21 Feb 2010The only time I’ve chanted USA! USA! USA! in the last couple of weeks was the other night at the bar when Jenni (USA) was arm wrestling Jumi (CAN). And that was only because I’d had a couple of drinks and well take any chance I can get to yell loudly in a bar. Other [...]
I got the following email from ESPN yesterday:
I don’t think I should have to list the reasons why it makes me want to punch babies (that’s my latest thing when I get mad), but it’s your lucky day, because I’m in a sharing mood.
The subject line of this email: Valentine’s Special — Give Your Guy [...]

1. Someone throwing up.
2. Someone making a complete ass of themselves on TV.
3. Dogs humping inanimate objects (or anything for that matter).
4. Digger Phelps (Clemson’s Men’s basketball coach) dancing to a Kelly Clarkson song:

28 Oct 2009For the past few months, I’ve been extremely obsessed with ESPN’s Streak for the Cash. I’m not at all great at it. And I think that’s a good thing. If I was awesome at picking the winners of all these different sporting events online without having to put down any cash at all, I’m sure [...]
I did some freelancing work tonight and ended up staying up later than originally planned. I was all set to go to bed and plan on finishing things up first thing tomorrow morning, but then I looked on the internet.
There’s a Woot-Off happening right now. I’m not really planning on buying anything, but the idea [...]
