So,
Thanks to my friend Adam I've decided to embark on one of these god forsaken blogs. I probably won't keep up with it, but stranger things have happened.
At any rate, quickly, while I procrastinate between going to the gym and reading articles about intercity crime: good riddance to Bret Favre. I have nothing against the guy, but the "will he retire?" talk has been going steady for the past 3 years and I for one don't care anymore and I'm glad he's hanging it up. For one, he caught lightning in a bottle this season. The Packers weren't supposed to have a home game in the playoffs. They were supposed to be home during the playoffs. There would've been a dropoff this coming season, and he would've been miserable, lamenting the fact they didn't get him Randy Moss again and the retirement questions would've started around, oh, week 7. So I'm glad he's hanging it up. He's broken enough of Dan Marino's records. Actually...damn near all of them.
As referenced in the title of this entry: Sean Avery. My boy toy. I love the guy. Have since before he came to the Rangers. And what to my discouraged eyes did appear a rumor on yahoo that negotiations have broken off between his agent and GM Glen Sather. The guy wants 3.75m a year for 3 years. The Rangers are apparently about a million short of that and neithe side is budging at the moment. He doesn't put up gawdy numbers (except penalty minutes) but he's got that intangible...he's a spark plug for the team, and if he walks, they're going to miss him dearly. The Rangers are something like 19 games above .500 when Avery plays. No-brainer. I just feel bad for all those poor guys that have shelled out hundreds of dollars for a big 1-6 on their Rangers sweater that will sooner than later be the subject of a Page 2 article (see: Vinnie Testaverde.) My buddy Drew and I have talked about this. We're no longer getting any jersey customized with a current player. It's hard to trade guys that are already retired. I own upwards of 15 sports jerseys, with at least 9 of them customized in some manner. If those 6, Brady Quinn and Ronnie Brown are still on their respective teams (editor's note: I do have a Ricky Williams jersey on Miami, but he doesn't count for obvious reasons.)
Seacrest, out.

Two interesting facts:
1) Didn't even know you had a blog. Now you have to write on it, because I'm reading.
2) Fancy you calling me a homer. Look who's shilling for his hometown ace. No shit he's the best, I'm just saying I want Lester for that one big game, that's all. In that case, it does help to be able to get more double plays, it bails him out of his self-made jams.
