Post #1 - The Single

Likes:
- New York Mets - no other team can rip your heart out like the Mets can.
- New York Jets - no other team can kick you square in the stones like the Jets can.
- Miami Hurricanes Football - the one gem in a group of rocks. Most dominant program in football in the modern era, by far. Two top five NFL Draft picks starting on the D right now. A year away from another Sears Trophy. And the Shea Stadium of college football as their home field where they serve El Presidente by they .22. IT'S GREAT....TO BE...A MIAMI HURRICANE......
- Fordham Rams Basketball - if you want a team to make you feel good about the Mets and Jets just take the D train to Fordham Road and walk east 'til you hit civilization......
- Golf, specifically if the commenters are aware that there are players other than Tiger Woods. I don't hate Tiger, I actually have a tremendous amount of respect for him. I just hate the mainstream coverage of golf, its either Tiger or Non-Tiger, at least say the leader's name guys!

Dislikes:
- Yankees Fans/Players, in that order until someone admits booing Payrod.
- Feel good sports stories - some prick who undoubtedly shat on people through his first 20-odd years of life develops a drinking/drug problem/goes broke and finally squeaks out a decent season just in time to sign another multi-million dollar contract/book deal about his drinking/drug/going broke problem doesn't make me feel good, it makes me feel naseous.
- The Rehab Culture. There are people that certainly need rehab. Lifetime barfly's, like plumber's union members or door-to-door rug salesmen, who spend significant chunks of all day/every day for decades in dark, dingy, roach infested $5 hummer from the waitress missing her two front teeth bars have a choice between rehab and death. For these people, continuing their current path will literally mean drinking themselves to death. Their best option is to go AA and never, ever, ever touch a drop of booze again (or at least until the reaper is in the room, which I can totally respect). If you're under 35, are concerned about any drug that doesn't involve a needle or are a celebutard, get out of the way of actual alcoholics, grow a set, and deal with it like the rest of us.

Former Likes:
- NBA - the lack of effort in the regular season/ridiculous money contracts just kill me, stop guaranteeing those contracts! I don't want to be more sober than the guys in the layup line!
- NHL - part of the blame goes to the '94 Rangers, when they won it a major burden was lifted. The rest of the blame goes to whoever negotiated the VS deal and expanded the league.

I'm going to be honest. I'm not doing this blog to make money or to get attention or to try to impress anyone. The quotes you see above are mostly direct pulls from conversations I have with my best buddies here in NY via email while we pass the time when the market is slow. This format gives me the option of expanding on thoughts that would get me fired if I put them in email form as the SEC monitors our emails. This is a hobby for me, if you're still reading I hope you enjoy my future posts I'll try to entertain and be as offensive as possible.
