This blog was picked last in gym class.
I’ve gone sledding on cafeteria trays, dorm mattresses, trash bags, my belly, toboggans, saucers, truck tires, inner tubes, and just about anything else that could slide down an icy hill. But none of them where as cool looking as this bad mofo …
Holey trip to the emergency room Batman that thing looks awesome! It only costs about 300 bucks 
Maybe Santa Claus will bring one for my son (a.k.a. me) this Christmas.
If this turns out to be true then I have a new team to hate in the NFL (it’s currently the Cowboys).
Lord Football has awoke from his long summer slumber to grace us all with the greatest game on Earth. I went to two football parties today and that means I ate my weight in chicken wings, chips and dip, pizza, and other football-related grub. I also put salt in my coffee instead of sugar tonight, but even that horrific experience couldn’t dampen my football groove.
Washington beat Miami and I’m currently winning in fantasy football (despite Deuce McAllister’s best efforts). A great start to the season. In celebration here is the football song from Wildcats. Enjoy.
It’d be tempting to call backyard wrestling the mulleted, inbred hillbilly cousin of professional wrestling but since professional wrestling is itself the mulleted, inbred hillbilly of the sports world that would be redundant.

Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson has been an NFL linebacker, crack head, jail bird, and million dollar lotto winner. What an amazing story.
Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards drops some knowledge about shark attacks.
So if you’re swimming in the water and a shark bites you, that’s called trespassing. That is called trespassing. That is not a shark attack.
A shark attack is if you’re chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that’s a shark attack.
Totally random and hilarious.
My son has really been into playing football lately. We have been going deep, hiking the ball, punting, and other fun football activities. He has even held a football teddy bear style a couple times before we put him to sleep.
The other night we had one of those bed times where the little man just didn’t want to go to sleep. As my wife hauled him off to his room for some much needed sleep I could hear him crying, “I want to go deep.”
Yup, he’s ready to watch some football with his old man this season. Although I’m sure somewhere in the first quarter he will want to turn Elmo on and with the way the Redskins have been playing I will probably let him.
A local paper did a story about the kickball league I play in. It’s mostly about how people from one county come to our county to play kickball, but it also does a good job of relaying the flavor of the game.
There’s the familiar red rubber ball with dimples, the format similar to baseball and the energetic cheering that goes with a good hit or a runner scoring.
There’s also the occasional whiff of cigarette smoke and more serious injuries – a broken arm and a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
This isn’t your childhood version of kickball and yet it is in many ways – a big reason an adult kickball league in Frederick County has grown substantially in its second year and has more than 70 people on a waiting list.
They also have some video from one of the games. Part of the video shows one of the guy’s crazy pitching style.
Tydings enjoys coming up with pitching deliveries to distract the hitter. Sometimes he bounces the ball or spins around before he rolls the ball to the plate. It’s not uncommon to see him run around half of the mound’s perimeter before pitching.
I’ll be breaking down the film all week trying to find a way to combat this! Kidding of course, although I may incorporate some of his moves into my own pitching style (usually slow and bouncy).
Faceball sounds like a really fun game. I’m sure it will be sweeping the nation soon.
Apparently all you need to do to throw a good frisbee is open your mouth like a goofball. It was finally warm today so we went to the park to play all day and snapped a bunch of pictures.
