I realized today something that I think I noticed awhile ago, but finally got fed up with today.

The most obnoxious thing in the world very well might be people that call in to talk radio shows, then hyperventilate on air. I don’t just mean a little case of the thinking train falling off the tracks, I mean flat out stuttering, stammering, and feeling like someone should grab a phone and dial 9, then 1, then when the body hits the floor press the last 1. Maybe its just a sign that I’m getting old that I listen to that much talk radio in the first place, or maybe its a sign that most of the FM station in this town seem to suck, and half the AM ones don’t come in worth a crap outside the station’s lobby, but everytime I hear “Joe from Omaha” wheeze his way through why he thinks George Bush is responsible for Green Bay’s 1-4 start to the season, I want to drive my car through a bridge.

Apparently the WNBA crowned a new champion tonight. I was in the restroom and missed it. (The WNBA season, not necessarily the title game.)

My NFL picks this week were abhorrent. I think I got 4 right, maybe 5. Either way, Pete got back on track and is starting to mop the floor with me. Fortunately, its not a very big floor, and the season isn’t even a third of the way through. There is time to mount a comeback. Or at least to mount something. Which is more than I can say for the Browns. Damn they’re shitty.
