A Great Attitude from Junior

"I always look at everything as whatever happens happens," Earnhardt Jr. said. "You do the best , 100 percent every day and do my best. The good Lord's going to take me wherever I go in life. I'll be fine. I'm going to win races."

This is a quote from the Charlotte Observer's David Poole's column.

A true sportsman and good human being and gentleman.

Monsters of The Pro Midway

It's a shame that society has helped to create a "don't give a damn" attitude in some pro athletes. Again, we read the headlines that, upon the loss of personal gains, a pro athlete is sorry for his repeated unlawful and disruptive actions in society.

We see this over and over again!

So many have been sent through college with very little personal effort with the exception of effort on the athletic fields.

As long as the old Alma Mater wins, anything goes. The money is coming in!!!!!!

A few get out of college and don't make it to the pro ranks and are lost in the real world.

Some have God-given talents and go to the pros and credit all of their achievements to personal abilities and lose respect for everyone else.

Check out Bluehost owner Matt Heaton's blog post from April 10th for what I feel is another show of disrespect from our pro athletes.

Personally, I think that society has helped to created these Monsters of The Pro Midway.

Now, we have to put up with the consequences.

God Bless,
