A grade school teacher once told me that I shouldn’t write how I talk.  I responded, “what if I speak well”?

Yes, I am a sports junkie. In a normal year,I would be in a drought for my fix. From August to June, I overdose on NFL, college football, NBA, and college basketball and I can’t get enough. My DirecTV lineup now includes ESPN Gameplan and Fullcourt, but this year I may re-up the Sunday Ticket [...]
