The world is still spinning properly

Next to the $33 million, third-string quarterback in Denver, the only other quarterback getting so much attention for doing so little at this time of the preseason is that guy in Minnesota -- you know, the "can't make up my mind if I want to retire" guy?
Guess that means more breathless coverage of people flying to somewhere in Mississippi, watching said quarterback show up in camp, attending his first meeting, tying his shoes, tying someone else's shoes.
There's an axiom in journalism that says, rather simply, the fact you have access to something doesn't mean you should use it.
This charade is pretty intentional, and it's getting real old.
