dusting off the rust

Ritter Alumni BBall league starts next sunday (1/23).   The gym was open this morning though so Dave, Scott, and I went to shoot around and try to dig deep into our inner trenches and remember how to play basketball.  It seems like forever since I last played, which was last September.  I don't think we shook off enough rust, not to mention I was gassed after about 3 minutes of playing 2 on 2.  We'll see how an actual game goes next week. 

NFL Playoffs.  First and foremost, the Colts loss was very disappointing, although it was a great atmosphere and fun game to be at.  Watching the Steelers play the Ravens last night, I think it would have been tough to see us beating that team, but it would have been nice to get the chance. 

It's also fairly funny how things have changed in the last 2 years in regards to Colts feelings towards the Patriots when compared to the Jets.  Obviously 99% of Colts fans want NE to lose every time they take the field, but I think the resounding sentiment currently is that most Colts fans are starting to hate the Jets worse than the Pats.  It's just sorta weird to hear Colts fans say "I hope the Patriots kill the Jets"  .... but I think I'm with them.  It's just hard to hate Tom Brady anymore, you just gotta respect him (unless your Antonio Cromartie).

2-2 last week in the playoff bets.  Rough start to this round going 0-2 yesterday, bringing me to 2-4 in the playoffs.  However, still 29-16 on the year, so gotta keep it in perspective.  2-0 today would be nice....going w/ the Seahawks (+10) and the Patriots (-9).   I want the Bears to win, but hard to give double digit points to a team that scored 40 last week.  I'd love to see a Bears/Packers NFC title game, so lets go Bears!

Tax season is picking up - time to battle not becoming a hermit for the next 3 months.  On a positive note, IU won by 19 POINTS over hated Michigan last night!!  where the hell did that come from?

  1. Yeah the Jets are becoming one of the most hated NFL teams for sure. They're just...blech.

    Hey now. "Hated" Michigan?!? That's just sad. :(

    Good luck this tax season, and don't become too much of a recluse!
