So I hear there was a football game earlier tonight. If you can believe it, I've actually been spending the evening watching Puppy Bowl III on Animal Planet. I'm not quite sure what this says, except that I had about zero interest in the Super Bowl this year. (Not that I usually have much interest in it at all, mind you.) Still, I'm not even a dog person. This is kind of confusing to think about, actually.
As far as the Red Wings go ... well, there's no way I see them winning the Cup this year given how horrible their special teams have been, and bringing in Peter Forsberg just strikes me as the kind of hot-shotting I thought the team would be through with after losing Yzerman and Shanahan and Hull. Right now the Wings need to focus on building a young core, and I shudder at the word going around that Datsyuk is going to test the free agent waters after the season. (Don, I caught the Wings/Isles game on Tuesday, and I'll be the first to say that the refs totally screwed you over.)
I may actually get back into watching basketball for the first time in a while, as the addition of Chris Webber to the Pistons has actually sparked my interest a bit here. I'm still not that much of a basketball enthusiast, though.
Since you are not a dog person, I will guess that you heard about the puppy bowl by watching Friday's NBC Nightly News?
Actually, in one of my many recent spats of spending hours straight just going through Wikipedia learning about stuff (I've been doing that a lot lately), I was looking up information on cable TV channels that are no longer on the air. One of those channels was The Puppy Channel, whose entry on Wikipedia included a link to the entry on the Puppy Bowl. (This was a couple of weeks ago or so; I think I originally went on Wikipedia looking for information on All News Channel.)
