Liveblogging NCAA Football
In an attempt to prove that college football is boring or, in the alternative, establish that I am wrong in thinking that college football is boring, I am going to live blog the Colorado/Colorado State football game, which starts in approximately 10 minutes. I think. If I can figure out how to do this.

Pats Cut Lynch, College Football is Boring
Sorry I’ve been about as thrilling as college football lately (which is my way of saying NOT EXCITING AT ALL — shit, I don’t even want to watch my team win 43-3). I think I’m having a bit of excitement hangover. The Olympics were exciting and having the DNC in town was exciting and now there’s just, um, Republicans and college football, which are boring. I wrote about how college football is boring and irrelevant last year, and I’ve already had all the same thoughts again this year.
Of course, there’s baseball, and my Sox are hanging on to the tiniest of leads in the A.L. Central, so that’s good. Did you know that during today’s win over the Red Sox, Jim Thome hit home run #536, tying Mickey Mantle (14th place)? I love Jim Thome. I’ll have to write about the Sox this week. I hope we’ll see Jerry “Watch My Feet” Owens on the expanded roster.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that the Patriots cut former Denver Bronco John Lynch. They might pick him up again in the future, but who knows. I’m bummed for him, because I like him and he wants to play. However, I’m a relieved that we won’t have to see a former Bronco playing for the Evil Empire.
What to Do in Denver in One Word
From what I’ve been reading on these here internets, the yuppity VIP DNC parties aren’t all that — there’s a lot of waiting in lines, crappy liquor, swag that isn’t quite phenomenal, and snobby attitudes. Well, visitors to our fair city, fear not. I am here to tell you about the best thing to do in Denver.
My Latest Great Idea for the Nuggets
Basketball hasn’t exactly been the first thing on my mind these days. I watched Lithuania get dismantled by Argentina (WTF hair?) in the Olympic bronze medal game and then drank myself unconscious to forget the misery I just witnessed. That was awful, even considering how much I love yelling all the Lithuanian names until B gets annoyed and falls asleep on the couch. Other than that, though, I haven’t thought much about basketball lately.
But! I had the best idea ever — an idea that can solve at least 2/3 of the problems that will plague the Nuggets in the upcoming season. Curious? Come with me, to a land where a Nuggets championship is possible!
