Who? What ? Why Beyond The Praise Sports

Who what and why beyond the praise sports? Who is every sports fan voicing their opinion with more depth insight and perspective then the bias local cable affiliate sports channel will give you, every hour on the hour until eventually your opinion mirrors the status quo. “The quarterback won the game I mean he intercepted the pass at the goal line on 2nd and goal to shut the door on an upsetting defeat”. I mean he held the opposing teams quarterback to practically no completions in the 3rd quarter!” Seriously who wants to hear about some second rate corner back that can’t make it to meetings on time, or a rehabilitated Strong safety once suspended for violating the leagues performance enhancing statue coming back to make a game changing play in the biggest game of the season. Well I’ll tell you who, the fan, or observer who understands the game as it’s going on, the fan who probably has game time experience and or a playbook of his own creation uploaded online in his EA Sports account. The former University of know one cares guy who played some college and semi pro ball. The fan who hasn’t played since high school but understand the game better then your local cable affiliate gives you the benefit of when he’s watering down play by play with his old playbook jargon “32 spider wide split banana”, as if you’ve never been in a huddle. What is the purpose of beyond the praise? To get past the Monday morning quarterback conversation or the always said and all to often cliché of the politically correct analysis brought to you buy whom ever wrote the biggest check! The purpose is to get you some passionate incite that goes beyond the hyper sensitive watered down re-run read offs that have turned sports into the ultimate my guy sports that vaguely and shallowly covers every angle all the time with the same old rhetoric and predetermined praise. Why Beyond the Praise Sports because after a weekend football binge and a unsatisfactory performance from your favorite team you want real answers. You remember that pass dropped in the end zone that your so called inaccurate quarterback laid in under duress pitch perfectly after getting his clock cleaned and the wide out dropped. Because you remember when the defensive back clipped the wide out just before the pass sailed his way and the referee didn’t blink to throw an obvious pass interference call! Why because to you just like a quarterback at the line of scrimmage calling an audible you can read the defense just as well as you can the slanted bias basic broadcasting news that hardly resembles water cooler conversations of the die-hard football fanatic. Beyond the praise is deep like your anxiety after a heartbreak loss and, long like the flight home or walk to the house after you lost the farm on the game of a lifetime. Beyond the praise (BTPS) is about looking past the routine answers and getting into the topic from perspectives only heard from honest sports minds without the common praise. Beyond the praise is you after work on the phone with your uncle in Chicago telling them what really happened beyond the praise is the unpopular, unorthodox, not said to often yet kind of makes sense view that you sometimes find yourself thinking and saying depending on what caliber of sports guru your talking to.
