27 days.
It felt like 270.
But after 27 days I'm out of the sling, or should I say the Sling Shot 2. I'd hate to see the older version.
My shoulder feels a lot better than it did last week, the week before, blah blah blah, but I'm still no where near where I need to be. They said I could drive, which I did after my appointment, but I'm not sure how "safe" I would call it. I mean I didn't use my left arm at all. Which meant I couldn't really use a turn signal. I guess it probably made me just blend in better with all the other incompetent drivers out there.
***So the Redskins won. They beat, in my opinion at least, the worst team in the NFL. At home. By 3 points. Not exactly awe inspiring stuff. It's amazing how. I'm glad that I have DirecTV coming soon. I need the ability to flip to other games.
***Shayne Graham ruined my day yesterday. I root for 3 things to happen each year.
The Redskins to win the Super Bowl.
A team to go 0-16.
A game to end in a tie.
Last year was incredible in that you had 2 of those things happen. The Bengals came dangerously close to going back to back years with a draw on their resume until a guy I went to camps with growing up just snuck one through the posts.
***This Vikings v Packers game is pretty entertaining. I hadn't watched a minute of MNF until tonight. For all the talk about Favre, the one thing that never made sense was why he "retired" two years ago. At that time he seemed as though he could go another 5 years and he still looks like that tonight.
ESPN has show a bunch of his throws from a camera hanging above his head so you can see what he sees when he releases the ball. Do you understand how sick you have to be to in order to make those throws? It's insane brah.

living on a prayer
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
I'm obviously describing Notre Dame's defensive performance today. I mean they had 3 goal line stands but also gave up 30 points at home, including a last second field goal to force overtime. It sucks when you know that the other team has way too much time to score before the final whistle is blown. It sucks even more when you feel that way with only 60 seconds left.
Hey. 5 field goals? seriously?
It shouldn't be this stressful to watch college football on Saturday afternoons.
Hey does anybody else just love those Mums in between the 20's?
***Ok so I have Direct Kick, which is basically a season pass to almost every out of market MLS game. I think there are literally dozens of people across the country that have this sports package.
My complaint is that they are blacking out the DC United v Chivas game right now.
That sucks. What sucks is that I can't watch it Live because it's on delay locally because of the Caps.
Yeah I get it. All of a sudden everybody is a Caps fan. Rock the Red. blah blah blah. Look I like the Caps. If I see their score flash across the bottom of my screen I'd rather they be highlighted in yellow as opposed to being in white but can't VS pick up tonight's game.
Quick check. VS is playing Oregon State v Arizona State.
Man some of these Direct Kick games tonight are extra grainy. I mean we are taking Setanta bad. It's like a bootleg of a bootleg to watch Columbus v Seattle.
Uh oh!
Goal for the Sounders. Not so great.
until next time

espn2 live from fountain head
I watched some of ESPN2's fine Fishing programming this morning and I couldn't help but to be jealous. These guys go fishing, and, get this, they catch fish. Not just a fish or two, but a fish or two every 5 minutes.
Unbelievable.
I'd love to see them shoot one of these episodes at Fountain Head Reservoir with me and my friends. Now that would make some killer TV. It's about time America sees what really happens on the water.
Even more random stuff:
***Who are these people that gather for the Olympic announcements? I had no idea it was such a big deal. I mean it was absolute pandemonium when that nerd came out and read the card that said Rio de Janiero.
The only thing that would get me that excited is if the card had read Kings Park 2016.
***So yesterday was the last day I had to make my required seat donation in order to retain my seats at the Verizon Center for Georgetown games. I, of course, waited until the last day to fork over what might as well be a King's ransom.
I was surprised at how difficult it was to give them my money. It seemed simple enough really. Just go to the website and click a few buttons. Well I was able to successfully navigate through to the very end until the "Error" message popped up.
Awesome.
Ok no problem. Just call them up. Strike two. I keep getting this one guy's voice mail. The best part was that even though I was calling once every 15 minutes, his voice mail message kept fooling me to thinking that he had answered my call. Very clever, and, at the same time, very cruel.
I started to think about the horror that would be me without my seats of the last 6 seasons when I got a call back.
Phew.
I'm sure the problem was that too many dummies, like myself, just had to wait until the very last day to do what they could have done 2 months ago. Chalk another one up for Team Procrastination.
***Today's EPL games aren't that great. Obvious problem is that Arsenal doesn't play until tomorrow. Chelsea v Liverpool is also tomrrow. Aston Villa v Man City is, I think, Monday. Man Utd plays today but they are so boring and will just 10 minutes extra time if they are losing or tied so what's the point of watching that?
Unbelievable.
