I'm sure he's not the only older player who takes time to make the decision to come back any given year...but he's the only one we have to hear about day after day after day.
I like the fact he can mock the whole situation on Sear's commercials. 
Seriously, I get sick of hearing the lead story every hour being "will he play or not!?!?"
There are far better stories they could be wasting their time on. |
The job of mass media is to entertain and keep you focused on trivial crap while real serious issues/problems are pushed back into obscurity. Fact is the 24/7 news/sports cycle is to blame. How much new crap can these stations put out every day, every hour? Not too much, thus they make their own news by "pushing" stories on their viewers.
