This is the story of a couple of young men. Some who were a couple of good time Charlies in Vancouver, and one who’s devoted to his faith. For some reason, the media wants to pile on both of them. For the life of me, I don’t get it.
Let’s start with the boys in the limo. The Chicago Blackhawks Kris Versteeg, Patrick Kane, and John Madden had a good time with a couple of young ladies in the back of a limo in the wild streets of Vancouver, BC, Canada. They had crazy sunglasses, shirts off, and drinking. We don’t know if anything happened or the boys just screwed around being nutty. Being in Canada does make you nutty. Sometimes in a good way. The only problem with what happened; one of the girls thought it would be fun to take pictures, and they ended up on the internet.
Lets be frank here, the Blackhawks rule hockey right now. The franchise has gone through one of the biggest turnarounds in sports history. You have one of the best offenses in the game. They’re for lack of a better word, rock stars. People want to hang with them, and I’m sure some young ladies in the old BC would love to hang with the best thing going in hockey right now. I don’t know why Kaner sits there in his underwear. I don’t understand what’s up with those glasses Versteeg has on. What I do know, with the exception of Madden, they are young boys.
Boys will be boys, and everyone wants to make a big deal of this, why? Perhaps here in Chicago, no one knows who the Bears new coordinators are, and that story gets older than Chris Chelios everyday. I am sure worse shit happens in other places. At least we didn’t see the boys make it rain and punch strippers in the face. They’re not waving handguns in the locker room. The youngsters aren’t shooting needles in their buttocks in toilet stalls. They’re just some young punks having fun. Sure John Madden has a wife at home, and he’s flexing for the camera. Perhaps he’s drunk. We all have done dumb things when that happens. You know, get drunk. I once woke up with a rhino when I got drunk. Just kidding.
Then there’s the other end of the spectrum. Tim Tebow and his good family values. It seems many want to attack the young man for his belief in God, and family. He has always been a target of criticism, and it sure doesn’t make a hell of a lot of sense to me. However, he’s taking a beating now for being the spokesperson for Focus on the Family, a Christian based organization that does work for goodness. Yeah they suck. Anyway, Tebow will be speaking on a pro life commercial on Superbowl Sunday and many people say that there’s no place for this type of advertisement on “the new holiday” of America. Well, for one it’s Sunday, the holy day of rest, so it has all the right to be there. Just kidding.
In all seriousness, throughout all the ads for Go Daddy where you can supposedly see Danica Patrick naked or whatever, all the ridiculous beer ads, why not have a message of Goodness? Sure, some people may be pro choice, well get your organization to do a pro choice ad on Superbowl Sunday. Point being, Tim Tebow is a young man who comes from a family that does amazing things, all being good and just. The boy shouldn’t be attacked for his beliefs. People accuse of trying to push an agenda down everyone’s throat, but what better day to express your message, than the one day us fat, lazy, Americans watch more TV than any other day.
The boys in the limo from the Blackhawks, and Tim Tebow are not what’s wrong with society. What’s wrong with society is that is passes judgment on a young man trying to do good, and a couple of kids just screwing around behind closed doors. It’s a shame that camera phones are everywhere nowadays. Perhaps society should take a picture of itself, and hang it on the wall, and walk away, like when stupid things like this come up.
