Intro:
Welcome to Manny Stiles ' New Daily Column:
"Sportune Cookie" is a look at the events of the Sports World through the glass of a Captain's deck of a spacecraft that hurtles about powerlessly in the inner space of insanity. Or... just a "different", "interesting" and
Even if you walk a mile in another man's shoes, YOU are still the one doing the walking (in sports)
You can call it erratic. I call it eratica. We'll see how it goes:
Sportune Cookie
You will start a new venture and we'll see how long it lasts, punk
You gotta read it just like the "in bed" fortune cookie game but instead use "in sports" instead.
"You will start a new venture and we'll see how long it lasts, punk in sports"
Oooooh! It's Ominous. Like I'm scared of Ominous.
Is this "stupid", "retarded" or "gay"? Not totally. Speaking of stupid - where are the activists standing up for the rights of the stupid, anyway? Oh... there you are. But is it fun? We'll see... today is just the launch/excuse to drink champagne with clothed people of the concept. Mazel Tov!
Hmmm...
What's the over/under of Sportune Cookie? 2 days? If I make it a week, I'll make it a week and a half. The plan is to slowly add features to it until it's fun. Either way, I talk a whole bunch of other people into doing things I should be showing them how it's done... blah blah blah.
Pre-emptive Maneuvers
Yes, LA (and others) I know I have a hat to eat.
I mentioned you right here, Original DDub.
Meg, since you beat me to the punch by a day, I challenge you to see who's column runs longer!!!
NiteOwl and KD, I'm gonna pick a player from the past to highlight once a week -but they'll be players even before YOUR time (I suppose it's possible?), so relax.
Media Rant
Unlike many "bloggers" I appreciate the mainstream media and the severe majority of "professional journalists" for their shared ability to sufficiently butcher events and call it "news". I get a better idea of what really happened this way.

MS - Good Monday morning (and good afternoon to our very import East Coast friends). Hello, Pnatt. Good Wednesday to you as well!
Today's top headlines for WTMF sports:
I JUST found out there was an indoor soccer league today. But I didn't make a joke about car insurance.
Note to the community:
No offense to the author of the piece I'm gonna criticize, but the picture of the sleepy Zzzzz's guy made me tired when I logged on, so I didn't read the article.
When it was on the top page, I felt rather sleepy and did something else.
