LaGeorge

My apologies for the lack of content on the blog. I have been busy all summer doing research for my novel. My novel is going to be an autobiographical sort of thing about this guy who moves to California and plays basketball and drinks a lot. There will be some embellishing, though. For instance, in the novel the guy will be able to dunk - and not just normal dunks. We're talking reverse, two-handed, backboard shattering jams. It should be a pretty good book, hopefully available in time for Christmas. Some Christmas, but not this Christmas.

In the meantime, I'll let ESPN's Bill Simmons, aka "The Sports Guy", provide the blog material. Please enjoy this from his NFL preview today:

"Random note: The recent trend of successful athletes with conventional first names that start with "La" -- like LaMarcus Aldridge and LaRon Landry -- has me more excited than ever to name my first son "LaBill Simmons." My wife is less excited."
