BELIVERS OF THE LIE

**** IT IS FUN TO WATCH MEMPHIS TIGER BASKETBALL . TIGER FANS ARE ON FANTASY ISLAND .

THEY BELIEVE THIS LIE; THE TIGERS ARE AN ELITE NATIONAL PROGRAM .
 PLEASE!! THE TEAM HAS BEEN TO THREE FINAL FOURS IN 40 YEARS WITH NO NATIONAL TITLES .

KANSAS , KENTUCKY , DUKE ,UNC , & U-CONN ARE ELITE NATIONAL PROGRAMS NOT MEMPHIS .

I AM NOT SURE UCLA IS AN ELITE PROGRAM ANYMORE , THE BRUINS HAVE WON ONLY ONE CHAMPIONSHIP IN 37 YEARS .

BACK TO MEMPHIS , THE TIGERS ARE A GOOD TEAM IN A BAD CONFERENCE . THERE IS NO WAY MEMPHIS WILL NOT WIN AROUND 23 GAMES .

THE TIGERS DON'T ALWAYS PLAY HARD & SELDOM PLAY SMART . THE PLAYERS DON'T FEAR THE COACH OR PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO JOSH .

THE FANS ALWAYS ARE UNHAPPY BECAUSE THE TIGERS DIDN'T LIVE UP TO THE HYPE .  ON & ON IT GOES .

**** I SAW THIS LIE ON T-SHIRTS AT A BALL GAME ;
HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT DOESN'T WORK HARD

THIS LIE HAS RUINED MANY A YOUNG PLAYER WHEN HE ,DAD ,AND COACH HAVE DECIDED WE WILL OUT -WORK EVERYBODY .

FOLKS , I CAN WORK HARD 24/7 & I WON'T BEAT CHRIS PAUL IN BASKETBALL IF HE DOESN'T HIT A LICK .

HARD WORK IS ONLY A FACTOR WHEN THE TALENT LEVEL IS CLOSE TO EQUAL .

THIS LIE HAS LEAD TO YEAR- ROUND PROGRAMS , WEIGHT LIFTING , CONDITIONING WORK AND SPECIALIZATION .

A GAME YOU STARTING PLAYING FOR FUN HAS TURNED INTO A BURDEN & A GRUELING JOB .

SOMETHING YOU LOVED BECOMES SOMETHING YOU DREAD . RELATIONSHIPS SOUR  AS PLAYER BECOMES DISCOURAGED BUT PARENTS & COACH  SAY HE NEEDS TO WORK HARDER & HARDER .

WHAT HAPPENED TO PLAYING BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE GAME AND IT'S FUN . CHANGE GAMES WHEN THE SEASONS CHANGE , AND PLAY SEVERAL SPORTS .

YOU ONLY HAVE A VERY SHORT TIME TO PLAY . MOST PEOPLE DON'T PLAY BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL . ENJOY PLAYING ! DON'T MAKE IT A DEATH MARCH .

**** ANOTHER LIE - GET A COLLEGE EDUCATION AND YOU WILL HAVE JOB OPPORTUNITIES.

WRONG ! WHAT YOU WILL HAVE FOR SURE IS HAVING SPENT A GREAT AMOUNT OR A PILE OF DEBT .

SOME PEOPLE ARE BURDENED WITH STUDENT DEBT FOR 20 TO 30 YEARS . IT IS NOT SMART TO START THE RACE WITH MASSIVE DEBT .

***** IT IS TIME FOR THE NFL CAROUSEL TO START SPINNING . LET'S SEE WHO GETS THROWN OFF .

***** TELL YOUR MOMMA & THEM I LOVE EVERYBODY    MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!
