The Pecan Park Eagle

“Give me some strokes for my new maturity, folks!”
– Johnny Manziel

The NFL season ends with the Super Bowl on February 2, 2014. Then, from February 3, 2014 onward, all live sports talk radio shows are not about the NBA or the upcoming MLB season. The  only question that now keeps coming up is: “Will the Houston Texans take Johnny Manziel with their first pick in the 2014 season draft on May 8, 2014?

“Strokes? I’ll give you some strokes!”
– Vladimir Putin

Our Pecan Park Eagle questions are these:

1) Is Johnny Manziel, or the first pick in the NFL draft, more important to fans than either basketball or baseball?

2) Does  the apparently no-longer-so-wide world of sports really need a little over three months to think and talk only of what is going to happen to Johnny Manziel?

3) What happened to seasonal interest in the Rockets and Texans? Was their incredibly blundered TV plan so fatal to fan interest that its killed fan interest among those who can still no longer see their games on TV?

4) In the Astros’ case, have they simply so buried themselves so deep in losing that fans no longer believe in their comeback plan?

5) Will this subject-fixation on Manziel be the death of talk radio? – Or will a steady diet of the same food source have the same impact on radio talk shows that it does upon cockroaches? – Will it simply cause them to multiply and crawl all over the wide world of electronic broadcast and contact media?

6) Has the end of the world already arrived – and simply slipped by my normally agile and alert mind? – Or is the Manziel radio fixation simply a form of purgatory that the sports gods have vented upon us in a fit of boredom and wrath over the incredible ability of the many who buy into it as the only important subject in the world?

7) What about Vladimir Putin? – Is anybody going to draft him as the best wide deceiver in the world?

8) What do you think is wrong with this picture?
