Not exactly the most exciting of times right now is it? We got the Super Bowl match-up we wanted, well at least the one I wanted, and now it’s on to the waiting, two weeks of excruciating waiting. During this time we’ll learn everything we always wanted to know about the Saints offensive line but were afraid to ask, plus what kind of shoes each kicker wears. No angle will go un-covered.
So let’s hit some other quick topics while we’re here.
** Loved watching Brett Favre implode. I asked this question to some colleagues at work. Let’s say you’re in Vegas and are prop betting. How much would you have put on “Brett Favre will throw an INT in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter?” I said at least $50, maybe $100. We were trying to figure out what the odds would be, and I can’t think it would pay better than 3-to-1.
** There are some stories that just never would have happened 20 years ago, and they almost always sound a lot like Greg Oden having naked pictures of him leak on the internet. Ahh, the internet.
** Baseball’s only a few weeks away. Can’t wait, for pitching and defense.
** I’ve been working on a Cody Murray story for the paper on Friday. I’m rooting for that kid to heal and play again. Had a conversation with a copy editor at work who thinks its crazy that he’ll try to play sports again after his knee injury. I told her she just didn’t understand athletes. “It’s in his heart,” I told her. “You can’t make that go away, you have to at least try.” She said she understood, but still thought it was crazy. Maybe it is, and that’s part of what makes it worthwhile.
** I still find it ironic that I love the game of hockey, but hate hockey rinks. I’m just saying, it’s kind of weird.
** I was all for the excitement that swept through MA the last couple of weeks for the Scott Brown run to the senate. It was a great story, even if you don’t like his politics. What I didn’t like was that WEEI became a political station for about a week. I tune into sports radio to hear about sports, not the senate race. On top of that, I really hated that they fired Pete Sheppard last week, he was the best part about The Big Show. He’s also a big friend of the Cape League’s, and I’m hoping he’ll be back a the first pitch brunch this year.
** You might remember that I wrote about my friend Charlie Hibbert, who died a little over a week ago. I’m happy to say that a group of us got together during the NFC Championship game to trade Charlie stories and toast him at halftime. With phone calls at halftime we were able to get 8 of the 11 remaining guys together for it. We also promised to make getting together as a group a more important thing in the future, and I think we’ll actually do it. I hope so.
