For many of us baby boomer who do remember the D C Comics super hero Superman's alien enemy called Mister Mxyptlk who uses pranks on his rival from Krypton to make him look bad. What makes me laugh that the news media who fawns over Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning who is part of the Nausea Football League "Royal Family" are know frowning about his time playing college football at the University of Tennessee where he allegedly sexually assaulted his trainer Dr Jaime Naughright. . There are some people who are saying that Shaun King who is a writer for the New York Daily News is taking shots at Manning who is White since King is a member of Black Lives Matter movement (Gasp) is trying to show his readers that Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton who is Black is treated differently than Manning. Okay so nobody is perfect since we all have done stupid things when we were younger. What makes me laugh is that I expected Manning to ride his horsey into the sunset and live his life after football like any mortal human being. Gee whiz Peyton welcome to the Rocky Balboa club when actor Sylvester Stallone faced the pressure of fame after his Rocky movie came out in 1976. Not everybody likes a winner in life. What amuses me is that when Cam Newton walked away from the post Super Bowl press conference he was called a "sore loser" for not answering the questions to the press like Manning would do. Okay we all not carbon copies of each other. Some of us can handle defeat over a sports event better than others. I do remember former New Orleans Saints football coach Mike Ditka saying something to the effect losing a football game is tough but when his golf buddy Payne Stewart died in a plane crash in 1999 it was really tough. I am sure that Peyton will shake off this recent scandal that will his good guy image a small hit since he is royalty in the sport of football since he does not admit to reporters that ESPN that his Creator has been helping him win in life. Oh by the way ESPN thank you for new policy of not allowing any sports stars or celebs talking about politics or religion on your shows. It is just a matter of time before your ship hits an iceberg and sinks into the sea. There is no Marine Boy to save you. Yes I am old enough to remember that cartoon that was on Seven Arts studio. Oh Cam by the way if people bother you about your race tell them to listen to the Village People called "I Am What I Am." The only way that any sports jock will be liked is if they nearly beaten to death. Just ask Ronda Rousey who admitted after she lost her first martial arts fight to Holly Holm she was thinking about ending her life. Notice how she is still in the public eye? One final thought. When I say "Give him or her a brownie point" it means get youself a merit badge from the media for doing your best imitation of Santa Claus to your fans. It is not "whining" to you LeBron James fans. You could not get me to play basketball in the Nausea Basketball Association since Zonian men play bowling.
