Bob Lobel: It's the Perfect Time to End the Olympic Games

By Bob Lobel (@boblobel)

No redeeming social value. 

It’s the perfect time to call it quits for this contrived event that has brought corruption, cheating, and death in the name of uniting the world behind the spirit of competition. If this was ever a manufactured event that was created to promote world peace and cooperation, the Olympic Games has run its course (pun intended). 

If there was ever an event that deserved canceling, it is this summer's Olympic Games in Rio. 

Don’t give me the crap about the athletes' tortuous training for the once-every-four-year event being justification for this farce continuing. This event, with lore of ancient Greece, was reinvented to bring the world together, making it a better and more joyous place to be. 

Oh yeah, that happened, huh? 

Bob Lobel: The Most "Unique" Figures in Sports

By Bob Lobel (@boblobel)

Plenty of things rolling around between the ears today, so I better throw out the thoughts before I forget them. 

Can we depend on the NFL to stop Wes Welker from playing any more football? Everyone seems to know it and see it but him and the people he plays with.  Plus, it really is difficult to comprehend Patriot fans booing him after the service he game them.

Not just service really, more like years of his life. 

That was a sobering moment at Gillette Stadium and hard to believe. It will be even harder to forget what a low-class move it was. 

The Greatest American Sports Figures

SuiteSports celebrates Independence Day with our "All American" team of sports figures we feel best embody the spirit of this great land. Happy 4th of July!

Muhammad Ali

Ali epitomized American culture in the 1960s and 70s more than any other athlete at any other point in our history. He was young, brash, anti-authority, unafraid to stand up for what he believed, and willing to (literally) fight for what he felt he deserved. He was unquestionably the most famous athlete in the world for almost two decades, and even if he didn't invent trash talk, he certainly perfected it.
