Ugh...

I'll admit it, my blogging these past few months has sucked. As my buddy Mike says, it deserves a "Meh" minus at best. I couldn't agree more.

One thing I've learned in the past year, is from a product development standpoint companies need to follow what the user does, not what they say. So I've gone and applied this same philosophy to figuring out why I haven't been blogging well. I thought it was my hectic work schedule, my lack of material, or maybe just that this blogging thing was a passing fad like my pet rock.

Then it came to me.

Even though I'm from Boston and enjoy a certain level of misery in life, this is a joke. The economy sucks. I am not too into politics. Companies not making money are being bought for millions. The whole Yahoo thing has just gotten annoying now. Worst of all, the sporting world, where my contributions are the greatest, is nothing short of miserable.

Wait, you say, how can this be? TVI, your Pats made the Super Bowl (still stings), your Red Sox are in first and your Celtics are 1 win away from from winning their first championship in 22 years!

Let me tell you...the list is long:

• Tim Donaghy - Scumbag, yes. Convicted felon, yes. Trying to save his own ass by regurgitating what has already been widely speculated, yes. Right, unfortunately yes.
• David Stern - De-Nile isn't just a river in Egypt. Arrogance will be his downfall. To simply dismiss such egregious claims, now coming from the inside, where as it has come from several others over the years, is the worst possible reaction. Its to the point it makes me sick to listen to him.
  
• OJ Mayo - (head shaking) Saw this one coming a LOOOOONG time ago.
• Looming Beijing Olympics - Typically I love the Olympics...can you think of a worse place right now? Baghdad Summer games? Just think of the marketing possibilities, "Join us for the Summer games in Baghdad, they'll be a blast!"
• No Football - I'm officially in withdrawal, so much so that I almost turned Area Football on the other day...almost.

Have no fear though, help is on the way. A great summer lined up followed by my defense of my latest Fantasy Football title. The Pats are primed to defend their honor, if only our defense was 5 years older at each position. The Sox look like they are going to cruise back to the series and see what happens from there. (Cubs v. Red Sox anyone?) Even my BC Eagles are looking good at most positions, even QB where Chris Crane is replacing Matty Ice who went #3 overall to the Falcons.
