I've heard of ADD, but AAD?

PrintA very wise Buddhist instructor once wrote: "The greatest disease of the western world is anxiety about the future. When you are washing dishes, think about those dishes, and not about some thing you have to do in three days." Live in the moment. All the speculation and innuendo and reading of the chicken bones has got me flummoxed. We've just turned the calender into 2011, and we're already discussing the summer of 2012?!As I was reading a recent column about Dwight Howard POSSIBLY leaving the Magic, by Brian Schmitz from the Orlando Sentinel http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_magic/2011/01/magic-have-angst-about-dwight-howards-future.html, I tried to think if the same thing happened in the 80's or 90's.
I realize a house on fire is a better news story than the other 99,999 that are not, but sometimes it's all a bit too much.
If we win a championship this year or the next (or come very close), and Dwight realizes the best chance for him is here, he will stay. If we don't maybe he won't. I cheered for the "Cat Man", and Sydney Green, Jon Koncak and whoever. Would I like to see a championship-of course. But we should be worrying about Boston on Monday, and not free agency in 2012.
Of all the things that a beat writer could write about (Jameer-Gil, Bass-Ryno, etc), why does he choose this subject now?
By the way AAD= Angst About Dwight

Schmitz, Bianci, Diaz all write sensationalist type articles because no one would read what they have to say if they didn't.

Going a little Phil Jackson on us . . .
I like it.
Funny, but the only way to avoid all of this pointless hype is to make a decision not to click on the link, listen to the story, etc.
Haters gotta hate, and sports writers gotta generate.
And when there are this many sports “journalists” they have to create these stories. Create them, not necessarily report on them – because there aren’t enough stories to justify the existence of said-journalists otherwise.
Rec’d, nevertheless.
All of the best sigs are taken.
Exactly. Report the news, don't create it.
I also HATE when journalists say things like “Wasn’t that just an awful story?” Let me decide!
When you arrive at a fork in the road, take it. (Otis took it!)
