Everybody wang chung tonight!

I feel like talking about sports today. Feel free to join the conversation or something. I watch ESPN on a pretty regular basis. Obviously, it's the place to go to get any sports information, and it's always on. Plus, it's funny as hell. Stuart Scott might be one of my favorite people of all time. Pardon The Interruption is by far one of the coolest programs on air. And I think it's pretty safe to say that anybody on Sportscenter knows a ton about what's happening in sports. I've been told that me watching ESPN is slightly not normal. Which is really a shame because a lot of people could stand to watch some quality television, but hey. We can't help them all. As far as games go, I'll watch just about anything because it's all fun. Obviously, all games are a thousand times better when you're actually there to watch, but even when you can't be, it's still great to have some friends over and yell at the screen periodically. Me and my family, we're all pros at this. Especially when it gets down to important games - it's damn crazy in my house on those days. Teams I like: First of all, I am an FSU student, so the team has grown on me. Rix may be a moron, but when he has those rare moments of talent it is a truly beautiful sight to behold. Besides, the games are a blast. Game weekends are one huge party, and on actual game days, it's like all the rules are out the window. People park all over and you can always count on someone to bring the grill. However, it must be said that I am, before anything else, a major Buckeyes fan, and have been all my life. My parents were born in Ohio, went to school there, and obviously the love of the team has trickled down. Miami fans, sucks for you. ^_~ This means, however, that I am a part of all the best rivalries. How cool is that? Speaking of Ohio. The Cleveland Indians. Although I was loathe to admit it for awhile, seeing as they sucked, but things look like they're starting to turn around. Going to see them during Spring Training was always a blast, though. There's nothing better than sitting out there with your glove on one hand and a hotdog in the other. Later, you'd buy the ice cream in the little baseball helmets, and much much later, some much needed aloe for the sunburn you so lovingly achieved. That's the American Past-time, right there. And obviously, I am an Orlando Magic fan. We used to have season tickets (even though I didn't go to a lot of games because I wasn't even here for them), but this year we opted not to buy them. However, it'll be an interesting season - fresh blood. The starting line-up has been completely revamped, since we traded half our team with McGrady. But now we've got Steve Francis, Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, Hidayet Turkoglu, along with our regulars DeClercq, Garrity, Gooden, Hunter, and Stevenson. It could definitely be the start of something good here. I just hope to god that Grant Hill plays. And hell, who knows how long Shaq stays with the Heat once he's a free agent. I guess we'll just have to see. Yep.
