Los Angeles Lakers

I was sinking into the old, tattered, second-hand couch at my girlfriend’s place the other night, demanding… pleading… begging her and her roommates to “allow” us to watch something other than the titillating search for Paris Hilton’s new BFF. After some expert debating, (big shout out to 10th grade debate teacher Mrs. Posner) I was able to enforce my will to, not only change the channel, but change it to sports (translation: the six girls allowed the change based almost purely on the fact that their favorite gay guy/girl, Onch, had already been kicked off. TTYN.) One of the girls is from Los Angels and loves her Lakers, so if the channel was changing, due to the decibel of her voice, there was only one option. You should be proud and I should be happy, right? I was just able to complete the near impossible: getting six girls in their early 20s to change the TV from a show of girls and gay guys gossiping, yelling, drinking and being “fabulous,” to sports.

So I normally title my Monday blog: Monday Mourning due to being hungover from a full day of drinking and watching sports, hence the “mourning” because I have to get up, go to work, puke in the bathroom, and subsequently fall asleep in all of my meetings and get absolutely no work done. But today is different, mainly due to the fact that CBS’s and Fox’s regional coverage of NFL games in my area was HORRIBLE. Games that had a spread of +11 with no fantasy implications at all were being aired, so I went and watched polo (you know, the sport where guys on horses trot around and whack a ball with mallets). I had never been to a polo game before but we decided to go due to the possibility of attractive females (there are always beautiful women at horse events). We mingled with a few and made up some elaborate lies that we were just checking out the competition and had our horses stabled a few miles away. We were obviously out of place, with our cheers of “nice pass man!” and “shoooooot it!” but we wholeheartedly plan on attending it every Sunday for the rest of the season – pending what NFL games are on of course.

With the MLB playoffs set to begin, there is a subtle difference in the air compared to start of any other postseason. In the NHL, fans can potentially look forward to a great Canadians/Bruins series that is not only exciting, but has a historical kick to it. Likewise basketball fans always have the chance to see if the Suns can finally get past the Spurs and football fans love seeing the rivalry of the Eagles Vs the City of Philadelphia when the Eagles so much as get tackled for a loss.
