love and basketball 30 November, 2006

I’ve also been meaning for a while to start posting little things about basketball; I really enjoy following the nba, and the nuggets in particular, and I feel like all those hours I waste away watching games or even just highlights and box scores should feed into something a little more meaningful than my fantasy [...]

start of what may be a recurring discussion 28 November, 2006

I want to go a lot of different directions with this thing. I mean, I know the internet (teh internets? intertron?
