Ugh...seriously?

For the last time...AVRIL LAVIGNE IS NOT PUNK!!!! In fact, if it weren't for a wisely opportunistic vulture of a producer or agent, she'd probably still be a French Canadian country singer!

I know it doesn't mean anything yet

Starting the season 2-0-0 means nothing in hockey, but outscoring your first two opponents 9-3 over 6 periods of hockey, both on the road, and one of them being the defending Stanley Cup champion, is sure a heck of a lot better than the alternative...and lightyears better than the D-backs!

Twins Wins!

Grats to JDub, wherever he may be, on his Twinkies getting back into the post-season (although he should probably send Detroit a thank-you gift for making one of the most historic collapses in MLB history).

Just testing

My blog posts are supposed to also post to my Facebook wall automatically. I'm just checking if they are doing so or not.

A funny thing happened on the way to this post...

...and yet as soon as I sit down to write this post, the thought leaves my mind. Ironic since it's been over a year since the last time I posted. Ugh...dumb.

Simply the best

Brandon Webb.

Go ahead and try to hit his sinker. It drops straight down at 90 MPH. Good luck!

Love and Manhood, NFL style

Ron Wolfley, a 4-time pro-bowl running back in the NFL, recently became a daddy for the first time and ushered his daughter, Savannah, into the world. The event left him overcome with emotion, leading to this blog post/account of events. While the entire post is really neat and worth a read, I found a new respect for the man when I read this...

"I have always believed the true measure of a man can found in his capacity to love. I now know this to be true. There is no greater strength, nothing more virtuous, no greater motivator and no emotion more fierce than love. People will die because of it and sacrifice for others in the name of it.

There are those that will think I’m soft, that tears aren’t for men and love is somehow not cool. My reply is simple: step outside, cave-dweller, and find out why the Spartans fought so fiercely."

I have long believed that real men feel, and the strongest men feel strongly. While I suspect anger/hate is probably the strongest emotion, love is the *GREATEST* emotion you can feel and the greatest choice you can make, for the man that can avoid succumbing to the strongest emotion and instead love some something to that same extent is great indeed.

Best of luck to you and yours, Ron, and thanks for your perspective!
