From time to time, I like to write musings and observations about all sorts of things, primarily sports.  Today, while I risk getting fired for inappropriate use of a corporate computer, I'll do that.

- Ever wonder whatever happened to NFL third-string quarterbacks that get bounced from the league?  I'm not talking about players of the Jason Garrett or Erik Kramer caliber, rather no-names like Jay Barker, Joe Germaine, and Scott Secules.  What becomes of them after the NFL?  Investment bankers?  Sanitation engineers?  Faceless bloggers?  Are you blogging on this site, Tommy Hodson?  Fess up, man, we know you are...

- If I open up a cheese shop and call it Cheesus Christ, do I go straight to hell without even passing through purgatory?  Seems like a good way to save some time by skipping the judgment step. 

- Wait a minute, never mind, already been through hell.  It's called rooting for University of Rhode Island men's basketball.  Such poor coaching, so little talent, so little hope.  Hell, I saw them lose to an NAIA team a couple years back AT HOME!  Why do I torture myself?

- The Indianapolis 500 is this Sunday.  Remember when people cared about this race, when it was the greatest spectacle in racing?  Not anymore.  NASCAR and the Daytona 500 have stolen all the thunder from Indy.  I'm a racing fan, so I'll be watching Sunday.  I just can't say the same for everybody else.

- Speaking of Indy, go Helio!  With his charisma and enthusiasm, Helio Castroneves is the best thing IndyCar has going for them.  His third Indianapolis 500 win would give next year's race a shot in the arm, as he would then be attempting to tie the victories record and claim his place in history.

- Ted Ferguson, I'm staying at work 2 whole HOURS past 5:00 on a Friday.  Top that, bitch.

- The Red Sox have played the Yankees too many times this month.  I didn't even care about Wednesday's game one bit.  Now I know how a Devil Rays fan feels...except for the hopeless losing part.

- Where have all the bloggers gone?  I didn't make the finals of NGS, but I'm not giving up on my blog.  It seems like a lot of this site's users have done just that, given up on writing their blogs because they didn't succeed.  Not me.  I'm going to take advantage of this time to hone my skills so I can make the top sixteen when NGS3 comes around.  I'll be way ahead of the game by then. 

That's all I have for today.  Enjoy the holiday weekend.
