I want to tell you a story about my baby, my 2002 Saturn SL2.

I bought her used in 2004, she looked new, inside and out, even the Texas sun had not affected her light blue paint. She was sweet as candy. Her mileage to date had been mostly highway, so she loved to run on the big road and just purr like a kitten. She has been a good and reliable car all these years, after all she is 21 years old now and does not show her age.

She has lived her whole life in a college town and due to her ingenuous design and built with dent resistant side panels she does not have one single ding or dent on her vertical panels.

I was asked tonight if I had heard about the allegations made against the Aggie Football team of Texas A&M University and their head coach, Jimbo Fisher, I had not.

In fact, that question was the first I had heard of it.
The questioner then posted to me a link to an NBC Sports article.
Titled:

“Jimbo Fisher doesn't 'know anything about' report alleging NCAA violations, injury mishandling” written by John Taylor.

The first line of the article made me question if the piece was even serious:

“Not surprisingly, Sgt. Schultz showed up at the podium in College Station Tuesday night.”

I soldiered on and read the piece.
Now I do have doubts.
