Well, the unthinkable or I should say the unwantable has happened, The LA Lakers are back in the NBA finals going against the Boston Celtics. I say that because I am not a Lakers fan for several different reasons. One huge reason is #24, and yes, I am going to beat a dead horse and say it stems from his actions at a Colorado resort and an innocent young lady a few years ago. Yes, I understand that possibly the young lady had a questionable past and also she did not show good judgment when getting involved with #24. Pero mira -- remember who is or supposedly was the adult?

Now, we could go down a long list of pro athletes that have disgraced their sport and their team by their actions but why waste good print on that. I believe that athletes should be held more accountable for their actions then José or William the common fan. I say this because unfortunately we as a society look up to these athletes; we are in awe of their talent and physical abilities. I am no different then you -- I have had my heroes growing up -- Kenny Stabler, Marcus Allen, Dan Issel and Phil Esposito to name a few. All of these athletes took pride in what they did, the game they played, the teams they represented and the cities they called home. It’s hard to find that these days in today’s athletes. It’s all about me and the dollar, pay me or trade me, can’t blame them for wanting to get paid, hell, I would if I could. But show some respect for your game and team and remember all the vatos pequeños that look up to you.

Bueno, Big Ben Roethlisberger is back in training camp, he also took snaps from the first team offense. The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback didn’t talk to reporters after practicing Tuesday for the first time since drawing a six-game suspension April 21 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

The penalty resulted from a Georgia college student’s allegation that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her in a nightclub, and though he does not face criminal charges in the case, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the quarterback’s drinking and carousing failed to meet the league’s expectations for player behavior, -- wow drinking and carousing. Why not call it like it ...
