Bad News for the Son of God

First it was Barry Bonds. Then Marion Jones. Then Michael Phelps. Then A-Rod. Now look who’s in trouble for violations of athletic regulations. Yikes!

Thanks for your willingness to make a comment. Note: I do not moderate comments before they are posted, though they are automatically screened for profanities, spam, etc., and sometimes the screening program holds comments for moderation even though they're not offensive. I encourage open dialogue and serious disagreement, and am always willing to learn from my mistakes. I will not delete comments unless they are extraordinarily rude or irrelevant to the topic at hand. You do need to login in order to make a comment, because this cuts down on spam. You are free to use a nickname if you wish. Finally, I will eventually read all comments, but I don't have the time to respond to them on a consistent basis because I've got a few other demands on my time, like my "day job," my family, sleep, etc.

So how many sports journalists would even get the irony of this headline anymore? Or the society at large, for that matter? Thanks for sharing the smile!

I have always gotten a kick out of sports coverage for Catholic schools. The headlines are often a kick:
SAINT JOSEPH BEATS MARY MOTHER OF GOD
HOLY FATHERS DISMANTLE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
Whole theological texts could be written on sports headlines.

Outside the realm of parochial schools but in the mix nonetheless, my father (a Penn State grad)loved to tell the story about the PSU Nittany Lions beating Texas Christian Universtiy in football. Headline in the student paper the next day: “Lions 44, Christians 0″
