The ESPY Edition.

Sports.
Athletes.
The Best One in the World.

Think about it. Those words "There is no one better than me" becoming literal. It's just motivating when you see the best, Be the best.

Well, without further a due:

Kansas losing was enough ;)

Daily Sports Notes:

Tiger. Nicklaus. Rediculous. While I don't love golf, I can appreciate a 'perfect' stroke.

lead by 2:46 Lance watch

Sorry Sox. 17-1 doesn't mean shit when ya can't back it up. This is not the time for putting away your bats. I mean really, it wasn't your bats that made the 9th inning interesting. It was NY's errors, but that's technical talk that people reading this prolly could give a shit about.

(we missed our chinese food sunday night dinner. Pool, horses and beer took over.) Welcome Scott and Jason. =)
