He Knew He Was Right

It's still the first half of February. Pitchers and catchers are just showing up in Tampa. But, what a time it is for New York sports... The Giants win the Super Bowl for the fourth time. The Rangers are in first place. The Knicks...yes, the Knicks...are rolling. Eli for Big Blue. King Henrik for the Rangers. And now Lin for the Knicks. Baseball can wait.

No way will a Big Blue loss be attributable to my not doing my part now. So, here goes nothing.... That last game really was something else, eh? I was lucky enough to watch it in a great sports bar in Stowe, VT--the Sunset Grille and Tap Room. We spent seven or so hours there, ate two meals, and, well, enjoyed some pints of Switchback Ale. Enjoyed them we did through the AFC battle, and then through about the first half of the NFC game. By then, the nature of the latter game was clear--a tough battle with momentum swinging back and forth. I get nervous watching these games, and this game was no exception.
