I haven't posted here in over a year, and I'm okay with that. I don't know how often I'll post here, but right now, I'm feeling it. Whereas all the major sports outlets are furiously masturbating on early and kinda weak NFL season, the Rams are Linehan-bad, so I've got nothing to add there. I think it's an affront to all thinking people to spend most of the sports airtime talking about the NFL

Today's weigh-in: 272.6 (down a lot, maybe 33 pounds?) Disclaimer: I'm not a medical professional or any kind of weight-loss, diet, or exercise expert. I'm simply succeeding at losing weight. I haven't posted here in a long time. I've been hyper-focused on some things, which is good and bad, but something I realized is that blogging is good for me. There's healing in the sharing or some such

Today's weigh-in: 297.8 (2.6 pounds down from last week) The Cardinals It's amazing to watch very smart sports writers opine that we're going to see how much the Cardinals regret not getting Oswalt signed. I wasn't aware that our starting rotation was in need of another starter. Two bad starts for Lance Lynn does not a reasonable sample size make. Chill the fuck out, guys. Where we were

Weighed in today at 300.4 pounds, which means I dropped 5.6 in the last week. Yeah, that's a crazy amount of weight to drop in the first week, but I've got two things for you. 1) if you're fat, and you suddenly switch to a good diet and exercise, you drop a shitload of weight real fast for the first 20 or so pounds, then you have to start grinding it out like all the normies. 2) if you're fat

This is sports-related ... more or less ... Like a lot of extremely sexy men, I'm fairly overweight, and am tired of having to carry all this extra weight just to give the ladies more at which to look. For too long have middle-age men maintained a bulbous shape just so that women find us attractive. It's extremely unhealthy, too. What a lot of guys don't realize is that being overweight for

So, I was tempted to contribute to the Titanic-like panic that has taken hold of the worst of the Cardinals' fans, but I decided to stand firmly with my non-idiot brethren (the majority of Cardinal nation), and understand that baseball is a game of numbers, and mostly averages, so this being a 162-game season means that we're probably just fine. It has been interesting to see a very solid

As a teenager, before the internet had really taken hold, the cringe-worthy east coast bias that is so prevalent on ESPN and the networks was tolerable. The Cardinals were going through a dark time. We had no football team. No one who can read gives a shit about hockey. Then, as I aged, the internet became a 'thing,' and eventually became the focal point of the universe. Harnessing the new

I don't watch NHL hockey. I don't follow it in the paper or on ESPN. The little bit I know about it is from the snippets I hear before I fast-forward through the hockey bits on Around the Horn (still the best sports show on TV, by the way.) I'm aware that Sidney Crosby is the Greg Oden of the NHL. I know that his rival plays in Washington. I'm aware that Canadians and Soviets love the sport. My

soundtrack - the end of this weekend's PGA action and the end of Heat vs Knicks First of all, welcome to my sports blog. I'm going to try and get something out here each Monday, and maybe some quickies here and there on other days. I imagine that this will be midwest-centric, but I'll talk about some national stories, too. I'll also talk a bit about youth coaching, which is something I've
