<p>I was forced to read a business book one time and one of its central theme was, "The Genius of the 'And', vs. the Tyranny of the 'Or'.</p>

<p>I choose, "And" for your question.</p>

<p>Here is another opinion survey.  Give your answers:</p>

<p>1. Saturday is a big day in sports:   The NFL draft continues, the Kentucky Derby is to be run. There is the fight in the evening plus both NBA and NHL playoffs (and regular season baseball).</p>

<p>So, what is your order of preference to entertain yourself?</p>

<p><strong>Don't really care about any of them.  If I had to choose, it would be the Derby because it is a one-and-done event.  I gave up on Boxing years ago when the dirt and mud became too much for me to stomach.</strong></p>


<p>2. What are the Cavs chances now that the fickle finger of fate has again been shoved up our ass?</p>

<p><strong>They weren't going to win against the West any way but, clearly, their chances of even getting there as less without Love.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Bottom Line: I don't really give a ship about the NBA</strong></p>


<p>3. There is more and more call for the DH to be used universally in baseball with year round interleague play and pitchers getting hurt in batting practice etc.   Should the DH be used now in all of baseball?</p>

<p><strong>Regardless of that baby pitcher for complaining about getting hurt, I believe MLB should be consistent across leagues.  IMHO, adding an additional batter in the NL will make their game more exciting in terms of runs scored.</strong></p>

<p><strong>I guess scoring runs is what it's all about.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Personally, I don't mind the pitchers batting but - in inter-league play, WS, etc.) it is quite a mess.</strong></p>


<p>4. So, women's basketball player Britney Griner goes Rambo on her girlfriend and is facing potential charges.   But you barely heard about it.  Should the media huff and puff and blow its house down over this girl on girl domestive violence the way it does when a male athlete commits a similar offense.</p>

<p><strong>Hard to huff and puff about ANYTHING to do with the WNBA.</strong></p>

<p><strong>I've seen the story in print but never cared to read about it.</strong></p>

<p><strong>PS On another note, we all know the media is sympathetic about those of Griner's ilk, so they - naturally - won't go crazy about it.  However, my first point is the key one, IMHO</strong></p>


<p>5. Do you think.....as I do....that this Mayweather/Pacquiao fight is the most overbloviated sporting event that has taken place in a long time?</p>

<p><strong>To me, it is the tree falling in the middle of the forest.  Wouldn't watch it for free</strong>.</p>

<p>1. Saturday is a big day in sports:   The NFL draft continues, the Kentucky Derby is to be run. There is the fight in the evening plus both NBA and NHL playoffs (and regular season baseball).</p>

<p>So, what is your order of preference to entertain yourself?</p>

<p><strong>Don't really care about any of them.  If I had to choose, it would be the Derby because it is a one-and-done event.  I gave up on Boxing years ago when the dirt and mud became too much for me to stomach.</strong></p>


<p>2. What are the Cavs chances now that the fickle finger of fate has again been shoved up our ass?</p>

<p><strong>They weren't going to win against the West any way but, clearly, their chances of even getting there as less without Love.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Bottom Line: I don't really give a ship about the NBA</strong></p>


<p>3. There is more and more call for the DH to be used universally in baseball with year round interleague play and pitchers getting hurt in batting practice etc.   Should the DH be used now in all of baseball?</p>

<p><strong>Regardless of that baby pitcher for complaining about getting hurt, I believe MLB should be consistent across leagues.  IMHO, adding an additional batter in the NL will make their game more exciting in terms of runs scored.</strong></p>

<p><strong>I guess scoring runs is what it's all about.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Personally, I don't mind the pitchers batting but - in inter-league play, WS, etc.) it is quite a mess.</strong></p>


<p>4. So, women's basketball player Britney Griner goes Rambo on her girlfriend and is facing potential charges.   But you barely heard about it.  Should the media huff and puff and blow its house down over this girl on girl domestive violence the way it does when a male athlete commits a similar offense.</p>

<p><strong>Hard to huff and puff about ANYTHING to do with the WNBA.</strong></p>

<p><strong>I've seen the story in print but never cared to read about it.</strong></p>

<p><strong>PS On another note, we all know the media is sympathetic about those of Griner's ilk, so they - naturally - won't go crazy about it.  However, my first point is the key one, IMHO</strong></p>


<p>5. Do you think.....as I do....that this Mayweather/Pacquiao fight is the most overbloviated sporting event that has taken place in a long time?</p>

<p><strong>To me, it is the tree falling in the middle of the forest.  Wouldn't watch it for free</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>NFL draft. Zero interest in horse racing or boxing.</strong></p>

<p>2. What are the Cavs chances now that the fickle finger of fate has again been shoved up our ass?</p>
<p><strong>Better.</strong></p>

<p>3. There is more and more call for the DH to be used universally in baseball with year round interleague play and pitchers getting hurt in batting practice etc.   Should the DH be used now in all of baseball?</p>
<p><strong>Rules should be the same wherever you play, but not saying DH should be the rule.</strong></p>

<p><strong>They are the two undisputed top-of-the-line in their sport/weight class. For those interested, it's a huge deal - I'm just not.</strong></p>
