So a corrollary of going to school in Maryland and having an entire half of my family in DC and the surrounding suburbs is that when the Eagles lose to the Redskins--which admittedly doesn't happen much, but happened last night--I hear about it plenty ( Read more... )

First of all, as the holiday song goes, it's the most wonderful time of the year! Bowl season, of course, and down to the wire for the NFL. Plus, college hoops and the NBA are in swing. Not too shabby ( Read more... )

First of all thank you much to those of you who called, hit me up on myspace, facebook, etc. to wish me a happy birthday. I definitely came into my quarter-century well. But IT AIN'T OVA! For those of you in Delaware and driving distance, Megan and I will be having our birthday extravaganza on December 23rd, 6pmish until. Details will follow ( Read more... )

Being a sports fan who roots for Philadelphia sports is often a one man game. It's watching one man excel and hoping that he takes your team to do the same. In football, it's Donovan McNabb. In basketball, it's Allen Iverson. While I'm not a Phillies fan, congrats to Ryan Howard for taking the NL MVP. Too bad his team wa still 12 games back in the ( Read more... )

So as I know y'all know, I've been serving as advisor for Lambda Chi Alpha here at UNCG for over a year now. Well, they chose to initiate me as an honorary member. So ya boy's a Lambda Chi ( Read more... )

A conversation between me and my little brother. For context, both James and I grew up in Wilmington, DE; James now lives in Philly. Not surprisingly, we're both Eagles fans. This conversation amused me because it's pretty stereotypical Eagles fan. The cliff notes are as follows: Eagles, Eagles, Fuck the Cowboys, Fuck TO, Gotta go, Eagles are on.

( What, you didn't believe me? )

I'm back from what was probably my most significant time spent in the deep south (Florida doesn't count; I spent some time in Savannah, but that's at least coastal). It was definitely southern from all angles. It was B'ham Alabama, obviously, and the South regional conferene of NACA, and even the students with whom I was traveling were some rebs. I ( Read more... )

Its Race Weekend in Dover, DE, which means that right now Dover is the largest city in the state ( Read more... )

But i'm not worried. It's preseason. Further, if we're going ot win it's going to be on McNabb's arm, so when he's only in for one series--a touchdown, I might add--it's hardly indicative of the season.

Good to see USF's own J.R. Reid back on the field again too.

I must say, I'm not particularly thrilled about this coming Super Bowl. I'da been happier if the Cats were in it, but obviously that's not the case. So my choices? Shittsburgh or Seattle (who?) I'm begrudgingly picking the Steelers, but let's look at the evidence for and against each ( Read more... )
