December 15th - 26-19

Stupid basketball. The Wild were supposed to be on last night, as they were playing Columbus at home. Rather, FSN shows me the Caballeros. The NBA used to interrupt my Benny Hill, now it interrupts my hockey. I have no time for the NBA. Only good thing that ever came of it was Kurtis Blow's rhyme: "Basketball is my favorite sport / I like the way they dribble up and down the court."

If a white dude had written that, he'd been laughed all the way out of Compton. But Kurtis knows how to sell it.

Anyway, time for the traditional victory photo:



Notice the missing pane of glass? It shattered! Thankfully, it was Tyutin's skate that knocked it out, not his head. I'm all for violence, but totally opposed to injury.

Did I mention that we won? We did. 2-1. Low shot affair. Half our shots were made in the first period. But Marek Zidlicky got the game winner with 40 seconds to go. The Wild are 8-2 in the last 10 games. Four other teams share that record, only one is better. Too bad we got off to such a horrible start, eh?

Came in second in the fantasy league. Playoffs are this weekend. I'd like to win, because I enjoy free Seahawks items. It'll be tough, though. I think I lucked into where I am now, riding on Drew Brees most of the way. I'll be losing his numbers, so it'll take plenty of creativity and luck to haul in a playoff win.

Incomplete pass.

Life's ball. 3rd and 14 on their own 20.
