Football season is underway friends!!! unfortunately, since most bears games start around 2 am on mondays here and i have to wake up for school by 7, i'll be missing most. primetime games will be my savior though. and if the bears are any good (although i am still very doubtful), i'm sure i can find some days to sacrifice sleep for a competitive game. and tuesday morning football is the new monday night football.
not that anybody probably cares, but my first season participating in fantasy sports came to a fiery end as my number 3 seed baseball team got upset this weekend. i never played before, because i couldn't stomach the thought of cheering for a player against my beloved teams. in review, the pros outweigh the cons. while i was always an expert on my own teams, playing fantasy made me a geek about the whole league, and i love it. i desperately love football, but my love for baseball runs just a bit deeper. and my first fantasy season felt like an explosive love affair with my national past time. ***and the astros crawled from the NL cellar to 3rd place in the division. they don't get any national love (downright disrespect in fact considering what they've done), but i've been raising my glass weekly to my boys in houston. you're a scrappy bunch; i'm proud of you.
not much basketball news. kevin durant took the summer of lebron and eclipsed him. good job. although i can't say anything that bill simmons hasn't already said in his most recent column. i got a surprise these last few weeks by finding out i'll be in chicago december 19-24 before going on a family vacation. i did not expect to be home before june, but there's 1 game in that time span the bulls are in town (21st vs. 76ers). i plan on being there, so should you. talk to me if you're interested. (derek, neil i'm banking on you two)
no, i'm not forgetting about hockey. the blackhawks are at home during my chicago visit as well (22nd vs. Predators). i may have to make it back to back nights at the UC. also, countdown to kyle beach is on.
i am in macau, and at the aforementioned roadhouse, i watched the new zealand all blacks pull out a late match win over australia in national play. i may start playing rugby here soon.
