First Post

René Descartes once said, "I think, therefore I am." If he were alive today, that quote would probably read, "I think, therefore I blog." Don't worry, though; this isn't just another website full of amateur writing about over-discussed or awkwardly personal material. Instead, I've decided to devote an entire blog to something wildly entertaining and original:
Sports.

I figured... I enjoy sports. I have a lot of friends who enjoy sports. I find myself talking about sports with those friends, and with other people, many of whom are total strangers (after all, what good is the internet if you're not using it to interact with strangers?) And although it may seem unnecessary to start a blog about sports when there are an endless supply of them already out there, I'm hoping to put just enough of my own personal touch on things to make them readable and entertaining.

For instance: 3 of my favorite sports are hockey, soccer, and lacrosse. ESPN spends more time reporting from Brett Favre's yard in Mississippi than they do covering those three sports... combined.

Ultimately, my goal is for this site to be part opinion, part analysis, and with a little luck and persistence, perhaps even part discussion... so feel free to leave, read, and respond to comments.

I'll conclude the inaugural post with a solemn promise to never mention Brett Favre's name on this site again.
