What's the Point? You ask...

In one hasty moment of annoyance after having listened to yet another over-the-top, obnoxious rant from (insert any sports analyst here) I decided to start my own site devoted to discussing sports news/stories. After all, it is the 21st century and who doesn't have a blog these days. Not to mention the fact that while perusing the google news section I came across a story of an elementary school kid and his highly-regarded site about pokemon. It was time for my voice to be heard.

And not in some important "listen to me on my soap-box" kind of way or anything, but just simple thoughts on the subject of sports. Because let's face it, sports is the great escape. Sports represent for most people either a flash back to a memory of joy when they used to PLAY (usually while "Glory Days" blasts in the background) or a way to leave their average normal everyday existence and simply enjoy athletic greatness. Sports are true entertainment without all the special effects and trickery (performance-enhancing drugs notwithstanding).

And yet sports do have the potential to transcend what we think possible. Whether that is overcoming huge personal trials and tribulations or cultural differences, sports have the ability to bring people and nations together. I mean what else can turn full-grown Home Depot card-carrying men to complete cry-fests a la that YouTube guy talking about Britney. LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE! Sure the occasional movie (Fever Pitch) or television commercial (Mastercard) can do that too, but not like watching your beloved team make it to the championship game only to lose in the final seconds of play.

So no matter if you are a sports nut or just like watching the games for the uniforms (Ralphie), please comment and talk amongst yourselves as this site is meant to be interactive and fun for all. Let the games begin!
