Tarnished Heros

That bright young President shot down in Dallas who turned out to be an addict and philanderer. And don’t get me started on our most recent former President and his insurrection. That hundred-meter sprinter who held an Olympic Record overnight until his urine tested positive. That cohort of steroid taking home run hitters who demolished Maris’ record and now in the Hall of Infamy. That Bills back who still holds rushing records but might well have got off Scot-free with murder. That person you though you would become who became the person you are.
