As I create more entries, I am sure that the focus of my content will broaden, but as of now I really only consider myself knowledgeable in a few things, sports or otherwise. One is fantasy basketball. I'm preettyyyyy positive I can recite the top 100 fantasy performers to you from memory any given week and give you some plug-ins and guys to throw on the Watch List. Unfortunately, everyone seems to think football is the fantasy sport of choice. To them I say: suck the dick. Why would you want just one day of fantasy action? Sure I've heard it all. Deerrrr, I have a 9-5. Deerrr, I have responsibilities. Deerrr, I don't want to check my line-up every day. You serious? Yahoo Stattracker is my homepage and NBA injuries and trades are what gets me out of bed at 2pm. 2 days a week of fantasy? Nah. 7, please. And I'd do 8 if I could.
Another topic I will dabble in are the teams I love and the games I attend. I'm a New York area guy that, just like all the fat Puerto Ricans, casual baseball fans, and hip-hop artists, loves the Yankees. I also love me some Knicks, Warriors, Celtics, and all NFL. I'm pretty much a free agent NFL fan. I'll lead with saying that I am not proud of my Yanks' fan base. Most of us are fuckers that sound retarded and have no knowledge of our team and only like the Yanks because it is convenient or the hat is cool. I like to think I am not that way. I suppose being the most successful franchise in sports will attract people like this, but I live with it just like I live with the 95+ wins every year. Lil give, lil take. While my fellow fan is usually a douchecock, I will say they are not as homogeneous as Red Sox fans. We are diverse, I suppose. Like Ivy League, incoming freshman class, diverse. Minus the brains. Plus a lot of minorities. What do you picture when you think of a Sox fan? I think of an Irish fuck with red hair or pube-y facial hair. They spend time in Cape Cod if they can afford it and suck on Ben Affleck's shit. They consider the PatsBsCeltsSox to be interchangeable and will wear as many of those teams logos as he can when he goes to a Boston sporting event. They say shit like 'the T' and 'You just BUY your players'. But that is for another blog.
While I would love to travel the country, go to games, and write sports for a living, the truth is I am a semi-employed recent college grad that does not work for ESPN. I do, however, work for YOUR United States government. And they send me places. But those are top secret. So I travel. And when I am in cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, LA, New York, Indianapolis, Milwaukee or wherever else, I like to go to games. So I'll tell ya what I see. But I wholeheartedly believe sports do not exist outside of the Northeast and LA. But I'll keep an open mind. Ya filthy animals.
The final thing I'll offer an opinion on, since I am sure you are sick of reading this mindless babble, is gambling. I will admit I have not been doing it long, but I like to think I do ok. I met a guy at a bar in LA recently that said if the NFL was played year-round, he would quit his job because he was so good at picking winners. Fuck that kid. I'd like to see some proof. Cus the NFL is an unpredictable piece of shit that is designed to fuck the gambling man and spread AIDS and despair. That's why you'll come here. To me. For winners.
There it is. Blog 1. Hope you liked what I..ah I honestly do not care. This is more for me than it is for you. I welcome comments and criticism. Seriously, I do. More to come.
