Weekend Fun: Fighting off the hordes

July 14th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanE

Oh, to sum up the week. Easily done: Zidane. All-Star boredom. Nostalgia for a barely mediocre hometown golf tournament. Oh, and the Jesus. Yep, I think that about covers it. If you don’t believe me, just go ahead and scroll down the page. I dare you.

Anyway, there is much to celebrate this weekend. There is the return of baseball, after all, including plenty of games today and throughout the weekend. So maybe that’s the obvious one.

Well, then, how about a little football? That’s right - as you shake violently, waiting for your new copies of NCAA Football 2007 and Madden 2007 - NFL training camps are getting back in business and college campuses are starting to fire up some offseason non-workouts. Auburn students, on the other hand, are hanging out, playing some video games, getting good grades all the while.

Ok, so maybe that was obvious too. Football is coming back, you say? Whatever. C’mon E! Give us something off the beaten path. Something that we might not normally care about, if it weren’t for your hometown ties to it.

Well, I already did that yesterday. But it’s true, the John Deere Classic continues throughout the weekend, and though Michelle Wie is looking pretty screwed at this point - she’s tied for 142nd, forcing me to use Ctrl-F to find her in the leaderboard - Joe Ogilvie seems to be playing pretty well. He’s winning, and isn’t that exciting.

Alright, that’s all I’ve got. If you can’t get with the Quad Cities, well, may god have mercy on your soul.

Also, um, please come back Monday. We got some love from Sports Bloggers Live this week - blog of the week, actually - so we need plenty of our loyal fan base to come back and fight off the hordes of new readers, all in the name of mutual Postmen-drivel consumption.

Ha. Yeah, right. But really, come back anyway. See you Monday.
