Syracuse wins lacrosse title, makes front page of NYT, and makes me realize that I forgot that sport still existed.

The other night at karaoke - yes, karaoke - a new friend expressed surprise that I had dated a football player in college. I was talking about sports, I think it was about playing dodgeball - yes, dodgeball - and said I thought that the only people who had fond memories of gym class were [...]

Well, if that wasn’t the damnedest game. . .

I’m still in shock from Sunday.
I cannot believe that they did it. The Giants actually managed to kick Tom Brady’s ass all over that field.
People can complain all they want about how boring a defensive, low-scoring game is (personally, I think defense is underrated), but it was great to see a montage of Brady getting [...]

Pats/Giants - The Rematch

OK, here we go.
I’ve got my beer stacked neatly in the fridge, a huge sack of Cheez-its snack mix, and friends coming over to watch me flip out at the screen.

Suck it, Tony Romo.
I’m always happy to see someone who is a little too cocky bite the dust. Call me an underdog supporter, but unbelievably, I am slowly being turned into a Giants fan. I’m simply ecstatic that Romo was bested, especially after blowing off to Mexico for a “Who cares if I have an [...]

I hate Tom Brady so much it makes my nose bleed

Well, not quite that much, but almost.
The man is smug. And too pretty. And left his baby-mama for a supermodel (with the mama ‘just’ a gorgeous model/actress, but not famous enough).
I went to school in the Boston area and my father was a die-hard Patriots fan. In my teens, I was on the 50-yard-line at [...]
