Taking advantage of a grumpy mood to run down a few things that irritate me in one way or another. Hope I don't offend anyone. I'm sure not all of you will agree with all of them. Even the first one, I know some people won't agree at all:
*The North Face-- I'm sure they must make good products, because of the husiness they do. But anyone who is smug enough to put their name on BOTH sides of the product...
*The 3-point shot-- John Thompson once said that he would rather see a small circle around the basket, inside of which all baskets made count for 3 points. I wouldn't go that far, but he gets it. I get much more pleasure from seeing a team work for an easy shot than seeing someone heave one in from far outside. One fan I talked to said that the 3-pointer ruined basketball. Again, I wouldn't go that far. But it could disappear from all levels of basketball over the summer, and I wouldn't miss it.
*Warrensville Heights High School-- This is sad, in a way, because I spent my K-3 years in the system. But the high school, and really the whole system, has become a total disaster.
There are times when you need to sit down, think about things, and realize that what you have on your hands just does not work-- and then tear it down and start over. They really need to do this. Keep the expensive gym (a stupid use of money, given the state of things) and destroy everything else.
*Our country's continued resistance to revamping the health care system--Don't get me started.
More to come...
