Years from now, when people look back on 2007, what will they remember as the defining sports moment? Geez, will they have to pick just one? We had crooked refs and sideline spy games, O.J. back in court, a memorable Rockies run, a damaging Rocket revelation, a Brett Favre revival and perhaps the biggest upset in college football history. Meanwhile, months after one franchise quarterback finally shut critics up and hoisted the Lombardi Trophy, another franchise quarterback was hauled off to prison for his role in a dog fighting ring. Nice.
We’ve done our best to recap the year’s biggest sports stories, staying true to tradition by breaking our Year End Sports Review into three sections: What we learned, What we already knew, and What we think might happen. Up first are the things we learned in 2007, a list that’s littered with scandal, steroids, espianoge and young sluggers.

Not punished? None of the baseball cheaters punished? So what’s the damn point? As bad as the Tour de France may be, at least they punish the cheaters.
What we’re saying basically is that if the Black Sox had been caught throwing the World Series a couple of years after the fact, they wouldn’t even get an asterisk.
Shameful. All over America today, kids are shooting up knowing they may get caught, but they won’t get punished.
I for one have become numb to the nonsense of sport and I suspect that other people have also done the same. We read about the millions, we read about the drugs, shootings, beatings, cars, women on and on and we don’t care. We now have coaches quiting in the middle of a season, before a bowl game and other Schools pay milions to get these guys.
It’s like watching a car wreck
It’s all a shame. It’s all about the money – bottom line. And it stinks. We, the fans will pay the price. We have no idea who is doing what behind closed doors in order to chase the almighty dollar. We shouldn’t care …. but we still do.
