Writing your opinion about us and the South Florida community carries about as much weight as what's carried on a fly's back (i.e. not much).
And I'm glad to see CajunT has climbed out from under the rock he's been hiding under these past few days. Coming up for a bit of fresh air?
Just to set the record straight, I do not have any problems which would cause me to have to take metamucil. I do enjoy oatmeal on occasion: a reversion to my childhood when a bowl of steaming oatmeal was a treat on a cold New England morning. I prefer mine with brown sugar, granola and a sliced banana. I work much too hard to have time for game shows.
And, again, for sake of accuracy, I also do not take high blood pressure medicine, do not suffer from Parkinson's or Alzheimer's and have passed every stress test I've ever taken.
I do take Nexium once a day for GERD. It's something that runs in my family and knows no age discrimination. It, in fact, nearly cost my younger brother his life nearly 12 years ago.
I also am not eligible for senior citizen discounts at most restaurants.
I realize that my opinion, at the end of the day, carries no weight. I hope that you realize, that as a sports journalist, I have the right to said opinion.
In my years as a sports journalist, I have found that when expressing opinions, those who respond fall into two categories: One is the man who points out inaccuracies which may have influenced my opinion. The other is the person who can't refute anything I've said and therefore results in personal attacks in order to deflect the matter at hand.
I hope you enjoy your weekend at the ball park. I hope Mr. Wittels breaks the record.
I look forward to my trip to FIU in April. I hope to see the FIU Fanatic there. I've met him and find him to be a great FIU fan. In fact, I'd like to buy him a beer while I'm in town.
You sir, are not invited.
