Donald Trump
(obviously nothing to do with sports, but just because)

He is in the WWE hall of fame, which is kind of tangentially related to sports.

The Washington State Cougars are an NCAA football team playing out of boring as hell Pullman Washington. They are however just as competitive as the Huskies and have qualified this season for the exciting and impactful Cheeze-it Bowl in Phoenix Arizona where you can watch them play the Air Force Falcons on December 27th!

Mark your calendar. Coached by controversial Mike Leach.

 

[Real Sonny Burnett]

But who are the Washington Cougars? Mistakes like that can cause family feuds, end relationships, start a barroom brawl, etc.
Happy Holidays sports fans/Perberts.

Go Huskies

Teams I Like

Hockey: Montreal Canadiens. Grew up a Habs fan and love the history.

Basketball: Toronto Raptors. I likehow they play and i am a big Nick Nurse fan.

NFL: San Francisco 49ers. Became a fan during the Super Bowl in 1990 and Jerry Rice became my favourite player

Baseball: No team currently but as a kid I loved The Montreal Expos. 1994, sigh.

Tennis: Roger Federer because of his consitency and versatility. Bianca Andreescu because she has great intensity.

Teams I Hate

Hockey: Boston Bruins

Basketball: Tie between the 76ers and now the Los Angeles Lakers due to the addition of Anthony Davis and Lebron James. I dislike Davis because he is a whiny bitch and Lebron because he is an egomaniac.

Football: Seattle Seahawks and NY Jets. For no particular, I DESPISE the Jets

Baseball: New York Yankees. I have kind of an anti-New York thing going on.

Tennis: Serena Williams because she tried to #METOO when she lost at the US Open to Naomi Osaka. Saying she was "fighting for women's rights" and trying to turn her loss into some kind of social injustice. PLEASE!!! She got beat, straight up. Take it on the chin and move on.

I choose fave athletes, which at times dictate a favourite sports team/organization to cheer for.

I am only stating my immediate faves to date, that I have witnessed, as there are far too many notables that excite the hell out of me from the past.

I ate, ran and dreamt track for years and Florence Griffith Joyner and Michael Johnson wore halos.

I began enjoying CFL as a late bloomer because of Doug Flutie as the QB for the Lions.

Which lead to me preferring the rushing QB's and backs of the NFL. (Too many to name)
Folks will know I adore the shit out of Peyton Manning. Even though his rushing was null in void, lol.

When it comes to taking me out to the ball game, watching Griffey Jr, Barry Bonds was dope!!

And give me Amanda Nunes...the UFC current champ, champ!
