A few random thoughts concerning sports...
I was in Minnesota this weekend. A chance to get away from Titans football and watch a team with a different philosophy? Nope, the Titans were playing the Vikings.
The Cubs are a joke.
UCLA almost pulled another one out against a ranked team.
As I get older, the only team I live and die with is the Bruins. I felt it with the Lakers during their run last year. I hope it's still here when the NBA resumes. I kind of have the love for the Predators, but that comes and goes.
I really don't have an NFL team, and as much as I want the Cubs to win it, I can't say I'd be unhappy for the Dodgers.
I'm finding myself rooting for players and stories more than I root for teams. I would almost rather, actually, I think I can definitively say I'd rather Joe Torre or Ken Griffey Kr. win a World Series than the Cubs. Not that I don't want the Cubs to win. I really do. I would just love to see the Yankees eat their pride or an aging legend go out on top.
I told you the thoughts were random.

Well, now you've done it. How can I ever give up my seat to you at a Titan game when you've stated publicly that you don't have an NFL team??? And of all seasons for you to say that!!! : )
Love,
Mom
i think i could make a pretty strong argument that i love football more than you love the titans.
i do hope they do well. i just think they're boring.
while the fam squabbles about football i wanted to tell both of you that i just took my SEC humility pill; VANDERBILT bests AUBURN 14-13. VU 5-0 for first time since 1943; gotta love those record breaking Commodores!
your comment that you find yourself rooting for players stories is a shot in the arm, and defense for my similar response when people ask me why i pull for a particular team other that VU, I find I like Penn State, for instance, simply because I am drawn to Joe Pa. When the incredulous response (usually from a dereanged UT fan) is "why on earth do you like P.S. !? All I can do is shrug. I like him, he's Italian- all right alreay! (why am I posting at 2:30am?..good question..got a tenancious cough)
