I'm in my office drinking coffee. I should be working on my dissertation defense, but I'm so tired I can barely stay awake at my desk. So lots and lots of coffee.

There has been a lot of big news in the sports world this Monday. Tigs in first, Penn State, Fitz, Nash to NYR. A lot to take in, making for very, very little productivity today.

Luckily I will be downing some Natty Lights prior to beer league softball in a couple hours.

But there will be a lot of beer at some point this evening. Got to work out and go down to my leasing office, then it's all fun and games from there. Yes, I have a very hard life during the summer.

Today has been terrible.  I have a case of Yuengling Light waiting for me in the fridge.  I will be drinking #alloftheYuenglings. 

Cheers.

Holy Fock Julian.  I just jumped online to see all of this.  Oh my, oh my.  I will start throwing a few beers back earlier than expected.  Drunk volleyball this evening instead of buzzed volleyball.  Slipping into a moderate depression....

It's my birthday, which you would think is a good day--not so. It's Monday, I woke up sick, I have to work late, and now I am hearing about this sadness. This is my whining rant.

I'm praying that this Dempster to ATL for Delgado trade goes through. Also hoping that Garza goes to the Dodgers for Lee. Could be a huge day for the Cubs looking 4 years down the line.

Thanks for the heads-up.  We will wait and find out I suppose.  Randall has lots of upside I think.  It's hard to tell sometimes with these young players.  Some make it, some can't quite find it and don't pan out as well as expected.  Delgado definitely has the tools to make it; again, it's wait and find out over the next few years.  I'm still holding out hope he's a Brave by the end of the week!...

After the last several threads, I am seriously considering opening one of the Chateau Lafites (maybe the 1975) when I get home (I inherited a stash,  some of which I do  plan to bring to a tailgate this year, if anyone is interested). Between two meetings in 85-degree saunas downtown and the news about Fitz and Clark, it seems only fitting to break into the rainy day stash.

Well I was enjoying a hot round of golf drinking water and gatorade.. Then I decided to open the mgoblog app to see if anything interesting had occurred, and I find out about all of this.. Needless to say I bought some mountain dew at the clubhouse and broke out my Three Olives vodka that was in my golf bag to drink my sorrows away.. On the plus side, I finished with three straight birdies.

that I made for my 3 1/2 year-old granddaughter when she and her mom stopped by today.  After they leave, then I'll reach for something stronger

What a crazy day . . . 

  • PSU penalties go down,
  • My copies of Hail to the Victors & t-shirt arrive,
  • Fitz is arrested for drunk driving, and
  • Clark is arrested for home invasion.

I am reminded that this game of football is just that:  a game. Mistakes happen everywhere, including Michigan. No one is immune.

Orange juice at the moment, my favorite non-alcoholic beverage. Probably going to put back a few Hoegaardens once it gets a little later. Sweet Schembechler, this better be the last bit of bad news for the day.
