After getting the link from Claire to her brother Dan's blog, I've become addicted to reading it. It's funny (or sad?) because although I've said hi to him (I think?!) a few times, I definitely don't know him. But everything he says makes sense and I really do laugh, understand, and thoroughly enjoy virtually all of it. Claire is right, I think we are a lot alike. Anyway, here's my point with this, I saw this linked from his page, and have spent countless hours (unsuccessfully) trying to figure it out. Go ahead, I dare you to click it for yourself and see how long YOU spend on it.
So to recap: I can't figure out a puzzle I found from a blog I read about in my friend's brother's blog (a guy I don't even really know), my bracket sucks, and I'm giving up sports for soccer (yes, I meant to put it that way). And I think I'm going to take it a step further. Not only will it be soccer, but it will be EUROPEAN soccer. Email/IM with any suggestions on which team/players to root for.
At least my brother's baseball team (GJHS) won today 16-7 over Rangeview to improve to 4-0 on the season. Ryan's line: 3-4, 3 R, 2 2B, 4 RBI. His stats through four games: 5-12 (.416), 6 R, 2 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 7 RBI. One more game here in Denver (against Skyview) tomorrow morning at 10:00 and then it's back to good ol' GJ (and a chance for me to see some of my friends that are FINALLY home).
One last note (could this be any more ironic?): as I'm typing this, a team of girls staying on my floor just walked by. Guess what sport they play? Yeah, they don't play a sport, they play soccer. Will I be going out to talk to them tonight (would I have anyway?), I'll let you figure that one out. Although I guess it could have been worse, they could have been a girls' team full of basketball players (being short is one thing, but being the shortest person in a group of 14 girls is just terrible). Alright, that is all, I think I'm going to go make myself feel better by doing something productive, like reading "The Sports Guy's" running NCAA diary on ESPN.com's Page 2. Until tomorrow....

wow, I feel like a celebrity.
so, thanks to your comment, I finally got introduced to your blog. Nice little ship you got here. (evidenced by the fact I went this deep into your archives reading it all).
well, I confess I didn't read all the quotes, but the basketball stuff, especially the dook hatred -- that's just great. I actually like Arizona for whatever reason, so you can be my west coast fix. I'ma add you to my permanent links -- keep up the ridicule of all things dook (they really are that despicable) and you'll have some regulars ;-)
and you know me, dogg. I've talked sports with you before -- and you qualified as not being a dumbass, which is impressive considering my high standards (save for the LeBron fiasco, where I don't ask much.
