I could not believe this headline. It's from UPI, a reputable news agency.
Their motto? "Over 100 years of journalistic excellence."
This story?
3 paragraphs, telling us - oh horrors - that Derek Jeter, short stop for the Yankees, has gained weight!
That's it! That's the sole purpose of this article.
If Jeter were fit, it would be news, of course. Here's a world famous athlete who has put on a few pounds! Scandal!
But Jeter broke his ankle about a month ago, so is not mobile.
But apparently he is daring to eat as if he were mobile, so he's gaining weight.
And this is news???

Let me clue you in, UPI reporter. Once Jeter's ankle is healed, he'll start jogging and lifting weights...and you know what - I bet that weight will come right off.
I suppose we can be happy that this story wasn't about Maria Sharapova or some WNBA star...so nice to see the news getting into a kerfluffle about a guy's weight for a change - but over all, really, this is just nonsense and a sickening trend.
