The Opening Statement

For years I have watched sports and wondered why sports anchors never say what's on their minds. Why the writers from Los Angeles can't say that Manny Ramirez tested positive for steroids and should be burned at the stake like every other positive tester that they threw under the bus. So it's come to my attention that someone should step up and tell the sports stories the way they should be, with complete objection.
For those of you who think that my own sports influences might inhibit this, let me assure you, they won't. I have been an Oakland Raiders fan since I was born, a raider bear in my arms in my crib. I have watched them as a kid struggle through their L.A. stint and continue to watch them fail because Al Davis has gotten so old he cannot coherently run his business anymore.
I have loved sports for as long as I have been alive, and I have hated the subjective behaviors of sports writers who cannot seem to talk bad about their own teams.
So for the sports fans who love baseball for the minor leaguers that still love the game and hate the overpriced, under accomplished players, this is your blog. For the fans who stuck with their teams even if they lost every game, this is your blog. This blog is for the fans way up in the nosebleed seats, who know everything about every player on the field but can't afford the soundproof luxury boxes.
So for those who stumble upon this blog, I hope you stay, because this is where the real fans are.
Welcome to the nosebleed seats.
