Mike Fisher has a tremendous set of values and if my boys were to have a role model who was a professional athlete, Mike is the kind of guy that I would hope that they would look up to.
Carrie was sitting about six rows behind us in the box at last night's game with a bunch of security. I hope this works out for them, she seemed pretty concerned during the third period scrum when Fisher was tackled from behind.
I think many of us thought this of that other guy about a month ago. How about collectively, we don't put these people on this kind of pedestal and not foist fairy tale expectations on them in the first place?Quote:

I think with Fisher, it would be a safe bet to look up to him. Ottawa is a small town (with extreme small-town syndrome), so anything he did that even smelled of impropriety would have been exposed and talked about ad nauseum. Fisher has been here for many years...I don't think there's much chance of him "falling."
My point is that it is unwise to foist anyone up on a pedestal, regardless of how great they are, or seem to be. I am not questioning how good a guy Fisher may be, just in general that it is unfair to put anyone other than a parent in the position of role model.Quote:

Agreed that it is inevitable, but we can only blame ourselves for the folly of false idolitry. Celebrities, such as Tiger, merely exist to entertain the common man, such as myself. When wrongly placed upon a pedestal, all will eventually take a fall.Quote:
