Ok, there’s nothing funny to say about Erica Blasberg, LPGA golfer, committing suicide. In fact, this is the type of story that makes you reflect about the relative value of sports. Is it too much pressure to perform for our young people? Okay, you’re not reflecting are you. You’re salivating at the thought of football starting in a few weeks. Anyway, we should be taking a minute to reflect on some of the uglier consequences of our hyper-competitive culture. But, I guess the whole “you’re defined by the company you keep” is pretty much right on in my case.
Not cool. I try to inject a little humanity into this otherwise superficial, vacuous blog that celebrates the merits of Nerdy Shirts and the like, and all I get is give us something funny. Stop the buzz kill.
