Living vicariously through other is nothing new here.... we have become experts at it ..... accomplishments aside, alot of it is marketing.... thats where it gets scary. Everything from boy bands to razor blades we have the exact dimension of the demographics. How else could they afford to give Manning a record breaking contract??? How often do we really remember the guy who came in 2nd place? We certainly remeber when the Pats went undefeated the whole season and then lost the big one...... ouch thats too painfull still..... cant talk about it.? Yes we do love to cheer on the underdog... that is the struggle we all share. Fame is fleeting but the struggle is never ending. I'm with you David..... Go Saints. our obsession with greatness and victory to be expressed other than through obsession with individuals?
