I mean hey, it may be Monday, I may be starting another week of the same repetitive shit for the 5th year in a row today (yep celebrating 5 years, probably get a piece of paper on my desk congratulating me today, I'll put that one in my special blue recycling filing bin), but at least I live in title town, there's always something distracting to read about in sports, right? Wrong, because I'm probably going to do everything I can to avoid ESPN and sports sections of news papers everywhere today.
Despite that 14th inning, improbable in a game Lackey (more on that asshat later) started, win last night, I have ZERO interest in reading about that team and their on going quest to erase the '78 Sox from the record books as biggest collapse and greatest choke artists in team history. It's like they're actively sticking it to me...its the last week of September, if you asked me a month ago what I'd be reading at work this specific Monday, I'd have probably mentioned figuring out how the sox could get their starting rotation in order for the playoffs...not dodging ESPN and trying to avoid the plethora of Dan Shaughnessy columns sure to come out of all this.
I'd also have probably said reading the recap of the Pats blowout victory over the Bills...which would have been accurate if the game stopped midway through the 2nd quarter, which coincidentally, is where most of the Patriot players assumed the game ended.
What a painful game to watch, a Defense who couldn't stop the local flag football team from driving on them, and an offense that operated more like Tavaris Jackson was leading the charge than current league MVP and all-world human being Tom Brady. I mean, it's the Buffalo Bills guys, I'm not going to relive the horrifying details, but safe to say, you know it's not going well when the Buffalo Bills lead a 95 yard drive on your defense, and the only two pressures your D gets on the quarterback all day lead to roughing the passer calls, which is a whole other rant for a whole other day altogether (lets put it this way, I have a feeling Belichick just tells the troops not to rush the passer in fear of penalties at this point).
