My life has become way to involved in sports. Well, sports and diapers. Right now I can't do much about the diapers but I need to pull back the reins on football. I spent most of Sunday engaged in the sport. Between four fantasy teams, a few on-line bets and the artice I write recapping the best performances of the day, I am hardly able to just enjoy watching a game. The fantasy teams may be the most troublesome. Two of my teams lost yesterday and one won easily. But I need my kicker to get 12 points in the Monday night game for the Sunday Streakers to win. So although I have vowed to not watch any ESPN today I'll spend the day thinking about the eighteen different ways Josh Brown can get 12 points against the Raiders tonight. Something has to give.
Although the plantings in the Garden have been sparse lately, they too have been all about sports. That needs to stop too. Sporting events provide fine entertainment but there is a lot more to life. Of course, I still have to spend the next few days writing an article that previews every football game next Sunday. That's what has been taking up my writing time. That and changing diapers.
Even the Circling Buzzards have been taken over by sports. The latest death was Red Auerbach, the long time coach and owner of the Boston Celtics. He was worth 11 points for me but I'm still in third place by quite a bit. If I could just get Fidel Castro, Jane Wyman and Roy Horn to all die in the same plane crash I've got a chance.
I would like to promise to post more articles in the very near future. I have some pretty good thoughts on election day that I would like to get out tomorrow. But I can't make any promises. There are 14 NFL games next weekend and a lot of diapers to change before then.
