I hate this time of year, from a football perspective. Waiting for free agency. Then wait to see if anyone gets signed. Then wait for the draft. Now that's drawn out over numerous days.
Wait, wait, wait.

I would rather have my finger nails pulled out one by one than watch basketball college or NBA. It's one game invented by a Canadian 
That I just can't watch.
I used to watch during the bad boys days and then when Big Ben was playing but the last number of years its just been far to boring.
The NHL is filling time and I've watched far to many games already. I've gone to a few games but have gone to a number of Ottawa 67's games. The 67's are frustrating because its a rebuild year for them. They traded all their top flight players except Sean Monahan who unlike the 67's is having a monster year playing with no one. He will definitely go top 10 in this years draft.
I was hoping the Oilers young guns would mature a bit faster but that hasn't transpired. Hopefully they can suck just enough to draft Monahan or Barkov.

I don't want the Tigers to go after him. He has talent but he has too many control issues.

Ya know, if these yahoos could sign a closer that knew how to throw strikes just once, that would be dandy. Is Leyland allergic to the species or what?

My Daughter has done a few of them and she also did something called the Spartacus or something like that.
She said its incredibly tough and she's a fitness freak. In the summer her and her friend rollerblade full out for 60 KM every Sunday. She distance runs and does these high intensity work outs.
I get exhausted just listening to her workouts.
If your in good shape you should have fun.

Has anyone else been kinda following how Brandon Albert has been acting in KC? He seems like a giant whiner. He isn't that great of a LT imo, and he is refusing to entertain the idea that it might benefit the Chiefs to move him either to RT or inside to one of the guards.

I mean, if they moved him, then that would mean they lacked vision and he was a wasted pick.

Would it?
Last I checked there was a new regime in KC. They haven't even conducted their first draft.

Agreed. He was drafted as a LT, so he should only ever play LT.
On a serious note, I can see Albert's point. They tag him so he can't get a big LT contract this year and if they move him, he likely will make less next year in free agency. It's best for the team, but not his long term financial gain. However he will be getting paid so he should just man up and play where they need him. He was a G in college so it's not foreign to him.
