The analogies that people use to describe situations are laughable to me. The Orlando Magic have been left at the altar. Billy Donovan wants to stay.

These people need to get over themselves. Billy needs to man up and face the decision he made; he signed a contract. The Orlando Magic need to quit walking around with their heads down kicking up dirt.

To create an analogy, I would say that ...

...this situation is exactly like the Cam Neely commercial he did for "ESPN News" many years ago. It shows Cam gardening and living the nice life in a home and a nice little dog running around. Then they start talking about how great he was going to be but had unrealized expectations. He then looks at the camera, says some stuff and then adds, "You wanna kick my dog while you're here!"

I would have included that commercial but it has been very difficult to find.

Also, for all those who don't know, I am a genius. Self-appointed Adam Smith clone. If you will read in my archives entitled Beer vs. No Beer, you will see that my dilemma proposed by a friend of mine has surfaced.

Moving on: I feel as if I need to always include some sort of photo, bullet, poll or diagram to keep my readers (three of you, based on last count) hooked, today will be different.

I am going to tackle a subject that will probably cause a phone call to my boss or an e-mail, but it needs to be said. Abilene is a football town. I don't agree with it, but the fact remains, you must feed the beast or it will find another place to eat.

www.gofridaynight.com is the Reporter-News baby. It is the best coverage in the Big Country and last year had several MILLION visitors. This is not matched by any other site for high school football within 100 miles. Moving on, no more sales talk....

I'm just saying this because it's June and it's already begun. Wylie this, Abilene High that, Cooper is going to be the big surprise. It’s June.

I played poker with our sports editor the other night; let's just say that he is a much better sports editor than poker player. Actually, he was not that bad, but my kids did get to eat at McDonald's the following night.

Just to follow-up about a tease I made several days ago about Discount Tire. They provided me with exceptional service, were able to upsell me into some nice tires for a good price and even gave me free coffee. I seriously could sit in that place for an hour and write gold. I may do that on a Saturday when they run one of their specials in our paper.

I was injured in Wiffle ball last Wednesday. All that and more next time.

If you have any opinions about anything, I would be happy to give you the right answer.
