Let the Games Begin

Chad Johnson, the player formerly known as Ochocinco (perhaps now, Oehosinko), had a really bad week. He was arrested. Then he was fired by the Miami Dolphins. Then he was fired by VHl. Then he was fired by his wife. We racked our brains, but we can't remember anyone getting; fired three times in one week since Billy Martin managed the Yankees under George Steinbrenner. But even Chad's firing made for great television, with it being captured by HBO cameras that just happened to be featuring the South Florida gridiron side in this years installment of Hard Knocks. And that's just the way it's going for sports fans, who head from the Olympics (you miss team handball, don't you?) right into the best time of the year for televised sports. From the baseball stretch drive (now featuring two extra playoff slots to battle for) to the start of football-both college and pro-it's about that time when couches and waistlines across America get abused for months. You know.. .because we're so healthy the rest of the year.
