Hi. Nicky and Studs Diamond here. This is our coming-out party. No, not that kind of coming-out party.
This blog is about sports and life - as if the two have anything in common. We've been blogging for each others' edification for a few months now, locking out the public, keeping our posts private, honing our skills, getting ready for the big unveiling. And here it is.
It's a good time to come out, what with the inauguration coming up in four days and the world economy being transformed from pathological acquisitiveness to, well, maybe something a little more reasonable. It's a time of change, even in our insular little world of sports fandom. The Bulls, led by one of the most exciting young players in the NBA, are on the verge of becoming sorta good. The Cubs are on the verge of going to the World Series for the first time since humans began using fire. Or not.
Come along with us on this crazy ride. Meet our pals and kin: Benny the Brain, Coach from Kentucky, Jay-Dub and Norm, Big Frank and his Blasters, The Loved One, a couple of Smart-assed Teenagers, and all the rest of the crew orbiting our world. Follow the exploits of the cartoonish characters who run our teams: Hungry Jim Hendry and Chairman Jer. Live and die with Vinny D, Derrick Rose, Luol, Sweet Lou, Big Z, and Fonzie.
Hey, it's something to do. The Third City is more intellectually satisfying than "Deal or No Deal," it makes way more sense than WorldNet.org, and it's better for you than a short sack of Sliders.
