What we are about on this blog: Episode I




Thanks to Brian's popularity and technological updates, it has come aware to the two of us that our readers have grown beyond Brian and myself to like 3 or 4, and sometimes even 5. Since these readers are on different parts of the country, most people's connection to this blog is either through Brian or I, not both. So we thought we would pause and just take a minute to let you into our vault, and tell you about ourselves. To know Brian or I, you don't need to know our families, or where we grew up, where we went to school...none of that matters. What you do need to know is what we are about and what we are not about. Brian will be handling what we are about, but this is a small list of things we would go to war against:

1)Barry Bonds - He barely retains the "image of God"
2)The WNBA - too many reasons why
3)College football fans who think their conference is better than the SEC
4)Michelle Wie - Please stop, by the way...She faked it http://www.sportsline.com/columns/story/9593269
5)Title IX - Brian and I can in good conscience say that we have never attended a female collegiant athletic event
6)Notre Dame Football - This is the "Lloyd Braun" of college sports (you know the kid you grew up with that really wasn't that great but all the other parents thought you should be like him). We despise it all, from Knute Rockne to Rudy to Rocket Ismail to Charlie Weiss...We wish only pain and suffering to them
7)Steve Nash winning 2 straight NBA MVP's
8)New York Yankees - they represent all that is soul-less and heart-less in the universe
9)The claim that USC actually won part of the national championship in 2003, and that in 2005 they were competing for 3 straight. If they had played in the SEC, they wouldn't have won a single one.
10.)The Chicago Cubs and their fans - Thank you Steve Bartman...Thank you
11)Vijah Singh - what a jerk
12)Celebrities who think because they are good actors it automatically
means they are experts in other areas such as politics--though we think Arnold was a great addition to California
13)Barbaro - he's a freaking horse
14)"anyone who takes away shots from Allen Iverson" on the list
15)The "Lifetime T.V. channel."
16)J.P. 11:30 games... The announcer would always say something like
"its gonna be a great game here in Starkville, MS... Undefeated
Georgia will have its hands full with the 2-7 Mississippi State
bulldogs coming up next.
17)ABC's college football pre-game crew (John
Saunders, Craig James, and big fat ex-Irish player)
18)the Heisman Trophy - Jason White, Eric Crouch, Ron Dayne, Charles Woodson, Gino Toretta, Ty Detmer....and anyone who played for Notre Dame
19)The WNBA!
20)Philadelphia Media, can't get over the whole TO
thing and they want Iverson out
21)Romantic Comedy movies, i don't know why they give
the 'comedy' title on end of it, also Dermott Mulroney
who appears in every romantic comedy
22)Hillary Clinton
23)Guy who whimped out and thought we needed maps
24)Cheerleading considered as a sport
25) The WNBA !!
26)The whole story and concept of the Titanic
27)Martha Burke
28)American Idol and all shows alike (ie Dancing with
> the Stars)
29)Ben Affleck...except in "Good Will Hunting"
30)Female sports broadcasters
31)People who voted for John Kerry and Al Gore
32)Trev Alberts
33)Katie Couric...ok, she's beautiful, but i protest her coming to CBS in the spirit and name of "Ron Burgandy"!!
34)- European Golfers
35) The WNBA!!!
36)Men who plan weddings
37)The idea of RSVP-ing to something, especially
weddings
38)No Name golfers who win Majors - Ben Curtis winning the British Open a few years ago would be like Temple winning the National Championship, only a disgrace
39)the first guy who thought it would be romantic to
put a diamond on a ring and therefore cost every man
thousands of dollars and months of sin saving up those
dollars
40)Humidity- makes september afternoon college football games almost
unbearable
41) Tom Cruise (but know we make a huge distinction
between the man and his movies)
42) Notre Dame Football -- We just really want to stress to you how disgraceful this evil entity is to 'sweetemotion'



I know this list is brief, but we had to do it on a wim. We may update this from time to time. This is a small picture of who we are, this is that deep well that comes to the surface for you to glance at from us. You may like this list or hate it. We hope this doesn't turn you away from us, but rather we hope you'll find some things on this list, nod in agreement, and say to yourself like we do...."now that is some sweet Emotion"


....Please let us know where it's 'sweet' or 'bitter' to you......

sincerely,

Brian and Alex

your comments on notre dame are typical...they actually were that good years back...and i think they are heading in the direction of being a perennial power again...they have been overrated for years but its not their fault..the media is stupid...but either of you would love for your college football team to have had the kind of success that would allow for a network tv contract and years of being overrated...i love it when people get that upset over notre dame football...amusing

also, other than his performance in good will hunting, ben affleck was pretty good in dazed and confused...but it is still not enough to make up for how big of a tool he is and how bad his career has sucked

I feel the sweet emotion after reading that fine list of 42. Was this finally the final season of the WNBA?

since the 1960's, there are 5 teams in college football with more national championships than Notre Dame....there success did not bring them a network contract, it was the homosexual love affair between the president of the university and an executive at NBC....why don't these other five teams have a network contract?? oh yeah, cause there not FAGS!!!

no one is ever allowed to say anything positive again about Notre Dame on this blog

is there a source anywhere that we can use to find out how much money the wnba has drained from the nba?
do you even have to buy tickets to get into a game? any other non-female sport/league would have been canned well before now...i can't imagine their t.v. ratings being much higher than 0.

Sportscenter is doing a gay mock college football tournament, and completely dumping on the SEC by only having one SEC team represented in their field of teams, and saying that Iowa will dominate Auburn. Kenny Irons could run all over Iowa with a CUSA offensive line.

here's how far the problem with notre dame has come: on espn.com in the "spotlight" section on the front page there were the following categories: Irish, NBA, MLB, NFL, NCAA football, IN THAT ORDER!!! they beat 3, 3!, bowl teams last season and we're putting them on the level of entire leagues! outrageous

to the editor: i would like a citation when you use an article i send you like that one about that b**** from Hawaii that wants to play on the pga tour full time when she's done NOTHING
