what's going on? where am i?

Covenants not to compete in New Hampshire! Covenants not to compete in New Hampshire! Wait... waaaaiiiit. I'm done with that! I - I - I can now think about things other than covenants not to compete in New Hampshire! Uhhh... ummm... baseball. That's good. Another. Uhhh... friends! Yes, friends! That's right, I saw some this weekend! I remember! I had fun! Even when I played the role of resident crowd controller in the VT game/riot. Did I really do that? I thought I avoided confrontation wherever possible. I thought my flight instinct had a kung fu grip on my fight instinct (which is wildly ironic). So what was I doing telling multiple drunkards to STFU? Did I grow up or something? I'm sure it sounds like I'm bragging, but I swear that's not my intention. I'm genuinely confused. I don't act like that. Maybe the Bond movie (highly recommended) inspired me to be more pro-active in dangerous situations. Sadly, I'm serious. I dunno. Where was I?

(End incoherent rambling. Commence rapid fire aka coherent rambling)

If the Dolphins are ever the last NFL team to lose, do the '72 Dolphins still celebrate?

John Smoltz went from starter to closer to avoid injuries. Jon Papelbon is now going from closer to starter for the same reason. Maybe its just a change of pace thing.

How strange (or ironically appropriate) is it that Brett Favre's back-up couldn't go half an hour of playing football without breaking his foot and being done for the season.

The Reds' signing of Alex Gonzalez means, come April, Boston will have had five different starting shortstop in four seasons (others being Nomar, Cabrera, and Edgar).

I will be airborne in several hours. Obviously, I'm eschewing sleeping for tonight. Maybe I'll lie down for half an hour, but that's it.

I won my fantasy baseball league, I'm currently 2nd of 12 in my fantasy basketball league, I'm currently first in my fantasy football league, and I'm currently 1st and 2nd in my fantasy hockey league. (See, now I'm bragging).

Wake fans rioting. What has this world come to...

I don't think the Dolphins will ever be the last NFL team to lose. Really.

I think when you're young, it's safer to start but when you're older, you can prolong your career by pitching fewer innings. Just a guess.

Poor Rodgers. He's been waiting years for that chance, then he gets stepped on or whatever.

You said eschew. Ha. More like cashew.

My salary cap football team is in the top 5%. My other fantasy football teams... not as good. So apparently I can identify talent, I just can't wrench it from my opponents' hands.
