By Scott Polacek:
It seems like I’m always thinking about sports. Whether I’m in class (rest assured, teachers don’t read sports blogs), out to dinner, or just hanging out, there’s a fairly decent chance sports is going to cross my mind at one point or another. I will not apologize for this. As Lady Gaga would say, I was born this way.
Which gets me to my point (wait, Lady Gaga got me to my point? Maybe I should have come up with a different point). I was watching the Grammys last week, or, as my sports brain would see it, music’s answer to the Super Bowl. At some point during the show I decided that I wanted to compare some of the stars in the music world to those in the sports world. I was so excited about this idea that I got around to it a week later.
As a forewarning, I know very little about music. Again, since I am always thinking about sports, there isn’t much room left in my brain for these trivial things. Seeing as how I really don’t have much more than a basic collection of musical knowledge, I am clearly the perfect person to write a blog post centered on musical stars and their sports counterparts. Here we go.
