Exclamation Points

I slept 5 hours last night. Why does that matter you ask? Well dear friend, if I slept 3-5 hours on a school night it'd be one thing. I usually get that much while in the hustle of a Monday to Friday routine. But on a weekend night when I soak up whatever rest I can get like a sponge-sunlight combo, well, let's just say there has to be a reason my z's are cut short.

And there certainly is. Birds. Not the creatures my Dad goes out and watches on his days off, the pigskin variety. Time and time again I have written about my indescribable excitement for a specific football game that our Eagles have been a part of. Opening Day is one of those times. I am way too amped to be sleeping. To be honest, I'm way to amped to be waking. I fire off text messages in ALL CAPS WITH NUMEROUS EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!! That's just what I do come Football season. God created football to get man through the difficult transition out of summer bliss. Never forget that.

Just so you know, I'm officially back on the Donovan train, at least until he makes me karate chop my TV again. As intolerable as he is sometimes, our season rests on his shoulders, and I would still take 5 over the great majority of QBs in the league. Not to mention he's my fantasy quarterback, so any financial bonuses I can acquire rest on his right arm as well. So in the words of T.O., "I love Donovan", if only for the fleeting hours before the opening game.

FOOTBALL BABY!!!! BIRDS SEASON!!! IT'S HERE!!!

Can I just tell you how much I appreciate these past couple of posts Ryan. The Talent at Temple one upset me, as did reading about the Eagles because I didn't get to watch them out here in the windy city.

Thank you for the awesomeness that is your blog. You've made this Philadelphian, who is currently posing as a Chicago-ian a very happy guy. Miss you and the Philly crew brother. Keep up the great work and kill it at Temple this year baby. One love

Dear Ryan,

when i first started reading and saw it was about sports i stopped reading...then i remembered that i'm supposed to like sports if i want boys to like me. so i read it.

can i make a request though for future sports blog entries? can you write about something random hidden in the text so i have an incentive to read on? Thanks.

Love, the worlds biggest sports fan
