 That's why music is SO much better. Assuming you choose wisely & barring the occasional trainwreck of a show, going to a concert will rarely send you home very unhappy. Versus the ~ approx 50% chance you have every time you go to a sporting event of being a 'loser'.
 
 

ESPN has got this story today on sports misery and despair
  misery index
 
 including a pretty funny cartoon that illustrates my point

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

I'm shocked that Pollard hasn't brought up the Danton saga in St. Louis yet, but this guy was about to be outed by his boyfriend so he was going to have him killed right?  Or is this guy just a wack job?
 
 And they have the nerve to pull the plug on Playmakers!

Earlier I was going through all the bad things that have happened involving sports teams I like recently, I gave up on the Blues a couple of months ago, they make it hard to care.  Overpaid crap.
 
 The Danton thing is weird, who knows what the motive is, I was thinking that the guy was going to the Blues with info about drugs and alcohol abuse.  Danton has a screwed up past, changed his name from Jefforson because he hates his family.  His dad has come out in the press blaming Danton's agent for his problems and the agent has called Danton's dad the village idiot.  Danton also was suspended twice by the Devils for substance abuse problems. But I also thought about the outing by his boyfriend.  But why would the "boyfriend" out Danton to the Blues, what do they care.

Maybe he was going to break up with him?  Just like Playmakers.  People seem to think that if a homosexual came out of the closet, he would be ruined in the sports world.  That's why that catcher for the Mets has never come out.  
 
 Maybe he's not sure so he was hooking up with this girl too?  I'm still not sure what her role could be.
 
 Just a thought though.....

interesting, I still wonder what information the guy could be going to the Blues organization with, would be one thing to out Danton in public, but it is been mentioned several times that there was a threat to talk to the organization

No, I think I will just sit here and cry.  What a disappointment.

Back to the Danton case, it looks like his agent was the target - http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/Sports/Blues/07712F8A1664D6CF86256E7C001993B4?OpenDocument&Headline=Danton's+agent+may+have+been+target
