On A Pale Horse

What always bothered me were those people that were so anti 'something' in public and behind closed doors they were overly involved in the same activity (huh?). Like I respect my mom, but totally disagree with her when it comes to homosexuality. She is 100% against it, she even stopped watching Rosie & Ellen just because they came out. She's told me this in public and at the dinner table. I wonder what she would do if she ever found out that I had a girlfriend for awhile (oops). It's the people that will publically denouce a topic, such as homosexuality, and then are a complete deviant when they are behind closed doors. Example, James West, the former mayor of Spokaine, Washington. He publically supported anti-gay legislature & led a movement to impeach a governer for sexual harassment. But the hypocritical politican sexually assulted two boys while serving as a Boy Scout leader and his online profile on Gay.com was RightBi-Guy (hot!).

He said he was sorry but was recalled anyway.

He passed away from complications of colon cancer.

I rag on Detroit a lot. The city deserves it. We clean up nice for the cameras (All Star Game, Superbowl XXL) but the city is still a shithole. We've got the Tigers, the Red Wings, the Pistons, the Shock, MSU but we don't have a football team and we haven't had one since William Clay Ford Sr bought the team in the early 60's. But that doesn't mean we haven't had great players like Barry Sanders, Billy Sims, Lem Barney, Gus Frerotte - well I liked him. We've had our share of jokes: Scott Mitchell, Wayne Fonts, Monte Clark, Charlie Batch but even though these guys performed they never really got us anywhere.
But enough bitching...
Ray Oldman, a corner back, played with the Lions 1980 - 1982 passed away on Saturday, July 23rd during a bicycle ride.
By the time he reached the Lions he was a seasoned veteran having won the Super Bowl in 1978 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also played with the New York Giants and the now defunct Baltimore Colts. He finished up his 10 year career and moved to Tennessee where he was working as a consultant for FranChoice.
I know this is horrid time to mention my personal creed but that is just my style "Eat Well, Exercise and Die Anyway"
