Sad Piano, play on.

My Sports Weekend was below average:

Here are the 4 games I tuned in to watch after anticipation built all week!


Saturday, 6:30 am: My Beloved Liverpool was routed at cross town rival, Everton . It is bad enough to lose, but to get pounded 3-0 by a team that was a huge underdog is flat out a sickening way to spend your early Saturday morning. Sucked.

Saturday, 7:00 pm: After recovering from the earlier soccer disaster, Texas is humbled by Ohio State …While I may have expected Ohio State to win this game, I surely did not expect it to be that easy.

Sunday 3:15 pm: New day, new hope in the NFL. So, how would the two games I care most about go? The Cowboys surrender 24 straight points to the Jaguars in Jacksonville somehow losing a game that they should have won.

Sunday 9:00pm (Delayed): Because I am a masochist, and even though I knew the final score, I had to see with my own eyes the carnage of the Bears killing my Packers, 26-0 …And, yes. It was as bad as you would imagine. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. The Packers have returned to the abortion I used to watch in the 1980’s. They will be lucky to win 4 this season.

So, there you have it. I watched teams I care about play 4 games this weekend, and took the collar. 0-4. It is tough to do this, but I accomplished it in week 1 of football season.

What is wrong about caring about a team that we talk about all the time?

Teams I care about:
Packers
Brewers
Bucks
Blackhawks
Stars
Cowboys
Mavericks
Rangers
Hokies
Longhorns
Aggies
Red Raiders

All to varying degrees, but sure, I care about them enough to follow them closely and enjoy their success against teams not on this list.

Teams I don't care for:
Red Wings
Vikings
Bears
Eagles
Spurs
Sooners

I generally cheer for whoever is playing against them.

Of course, I was only speaking of domestic teams. For European likes and dislikes, take wild guesses.

The Reds were terrible. Crouch looks like the Euro matches had him a little tired. Oh, well, at least Arsenal only managed a draw - misery loves company in the lower half of the table.

Does anyone know how to find a list of radio stations that broadcast Cowboy games? I'm in Houston, and the only station around here I know of that used to carry the games (Beaumont) has switched to the suckass Texans games. Please help a brother out here in this godforsaken sportsradio wasteland.

Thanks Kipster. This is flippin' sweet. For all you other Cowboys Ticketheads in Houston (is it just you, Jay?):

"Cowboys radio returns to Houston
(David Barron, Houston Chronicle)

KNFC (97.5 FM) has picked up the Dallas Cowboys radio network, signaling the Cowboys' return to local airwaves after a three-year absence. Pat Fant, who manages Cumulus Radio's Houston properties, said, "Just like there are Republicans and Democrats, there are Cowboys fans and Texans fans (in Houston), and we're here to take care of everybody."

So when the Browns and the Packers are tied for the worst record in the NFL are they going to have to play a tiebreaker to see which team gets relegated to the Arena League?
