I love watching most sports and have enjoyed the Winter Olympics. I wonder if I am the only one disturbed however by how important chance seems to be in many winter events. I am particularly thinking about short track skating and snowboard cross. The Olympics should be about being the best,not the luckiest.
The year the Red Sox won the World Series, they had the second highest payroll in the MLB. The White Sox had the 13th highest payroll last year. The Yankees payroll is staggering but they get the return on that.
As to Rasheed, this is a swim forum, but suffice it to say anyone who knows a thing about the NBA knows that Rasheed is not an underachiever and has changed the definition of a power forward. ESPN actually had some graphics last week about his impact on the Pistons. It was very revealing.
You claim you could take a team of roll players and beat a dream team. There hasn't been a team like that to win the WS, the NCAA tourney, the BCS series, NCAA swim championships, NCAA soccer, etc, in years and years. Maybe in HS you can have roll players win but no longer in college and pros. Those days are long over.
