You know, having a blog like this means that I have a medium through which I can reach an audience (however miniscule). And that means that I can do what every human with a penis has done at some point in his life: I can tell you all about my meaningless opinions about sports!
The Devil Rays will go .500 this year. They’ll still finish third or fourth, but they’ll win over half of their games.
The Lightning will make it into the playoffs as a wild card but lose in the first round.
Much to my chagrin, the Buccaneers will go 7-9 because they lack an offensive line and special teams.
Kasey Kahne will finish first this year in NASCAR. Not because I know anything about NASCAR, but because his name is Kasey and he drives a Dodge. I get sentimental.
The Florida Gators will remain NCAA Men’s Basketball champions, at least until next year’s season starts.
Maybe someone in the country will realize that the NBA is ridiculous and that no one should watch it.
But seriously. See how you don’t care in the slightest about what I just said? See how my opinion, the thoughts of one inconsequential speck on the face of a seemingly infinite universe, will never have any effect on how the sports world plays out?
That’s always been my take. Which leads me to ask: how in the world do bozos like Jim Rome (yeah, I said it) and Stephen A. Smith (who, by the way, has not totally convinced me that he knows the English language) get their own shows on ESPN?
Isn’t three hours of Rome’s incessant blathering about how anyone who disagrees with him is an idiot enough? During any given radio broadcast, Jim Rome has what most scientist estimate to be 45 seconds of actual new information and opinions. He then repeats this. Over. And over again. And if you raise issue with one of his points, you’re an idiot. He then lets us listen to him make these exact same points WHILE you watch him on TV! How lucky are we?!
Anyway, the point remains: people’s opinions about sports don’t matter. And if you don’t agree with me, you’re an idiot.

By the way, your blog has two errors in it. One I already pointed out, see if you can find the other.

i hate to break it to you, but i myself know quite a bit about nascar
nascar:hot chrissy :: baseball:casey
but kasey Kahne won’t win and although my personal favorite is Brian Vickers, my bet is on Jimmy Johnson, go chevy!
and there is another casey who isn’t all that bad to be honest, Casey Mears, who also drives a dodge. And his name is actually spelled the same as yours.
You don’t have to thank me for the nascar update, but you can add it to the list of sports related furors for friday…
