Yeah...I throw at the big round thing between beers. I used to be on a team in a dart league..I believe we placed last but the beer was always cold.
I didn't dog Monster...in fact I told him good job on his accomplishments. I was just trying to defend the Globe a bit. They have one or two sports writers and very limited space. They print everything from sports stories on national interest (Royals/Chiefs) to local schools..and not just Dodge. (surrounding high schools) All I was saying that when they make a list of all the sports stories they could do...(and I'm sure a lot of them get left out) that mens darts is probably pretty low on the pole. That's not MY opinion that's just a fact. Most people would rather read about KU or Beasley turning or not turning pro than someone doing well in darts. That's just the way it is. That doesn't take away from his achievement. There are probably people that bowl a 300 once in awhile or shoot a hole in one but that doesn't get printed. There are a lot of high school sports achievements from our local kids that goes unreported or undereported also for lack of space. In an ideal world we would have a great big sports section and include everything from the National Championship down to who won the local turtle race's but in reality that's not happening. In case you overlooked what I said before..>GOOD JOB MONSTER...
