Sports matters?

I love my job.

I hate doing on my job on days like Monday.

You went to work not expecting our country would be attacked by terrorists. All day long you talked to co-workers and friends about the events in Boston. I’m sure you got in the car on the way home and turned on Doug & Wolf.

I make the assumption because if you’re reading this, I assume you’re a fan of the show. It is our job to offer an escape to you. You should be able to count on us to make sports seem important when we all know it isn’t. I struggle to create the diversion from reality for you when I’m watching reality unfold on TV. I also have a hard time, because I’m a passionate person. My opinions are based on factual research, life experiences and that passion. When tragedy happens, I lose all passion for other things.

I was passionately against the Masters allowing Tiger to continue this weekend.

I couldn’t wait to salute Trevor Cahill.

I was looking forward to talking about the Coyotes’ stretch run.

I wanted to blast the NBA for the officiating in the Lakers-Warriors game from the weekend.

Every opinion of mine is still there, but it just feels hollow today. If I let you down on Monday’s show, I’m sorry.
