Potpourri Post

I know a lot of mine are all over the place but this one will have 0 theme at all so i guess ill call it potpourri. It is the simple things in life that can be most rewarding, yesterday I got my email read outloud of the CBS Sportsline Fantasy Football Playbook Podcast, as i'm sure all of you have heard it, so yeah Tom C from Boston is indeed me. I was in the middle of a bench press when i heard it and i was shocked that i had to regain balance of the bar so it wouldnt fall. I have had little success getting my stuff read on air, i got a couple emails read on WEEI, 0 on any matthew berry or bill simmons chat or 0 on any simmons' mailbag, got dave dameshek to respond to an email but just emailed back but didnt read it on air.

One thing i do hate is birthday advertising that people do around the office, very similar to Michael Scott pulling the old "hey someone brought in donoughts for my birthday" and the other person saying Happy Birthday when he indeed brought them in himself. There was a person yesterday going around talking as loud as they can about their birthday, and at one point i swear i caught them waiting for someone to walk down their aisle and then saying something about their birthday. People got them a cake and they had to go around yelling thanks for the birthday cake while looking around to see if anyone heard them so they could give them the obligatory "happy birthdAY". If people really liked you, then you wouldnt need to advertise it and they would have something planned in advance.

I saw a pretty cool moment this morning, i go to a dunkies that is basically a hole in the side of a building, basically a drive up window that you walk up to, enough room for 2 people in there, there is a woman who works there, i think she is middle eastern, that is real good at her job, she will see me in line and have my coffee ready for me without me ordering it. well anyway there were two women in front of me talking about her and when they got to order she had their coffees ready, so one gave her a bouquet of daisies and the other gave her a card saying that they will miss her and have a safe trip home, the woman got choked up and had to wipe away tears, it was a pretty cool move from the two ladies to reward this woman for her hard work, im going to be sad to see her go too.

Speaking of cool moments it always feels good when you do a good deed, i was walking down comm ave yesterday and there were a few people walking in a group and one was putting her phone in her bag but it fell out and she didnt realize it, i saw it grabbed chased her down and gave it back to her, and we all just happened to walk into angora cafe, and they let me cut in line which was nice of them. but when you do stuff like that it feels good, the other week someone dropped a 5 dollar bill and i gave it back. stuff like that people should do, although to be honest i wanted to keep it but i was thinking to my self come one now its a 5 dollar bill whats wrong with you.

I was reading an article on espn about 10 sporting events you would want to see before you die, got me to think. Im going to use things i have never seen before. I would love to see michigan vs. ohio state at the big house. Over 100,000 screaming fans against your most hated rival must be a great atmosphere. I would not really want to see a superbowl because the crowd is filled with corportate types that could give a shit less about the game, i would much rather go see an AFC title game in Foxboro at night while snowing, that would be awesome. I would love to follow tiger and phil on a final round of a major both going for the lead, that would be an amazing 4 hours. I've been to yankees/sox games in both places so that doesnt count. I would actually want to go to a world cup soccer match just for the atmosphere. Speaking of atmosphere being at a duke/unc game at duke would be a crazy feeling although i would have no interest in the outcome. Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont and the Breeders Cup would all be amazing. My dad has always wanted to see the Rose Bowl, that was before the BCS screwed this up, it used to be the big 10 vs. the Pac 10, but every couple years its the title game. I would love to see the three point shootout/dunk contest in person. If the PGA guys did a drive contest or try and hit the ball catcher cart that would be amazing too.
