Passing Observation No. XYO

Ernie Davis said that he believed he was put on Earth to make people happy.

That may be, but there are two sides to every coin, so that,  because of  his numerous and almost unbelievable football exploits, he must have made at least as many people in Massachusetts, West Virginia, Texas, and other places intensely unhappy.

I seem to recall, don't I, that, during the time when I was interested in sports,  no matter how admirable the players on those teams might have been in their own right,   no New York Yankee, Dallas Cowboy, or St. Louis Hawk ever did a damn thing for me.
