7 B.S. Sports Stories for When The Media Has Nothing to Say
You can pass off a cockatoo riding a bike on a tightrope as a news story, apparently, but you can't pass it off as a sports story, unless the cockatoo belongs to Cowboys tight end Jason Witten. This leaves sportswriters very desperate, especially during offseasons (and even during the regular football season) since there's an entire dry, terrifying week between games where there is really no relevant news to write about. This is what they come up with when backed into that corner.
