Yesterday, August 3rd, was the day of the Great Shift in sports coverage from baseball to football.  Gone is the non-waiver trade deadline, more gone is the Hall of Fame induction, way gone is the lovefest that was the All-Star Game celebration.  In their place are the stories of NFL players reporting to camp, not reporting, maybe reporting, holding out for more money, pouting, posturing, posing, whimpering, punching people, punching each other, punching themselves (in the face); almost getting murdered, murdering others, getting arrested for some of it but punished for hardly any of it.  Baseball players aren’t all mature, harmless do-gooders (the steroid scandal, Ugueth Urbina, Josias Manzanillo, and others) but thank goodness those in charge let us get through one full month of summer – July – before “whetting our appetite for Fall” by posting what amounts to little more than a police blotter.
