Yawwwnnnnnn. It’s that time of year again when the sports world gets officially BORING. Sorry all you baseball fans, but it’s become almost amusing to watch Sportscenter in the morning (as I always do) and see them struggle to find interesting stories to report on.
Now of course there’s still some interesting summer sports going on - we just watched Rory blow everyone away at the US Open, Djokovic became the new number one in tennis at Wimbledon, the Women’s World Cup has had some decent matches (England vs. New Zealand anyone?) and interesting hair styles (looking at you Brandi Chastain), and I guess baseball is pretty fun when you actually go to the games. And of course there’s also the MLS, which always provides a talented array of man candy. I'll mention NASCAR for the sake of it, but NASCAR is not a sport. (Disclaimer: this a “completely biased” blog)
So anyways, what was I saying? Summer is a boring time in the sports world? Well maybe it’s not so bad…I guess what I’m getting at is that - okay I really REALLY miss football season. It’s been six months since the NFL season ended, seven months since bowl games ended, and yes, I am absolutely counting down the days until my TV is dominated by touchdowns and tight ends five days out of the week. I miss waking up on Saturday mornings to Kirk Herbstreit and the rest of the College Gameday crew. I miss the poor guy on the NFL Red Zone channel who has to frantically switch between games on Sunday afternoons. I miss Pete Carroll and the boring ass Seattle Seahawks. I miss Faith Hill and her stupid Sunday Night Football song and dance on NBC. I even kind of miss my boyfriend not speaking to me for hours after a Virginia Tech loss (or NY Giants for that matter).
Maybe sports during the summer aren’t so bad, but clearly I’m getting antsy over here without football.
So, is it September yet…?
