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.
