Husband and father, political junkie, sports nut, culture snob, knitting addict, mediocre Crossfit athlete, and wannabe polymath. Not necesarily in that order.

It is amazing how fun and exciting a 0-0 draw can be. #capeverde #tubaroesAzuis #FIFAWorldCup

I essentially never leave sporting events early. It’s just against my nature & what I believe my role as a fan to be.

However, just walked out of the Vanderbilt game because I couldn’t take how much fun their fans were having.

That sounds lame and is lame, but I want that FUN!

Over the last 30 years, the outfits football coaches wear on the sidelines have become ridiculous. The NFL should get rid of the licensed apparel requirement and let coaches wear suits. Or at least something that wouldn’t look more appropriate on an 8 year old.

Now west coast fans know how it feels to stay up late enough to watch the end of a regular length game in the Eastern time zone.
