LET'S CUT TO THE CHASE
Kentucky lost. I lost the work pool. There is one more game left in March Madness and no one cares about it anymore.
At least two of these statements are true. 2/3 truth is generally my goal as a sports blogger. I’m sure that my boyfriend and his Journalism degree from the University of Kentucky would agree that 2/3 accuracy is about as much as any of us can hope to achieve in sports reporting.
Speaking of boyfriends, and of sports, I come to the main focus of this week. Yes, my friends, it is time for another edition of “How I Know That My Immersion Into The World Of Sports Is Changing My Life In Small But Measurable Ways Including Phrases I Never Expected To Hear Out Of My Mouth” with Josie. Tell all your friends.
For the newbies: a brief recap! I, Josie, am a girl, blogging about sports. My boyfriend, Josey, is a boy. We pronounce our names differently. I made a chart:
Josie = Girl = Editor/Writer/Owner/Rule-Maker/Queen of this blog = pronounces her name JOE-SEE = rapper name Jo-C = The C
Josey = Boy = Contributing Writer to this blog (read his piece about the NE coaching staff a few weeks ago!) = currently knows more about sports than me = pronounces his name JOE-ZEE = rapper name Jo-Z = The Z = Probably the most passionate University of Kentucky fan ever
And now, the point of the story has almost arrived. This is a real conversation Josey and I had last night. It started, as all good sports conversations do, with a Snuggie.
JOSIE: (THINKS TO HERSELF: MAYBE A SNUGGIE WOULD BE KIND OF NICE TO HAVE AROUND. HAVE SNUGGIES GONE PAST BEING COOL FOR LONG ENOUGH THAT MAYBE THEY ARE COOL AGAIN? WILL ANYONE KNOW/CARE IF I GET A SNUGGIE? IS THERE A REASON THERE’S SUCH A GREAT DEAL ON THE SNUGGIE/BOOKLIGHT COMBINATION ON MY WOOTDEALS? I THINK I NEED A SECOND OPINION.)
JOSIE: (ON THE PHONE WITH JOSEY) Hey, I was just kind of wondering if you would still associate yourself with me if I had a Snuggie?
JOSEY: (INSERT CARING AND UNDERSTANDING VOICE) Of course! As long as it’s not a Snuggie for Duke, Tennessee, North Carolina, Indiana….
JOSIE: Oh, are you kidding? I would rather drink Gatorade*!!!
Well, that’s all. If it’s not enough to fill your week up, follow me on twitter @JosieBASports. It might be more sports than you can handle, so follow with caution.
*Don’t get the joke? It’s ok. A few months ago I wouldn’t have either. Know that by the year 2000, the University of Florida had received over $61.5 million dollars in royalties from the sale of Gatorade. For more info, you can read this article. I skimmed most of it and skipped the rest.
