It was this morning on the radio during a conversation about the Lakers. For some reason, the conversation veered off topic and Jared Goff came up. Keyshawn said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Look, when it comes to Goff we made a mistake." His crew razzed him and said, "You mean YOU. There ain't no WE!" and Keyshawn explained how everyone had been mesmerized by RGIII, Cam Newton, et. al. all of whom had tremendous rookie years. He said that people failed to pay enough attention to what Goff had around him, or to consider that he might need a little longer time to develop because of the system that he played in in college. He said that pro sports generally is pervaded by a microwave culture, meaning that people lack patience and long term vision. They generally expect results and stats right away.
Listening to Keyshawn was like poetry because he stated just what I and lots of others have been writing for two years now.
Maybe it wasn't quite Dante or Dostoevsky (and I do consider his writing poetic) but it was good.
Let there be light!
