Let's see if I can keep this going... a sports blog on Mondays and a non-sports blog on Thursdays. A schedule you can check in on regularly, right? A little something for everyone, right?
Sometimes I think I'm a little crazy, and it's usually confirmed by facts and evidence. But, sometimes enough time goes by that my silly brain isn't stopped from building a conspiracy theory. Then there are existing theories that I actually find some validity to.
- Flu shots are a hoax. Now I'm not saying they're meant as some sort of mind control serum, but I think they are a placebo. It's sounds crazy that in order to prevent a virus, you inject that virus into your body. This is why during "epidemics" babies and the elderly always get the first crack at the shots... they are easiest to convince it works.
- The NCAA favors certain programs when conducting investigations. Sometimes the evidence starts to pile up too high, so the NCAA stalls for just long enough (Ex: They took so long on the USC football investigation that Pete Carroll had time to wait for the right NFL job to open up). Yes, they bust some premiere programs, but usually after they've worn out their welcome (see Florida State football 2008 or Tennessee basketball 2010). When was the last time you saw a powerhouse program have their National Championship season derailed by NCAA sanctions?
- The 2-party political system is intended to keep the populous fickle and in a constant state of debate to avoid revolution/uprising. We've been dealing with this frustrating "lesser of 2 evils" system for about 200 years. Raise your hand if you agree with EVERYTHING the party you associate with stands for... didn't think so. When it comes to ONE, single issue, it's really easy to chose sides. But does it make you a bad Republican if you are anti-welfare and pro-choice? I could imagine it would difficult to have a strong (read: controlling) government if each elected official formed their own political stance based on the views of a majority (at least) of their district. I believe that politics are too diverse to limit representatives to just two options. I'll explain my zeal for coalition governments in a later blog.
- Video games have an "F-You" mode. Those of us that play video games, specifically a large amount of one game have come to notice that you can't win every time. This can be seen specifically in sports games, such as Madden. No matter how good you get, every so often the computer goes into "F-You" mode and insists that you will lose. It conveniently happens when you least expect it... like going into a home game against an inferior opponent when you're riding a 22-game winning streak. (Note: It even happens on the easiest skill levels.)
- The media pays athletes and celebrities to make news. Look, I love ESPN. Without it, I probably wouldn't have gone into journalism and failed at it. Have you noticed how much of the "news" is about celebrities (and athletes) acting abnormally? I think there is a strong possibility that someone in the media is paying the Lohan family to keep being stupid. What about the chance that ESPN paid Brett Favre to be so wishy-washy about his comebacks? How else would you explain Jennifer Anniston never finding love (other than personal hygiene)?
- Whomever deals out karmic justice is being paid off. It's the main reason most people don't believe it karma... when you think your time has come, it doesn't.
