What's Missing?

Hello? Anybody home? (scoutmom taps on the screen to get your attention). I have an important question for you.

Please bear with me...and read through to the bottom.

I was going to write about the NCAA BCS Championship Game between THE Ohio State and LSU. I was going to write about the NFL playoffs Divisional match-ups. I was going to write about Roger Clemens saying "never...never...never" on 60 Minutes last night when asked about HGH, testosterone and steroid usage. I've been going to write about a lot of stuff lately, but every time I start, I ask myself "why"?

Why take the time to give the facts, or an occasional pithy comment about sports? Okay, so they're not THAT pithy but sometimes they are, right? Right? Hello? Someone? Anyone? Bueller?? Dang!

Granted what I write isn't going to win me any recognition or awards. That's not why I do it. I started doing this because it was fun and because people seemed to like to comment on what I was writing when I did it over in the forums. I wanted to do something that would provoke some thought, start a dialogue or maybe bring a smile to your face.

But when nobody reads it, why do it? It's kind of like "If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear, does it make a sound?" or "If a husband says something and his wife isn't around to hear, is he still wrong?" Sorry, couldn't resist!

I guess what I'm asking is this: Is there something you would like to see more (or less) of? Box scores without the commentary? Commentary without the box scores? BLT, hold the mayo?

Argh, mateys, this be yer chance to let me know what I need to be writin' about! !
