Businessman or spammer I knew that after leaving a very successful professional football career Fran Tarkenton set himself up as a businessman and led seminars for other businessmen Little did I know that one day I would receive an email from him How did he know my email address What could a legendary football hero have to say to me How can I help Fran Tarkenton So I hurriedly and expectantly opened the email from this legend of a quarterback and found to my dismay typical spam offering me an opportunity to purchase a report that will reveal the hidden information behind seminars This was not legendary football hero kind of spam just your everyday normal annoying spam sent by a spambot to millions of unwitting email addresses stored on a CD and purchased from a greasy looking fellow in a back alley Thank YOU Fran Tarkenton for getting my hopes up and knocking them right back down like a linebacker who was just informed of indiscreet sexual relations between his mother and the opposing team s punter Thank YOU Fran Tarkenton for the offer to buy some truth from you The world needs less hype and more truth although the world could do without any more spammers Thank YOU Fran Tarkenton for helping me differentiate between the hype and truth about Fran Tarkenton The hype is that you are a legend the truth is that you are an annoying spammer
