This will be interesting..

I enjoy doing "man stuff". I like hanging out with the boys. Having a cold beer and playing cards, but not your average nursing home grandma's game of Gin Rumme. I like playing "MANLY" games like Blackjack, Texas hold'em. I like my steaks the same, texas big and "MANLY". That steak has to be cooked on my "MANLY" charcoal grill and not that sissy gas grill. I will even wrap that steak in bacon to make it more "MANLY". I change my oil and rotate my own tires. I wake up at 4 am to go hunting(sometimes). I have to use spell check when I use word.

I needed that opening paragraph for this blog to establish my machoness. You have to be macho to give your opinion on sports. You can't get manicures. You can't carry a "man purse". You can't order anything from Starbuck except for coffee bold and black. It just will not work any other way. Can you take my opinion on Ray Lewis or Deter Jeter seriously if you catch me walking at the mall with a mocha pumpkin spiced latte in one hand and in the other the dreaded man purse? The answer is simply no. But fear not for you will not see that from me.

A couple of recent events have made this blog possible. One is the recent events surrounding a certain St. Louis Slugger that everyone my age looked up to and respected when we were younger. The other event is a certain coach that is now the head coach of USC. Remember this blog is only my opinion and it may not be the most popular opinion. It may even rub you the wrong way at times. But I do hope you enjoy reading it. I will update after we find out who Mike Hamilton is going to hire to sing Rocky Top for the next year(that is 14 months if you are Lane Kiffin).
