JM Sports Report

I figured I should start a weekly sports report on my blog, mostly because I can. I probably won't be very consistent (I'd give myself a 50-50 chance of doing three or four of these ever again). I also figure I won't delve into the world of professional or college or "real" sports. You can find out about those in other ways. No. I will be covering the important sports.

As my loyal readers know (maybe that shouldn't have been plural), I recently was part of what can only be considered the most dominant championship team ever. Well, Plaque Smackers are back and ready to defend our title (please don't make fun of me for the name of our team, I'm the only non-USC dental student on the team and definitely did not have a say in the name. I would have picked something cool like Delta Strike Force One or Team Discovery Channel). After having a much needed bye week the first week of the season, we had our first game this past Monday. We only had eight guys show up. Included in those missing was our entire infield. Undaunted by this we took a 5-0 lead only to find ourselves trailing 5-9 going into the last inning. Well the bats came alive (figuratively, it'd be kind of scary if they literally did) and we scored 4 runs to tie the game up. We then held up and won 11-10 in extra innings. Most importantly, I went 3 for 6, scored a run, and drove in the tying run in the seventh inning.

The NFL season is now two weeks old which means that my Fantasy Football teams are two weeks into their seasons. In one league I am absolutely dominating as I won both games in convincing fashion. In the other league I fell victim to scheduling and put up a very high point total the first week, but lost in a nail-biter. Angry at this, I responded by putting up what could very well be a record for most points in a week (probably not a record, but I've never heard of anyone scoring more) to even my record at 1-1. In both leagues I am leading everyone in the number of points scored and have pretty much been a genius at the whole ordeal. Most importantly, I lead both leagues in amount and quality of trash talking. No one else is even close.
