Well the Baseball “second season” begins tonight, and of course the game I’m most interested in doesn’t air until 10:00pm Eastern time. :(
Seriously, isn’t there some sort of better “middle ground” than that? East Coast folks who want to follow the Red Sox have to stay up until 1am to watch a baseball game on a Wednesday night? I know the Sox are primetime material, but man, this is ridiculous.

4:15pm. Patriots Vs. Jets. Matt Cassel’s first start since 1999 when he started for Chatsworth High School. He’s played sporadically in the pre-season and in the regular season (when the game was already out of reach) but this is his first NFL start.
I have no idea how he’ll do, especially against a tough division rival like the Jets, but part of me is excited to see what happens this afternoon. The other part of me is terrified.

The rumor mill is already buzzing… Yahoo Sports reports that Brady is out for the year with a torn ACL, which seems to be the prevailing thought among players and teams. *sigh*

I couldn’t help it. My three-year old was sitting right next to me and the comment received quite the dirty look from my wife, but thankfully little Megan was immersed enough in her Duplo blocks that she either didn’t hear it or didn’t care enough to repeat it (for once).

“It was the third of September
That day I’ll always remember…”
- The Temptations, “Papa Was A Rolling Stone”
Of course, that’s where the similarities between this post and the classic Temptation song ends, but I had to work it in here somewhere. I like doing that with song lyrics that mention a specific day. (Really! Wait until June 6, better known as “Convoy Day.”) Read the rest of this entry »
