Call him the Zen Master.

I'm gonna catch the Tampa game tonight—in person. I couldn't make it last week, so I'm going to my first major league game tonight. Can you believe it? My first baseball game, and it's the Rays in the playoffs. It's gonna be amazing. I plan to be blown away.

For those of you who are asking, I do read the comments on this blog, and I'd like to give a shout out to nikeman1313 and doublej488 for the support and the respect and for being interested in what I have to say. I just have one request:

"I got ESPN tattooed on my arm."

First of all, wow. I am overwhelmed by the response to my first blog entry. I think I read the first 402 comments. A lot of them were crazy. A thousand comments in the first day? That makes me happy.

Turns out he likes the Packers and Bruins—and thinks Kurt Warner is a legit fantasy pick for this season. Read on for more items of interest.]

Hello, everybody.

This is the first entry in the blog I'm doing for ESPN The Magazine. I don't watch nothing but sports—no movies, no news, no television shows—so I thought this would be fun.

Because I watch so much sports, I like to think I know what's gonna happen. But with the NFL this year, some things have shocked me, some things have been just terrible. Like the Bengals. Damn. I kind of had a feeling things were gonna be bad, but I didn't want them to be this bad. And oh my God the Chargers.
