys like Micheal Jordan made bushel baskets of money, but that just doesn't mean I'm going to piss my pants when I hear his name or any other person who is gifted at some sport.

America seems to be fixated on sports heroes, but I just don't get into that stuff. When I first got out of high school I worked a Boeing. All the guys there were football addicts and was always wanting to bet on who won what and by how many points. Well I let them talk me into betting on the game that week-end and of course I would listen, had no TV then just radio to see if I won or lost.

Guess what, I found if I didn't bet I could care less who won or lost. So I stopped betting and went hunting. Enjoyed myself a lot more, even if I never shot anything.
