Day 16  EFavorite Athlete When You Were A Child

Akiko Thomson

I wasn’t really into sports when I was a kid because I was one of those really nerdy little kids that only liked to read and do well in classes and Akiko Thomson is the only athlete I remember from way back when.

Day 14  EFavorite Baseball Team

Because I don’t follow baseball that much, I’m defaulting to them:

A League of Their Own

Day 12  ETop Retired/Historical Athlete(s)

Michael Jordan.

Day 10  EA Sport You Hate

Golf. Well, I don’t really hate it but I just don’t get it.

Michelle Wie finally turned professional and competed in the Samsung World Championship at Bighorn but was later disqualified on her debut after taking a bad drop.

Day 09  EOlympic Sport You Love

I’d totally cop out and say that it’s women’s basketball because it’s practically one of the only things that I’d stay up during the wee hours of the morning for. But since this list contains way too much basketball already, I’d just go with my favorite *winter* olympic sport — snowboarding:

Well, actually, it’s two — Half-Pipe and Cross — but they’re still both under snowboarding so …

Jake Welch, Forum pro and the fiancé of gold medalist Torah Bright had this to say. “I would have to say that tonight was an emotional rollercoaster if you are a Torah Bright fan…but that could be an understatement. EStrong words from a newly-anointed gold digger. Have fun “soaking Eup the spotlight Mr. Bright! P: Huggy

Day 08  EFavorite Hockey Team

And because I don’t really follow hockey and totally have no idea about any of the real-life teams, I’d just go with the one I know:

The Mighty Ducks were awesome.

*crickets*

Okay, this post makes me want to search the whole net for a copy of the Mighty Ducks Trilogy. I’m running out of things to watch and it’s only Day-001 of my three-day weekend.

Day 07  EYour Best Sports Memory

It’s not really a right smack in the moment of sports sort of moment but this is something I think I’ll never forget. My volleyball team just finished a day in one of those Milo tourneys back in high school and our school’s badminton team was done with the day too (we weren’t really good but whatever not the point). Diary and I decided to leave our stuff with some of our teammates and hopped on to the Wendy’s joint in Taft. We then got on with the chatting and the gossiping and just basically nyor-nyor-ing about everything that we lost track of the time and before we knew it we had to go back. When we got back, our stuff was gone. We searched everywhere until those damn vball kids finally ‘fessed up where they hid our things.

Anyway, it’s not really profound or deep or any shite like that but that totally summarizes every single meeting I had with The Diary (caps necessary). We’d talk and we’d gossip and grumble about everything. And mostly those meetings just happen right after we did something sporty together — like P.E. Tres for example. Ergo, Best Sports Memory.

But anyway, since I can be so literal at times, I’d just go with the every Sue Bird D!e B!tches shot is my Best Sports Memory ever! answer. LOL.
