Yesterday, the day after the killing of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden, felt, to me, like a day in which sports were so trivial that, barring a major story like a retirement, an arrest, or a death, I could not find the inspiration to write about a sports topic. Sports, ultimately, are entertainment, albeit often interwoven with social and societal elements. Anything I could offer on a day-to-day contrast pales in comparison to the milestone victory of the Unites States in the war on terror.
Regardless, the world moves forward and it is back to business at The Daily Hat Trick. There were a handful of notables and quotables the world of sports. As always, the Hat Trick has access to the top secret Tweets and is sharing them with you!
Former Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe, in response to Tom Brady’s claim that he intends to play for 10 more years with the Patriots (which was in reaction to the Pats’ drafting of QB Ryan Mallett):
@GQ_QB12 Did Coach give you that whole speech about “grooming a backup just in case”? Welcome to my world. #Karma #FatherTime
