"Imagine purple-winged snow dogs dancing on an enormous lily pad that quietly floats atop the murmuring Lake of Fortitude." Thus begins Matt's homage to fantasy football...trust us, you'll just have to read it for yourselves to understand (or not).

People are protesting conventions in New York, the Athens Sports Bonanza is kaput, and I’m writing sports articles again. Someone somewhere must’ve failed to right something. But that’s neither here nor there. Location-wise, your best bet is just looking below.

Dearest Maria, I saw you play three Saturdays ago on my television set. You beat Serena Williams 6-1, 6-4, and took Wimbledon. “Congratulations on your first Grand Slam,” Williams said to you, five years your senior, my little 17-year-old Siberian Hot Sauce Packet!

“There is something vaguely obscene about the sight of the Lakers in action, win or lose, and it ain't Kobe Bryant…they are lame and weak and pitiful.” “The Good Doctor” Hunter S.

Every once in a while, you just gotta hand it to a horse. Because every once in a while, the Kentucky Derby happens. And, finally, every once in a while, you just got say something silly-sounding like, “Smarty Jones.”

Rabbit season. Duck season. NBA Playoffs. NHL Playoffs. Whatever your preference, the fury of playoff season rages on during your work day.
Every Rose Has Its Raycroft

This is the tale of two young men, with striking similarities. Both quiet, and calculated. Both twenty-three. Both non-Americans (though one is French Canadian, so he‘s almost more of an “American B-side”).

After witnessing the lackadaisical 4-11 first half free throw shooting by the Yellow Jackets, I came to the half-time conclusion that Georgia Tech didn’t even deserve the trophy.
Cowboys, Jackets, Devils, and Huskies, Oh My!
