You know, we may have to rewrite that old song "Take Me Out To the Ballgame." Now it’s give me some steroids and watch me hit, and I’ll be a champ though I don’t deserve it. Actually it’s pretty sad, there are more sluggers and pitchers with a secret. They’ve used illegal growth hormones and drugs that will make them unnaturally strong, and it’s put a cloud over baseball. Look at this big, strong star out there, and you’ve got to ask yourself, “Yeah, but is he for real?” It’s the “anything to win” approach to life, and that’s not just in sports.
Terry Bradshaw is kind of a legendary quarterback, and he called the ’08 Super Bowl the greatest Super Bowl he’s ever seen. The Giants were a 12-point underdog vs. the 18-0 New England Patriots, and the Giants stunned the sports world. The Las Vegas bookies lost two and a half million dollars on it. Now, the Giants Coach, Tom Coughlin, explained one secret of his under-rated players’ success. He said they took the name off the back of their jerseys and they checked their egos at the door.
Simon Fuller is the inventor of the blockbuster TV show "American Idol," and he said, "Only one person can be the American Idol.” Well, maybe so, but it seems like hundreds of people who audition for this blockbuster talent competition think it’s going to be them. They have to face Paula, Randy and Simon -- the judges. And they decide how good you are. For a lot of people, it’s brutal…it’s devastating actually.
Well, another comic book hero has hit the big screen! They call him Iron Man; real name Tony Stark. He’s just another everyday guy who suddenly acquires amazing powers. Now in Iron Man’s case, he’s got the ability to generate this covering of iron armor and it gives him super-human strength, and powerful weapons, and fly-ability too. But he’s got some problems, like life threatening health issues and battles with alcohol. One write up describes him as a hero with iron but feet of clay.
Hey, “Lost” is back! You know, it’s that TV show that’s been hailed as one of TV’s best and most creative series. It’s about these people that are stranded on this island by an airplane crash, and slowly we learn of their often kind of like dark pasts. They’re figuring out who they are, they’re figuring out where they are, they’re figuring out who they can trust and how to get un-lost…which is a lot like us.
