"Hey Sporty! You got the scoop?"

So it’s been a while since I wrote anything.
Sue me.
I haven’t had anything that I feel I have had to contribute in a while. Nothing has inspired me to focus on anything. I haven’t had a specific direction.
In the business, they call it “finding your voice”. Of course, I’m not in “the business” nor do I pretend to be… yet.

Also, having a beautiful baby girl will slow things down pretty quickly. Sports have been far from the front lines in the little war going on in my deranged mind.

One thing I have found interesting though is the recent increase in sports media. Blogging, sports talk radio, “Man Shows” on TV talking sports opinion have recently had the volume turned up. So much so that Bob Costas took an hour and a half to focus on it on Costas Now on HBO.
Now I love sports media, particularly because it’s a nice break from the reality that rules most of our lives: job, money, kids, money, bills, taxes and money (mainly lack there of).

The economy stinks and only looks like it’s getting worse. There are people out there who can’t sell their house and can’t afford to live in it anymore. The only thing they can look forward to is seeing if their Celtics can make a run through the playoffs.

Lives change drastically, for better or worse. Sports and sports media give us the chance to feel like part of something, like our opinion really matters. Some people say that all this extra sports coverage is just mind-numbing trash.
Sometimes, it’s the only way to escape.
