Greatest Of All Time G.O.A.T.

Venus Williams, has one of the best serves in tennis, in my opinion. 
Her sister, Serena's serve is non-returnable, but I like Venus' nonetheless.

There are so many things on our mind, all related to body and soul as in rent, mortgage, hydro and pots on the stove. That’s why it’s difficult to keep up with external forces like the English language because it changes all the time. I only understood the acronym G.O.A.T. this year 2023. I kid you not.

It turns out it means: the Greatest Of All Time. Sports podcasts love it. They are always looking for the baseball, basketball and football G.O.A.T. I was never interested in what it means because of real goats that bleat while tied to a pole. It is a cry for help but they know it’s useless. They might belong to parents of a son who wants to marry a girl on the other side of the village. His parents will give them to her parents as an introduction, just an introduction of their son’s honorable intention. Watch Yemi Alade’s music video Double Double, if you want to know the plight of the African goat.

Podcasts’ preoccupation with the GOAT is an attempt at self-preservation. How? One podcast will say Terence Hill is the NFL GOAT. Other podcasts will agree or come up with their theirs, let’s say Popo Luke. The debate is the topic for the next four podcasts. Every podcast is goati-fied. What is bad, is that it might cause bad blood between the two players, if they are still alive.

Podcasts are good because most of them provide nuggets of information not in the public domain. Former players could not talk about certain things because of contracts and other signed documents. However, podcasts should avoid repeating commentary inherited from traditional media like television. They are free agents, capable of creating their own topics. They don’t have to be goati-fied.
