UK heading to the Final Four!

Break in the nfl lockout thread today... The most important thing to take away from this week is simple. The Kentucky Wildcats are back in the Final Four. 'Nuff said.

Heart: The NFL Lockout, Part 2

After public humiliations and the court shouting illegal activity, the owners finally had a change of heart, right? Wrong. The owners responded by shrugging off the court ruling, as if an intern was merely suggesting a change of surgical strategy to the head of cardio-thoracic surgery. The owners know what’s in their chests. How dare the court tell them they are mistreating their fellow human beings, as if the court knows what is best needed for the players and owners. The owners aren't content. Don’t the courts understand that? The owners, they need more money.

Heart: The NFL Lockout, Part 1

I’m starting a theme based set of entries with this post. This is the first entry in a series of posts on one topic. Heart. This week’s post will apply heart to the NFL and the failed labor negotiations. Because there has been so much news reported on this topic for the past week the post will be broken into sections. This is Part 1 of Heart: The NFL Lockout.

What will be the biggest storyline of baseball 2011?

The inability of the St. Louis Cardinals to sign Albert Pujols to a future contract dominated headlines even before the first spring training games. Pujols asserts that neither he nor his agent will discuss the situation during the season to avoid possible distractions. However, the multitude of potential scenarios will extend dialogue surrounding his future even though Prince Albert isn’t chiming in.

About Me and Why I Love Baseball

American journalist, Bruce Catton, stated, “baseball is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America.” I fell in love with baseball during one of these discussions. Growing up, conversations between my father and I were rigid, impersonal critiques of my batting stance, my follow through and the incessant reminder to keep my eye on the ball. I quickly resented the hours spent in my back yard swinging away at soft tosses and continuously chasing after fly balls. Baseball and my father were simply making my young life miserable.

Revamped Blog - Sunday Sports Segment

I have decided to revamp my blog. I have not written in this particular blog in four years and feel a fresh perspective is needed to engage new readers, new thoughts and new conversations. I have left a few remaining posts from the previous blog, "As Time Ticks Life Away" as a reminder of where I've been and what paths my thoughts have traveled. The purpose of that blog was to act as a form of reflection, introspection and contemplation. The new, updated blog will be drastically different. I am combining my two favorite topics, sports and communication, and using this blog as an outlet for musings, analysis, speculation and debate on the latest sports topics throughout the year.

Psychic

I graduate in 23 days. I'm happier than words can express to get out of this limited, depressing, nauseating place. I'm exciting about leaving but I'm not really sure where I'm going. It's like I'm getting ready to take a journey without a map. The itinerary is blowing in the wind just above my reach. If only I had super powers and could see into the future. If I could see what my choices were and the outcomes of each of them, then I could make a decision that would hopefully leave me happy. Alas, I have no super powers to see into the future. Maybe if I was taller...

I clicked on uk and it took me to another page that gave me a few options but the main one was click on the name of the school and the application comes up. I moved the arrow over the name and......

Notes: 22 on 22

I have been the wonderful age of 22 for a grand total of 1.5 days. I haven't written in this blog for a grand total of about 1.5 years. In honor of the year long drought of journaling and the recent celebration, I've decided to contemplate and note 22 thoughts that cover the last year and a half. This way, I'm all caught up and can start new and fresh next time I write, which hopefully, will be sooner than a year away.
