It is the penultimate day of the year 2005, and I am back in the homeland! We arrived yesterday from South America, and it is great to be back among the time of bowls!

But as this is m_ first blog, so allow me to establish my sports priorities and how this affects the content. (Underscores ( _ ) are for the letter after X, which I will explain in the next blog.)

My loves in organized sports are as follows:

1) College basketball

2) College football

3) Pro basketball

4) Pro baseball

5) Pro football

6) World cup soccer

7) Summer Oylmpics

8) Pro tennis

9) Amateur sports and athletes, including high school

10) Everthing else, while much of it at times repels me

Why does his matter? I think any real fan can understand subjectivity, because that is he source of all passion and beat, which organized competition captures so excellently. And so these are the primary topics, yet not exclusively, of what I will write these Fox Sports blogs.
