great day to be a sports fan

This is one of the best sports days in recent memory. Right now I'm clicking back and forth between:

(1) the Chicago Bears opening game against San Diego. So far they're looking pretty good... hopefully they'll get back to the Superbowl!! (Side question - why is the SEC champion and Superbowl team playing a season opener on the road??!)

(2) the US Open Finals. Roger Federer is playing Novak Djokovic. The first set was really exciting and went right down to the wire, and so far the second set is also turning out to be quite competitive. Federer is looking reeaaally good in his all black "tuxedo" outfit. Some friends are I have decided that he is definitly the McDreamy of tennis (aka McTennis).

(3) the BMW Champtionship of PGA Golf. Things have been pretty tight at the top of the leaderboard, but it looks like Tiger is going to pull ahead and come out with the victory.

What a great Sunday afternoon! Now that I'm home and watching all of this, I don't even care that I had to go into work for 3 hours earlier today. Man, I'm SO GLAD I'm a sports fan... life is just more fun that way.

Great call! I can't imagine not liking sports. Fall is one of the best times of the year (save March) to be a sports fan because of October being such a critical month for baseball teams and because college and NFL football starts. I'm so fortunate to have season tix to the U of L football games and to be so close to the 'nati that the Bengals fans are everywhere! The only thing better would be close enough to go see the Cubbies on a regular basis and for Illinois to have a 500 season in football...is it going to happen this year?
