5 W's

WHO - Who makes the decision as to what goes on those blue highway signs that declare that certain businesses are close enough to the highway that it would be very convenient to get off at the next exit. Yesterday I took an exit off of 494 to find a Holiday gas station. I then proceeded to drive over a mile, and through at least 6 stop lights. So that Holiday had no business being on that blue sign. If I had known the drive I'd have to endure after leaving the highway I would have never gotten off. I mean all things considered I could have reached Seattle eventually but that's not on the sign.
WHAT - What is everyone's hard on for Randy Moss. Or am I just to biased to see the bad side of him. I mean this guy has played a hall of fame career, and holds the record for most touchdowns in a season. So why does everyone get on his case every time things aren't going as planned. I mean I'm sure he does take plays off, and doesn't give 100% each play, but who doesn't? We don't search and destroy every other player that does this. What about in baseball, I think it's similar to running out a routine ground ball, we don't castrate each player that doesn't give 100% going down the line.
WHERE - Where will Aaron Rogers get drafted in fantasy drafts next year? This will be the second consecutive season that he will finish number one as far as fantasy QB's go. But I've taken an informal poll amongst friends, and I haven't met a person that has said they would take Rogers ahead of Manning, Brees, Rivers, or Brady. I wonder why this is? Is it because he's a Packer and every person I've asked is a Vikings fan? Is it because he's in such a small market? I don't understand it.
WHY - Why does everyone think that the Phillies acquiring Roy Halladay is such a huge addition over Cliff Lee. I agree taht Roy Halladay is a better pitcher than Cliff Lee but by how much. Not enough in my opinion to give up 2 of their best prospects. Everyone keeps talking about Roy Halladay is going to clean up in the National League, and he might, but look at Johan Santana. He's been outstanding, but he won more Cy Youngs in the AL than the NL. My point is I just don't think that pitchers like Cliff Lee are appreciated as much as they should be.
WHEN - When is Tiger going to play golf again, and when will this all end. I previously wrote about my disdain for the Tiger saga. But it's impossible to avoid. I find it hard to believe that he is going to skip the Masters or any other major. The majors are what this guy does. And what does not playing golf do? What's it like at home. I've heard that they're getting a divorce, so why doesn't he just keep playing. Not only golf but the women side of things too. Bill Simmons wrote about this. But he should just continue to dominate the golf world, but start throwing the ladies down in each and every tour stop. So not only are the sponsors curious as to which tournaments Tiger's going to play, but the ladies are going to start looking at the schedule as well. Think if Tiger rolled up to each tournament with a lady under each arm, and got rid of Steve Williams, and replaced him with female caddy. My advice for Tiger . . . . Play on Playa.

Tim, I agree with you about Aaron Rodgers. He has been my QB and leading point getter the past two seasons and I am hoping that I can get him again next year.
