I’ve always been a fan of lists, tables or anything that puts things in numeric or alphabetical order. Blame it on my small case of OCD, but these things always seem to make their way into my everyday life. In fact, today’s update was on my list of things to do while hanging out at Starbucks at UConn in Storrs, Connecticut. Other things on this daily list?
- Walk Rossi
- Make coffee
- Eat breakfast
- Organize paperwork
- Read articles/blogs/news
The fifth thing on the list is definitely one of the most important. It’s strange because growing up, I really despised reading. I blame it on the fact that I was forced to read entire series of books in elementary and middle school. God forbid we only read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, nope it had to be the ENTIRE series. But, I digress. The point I was trying to make was that, now as a “grown up” I find a lot of joy in reading a lot every single day. Perhaps it has to do with my growing thirst for knowledge and the fact that the majority of the things I read are related to football at the collegiate and professional level. My friends tell me all the time to broaden my horizons but it seems like the football world always has so many things going on.
I promise to try to expand my sports interests soon….but for now, football is my main focus.
One of the more interesting things I read recently was a post by Tim Graham called:
The Big Question: Three Playoff Teams?
Graham briefly but rather accurately, discussed the major debate as to who will dominate the ever so competitive AFC East. He also describes the very small possibility that the AFC East will produce three equally dominate playoff teams (Sorry Buffalo, maybe at some point we’ll consider you a threat). We’re all familiar as to why this would come up as an issue. The Jets have managed to sign every big name imaginable during this off season and to be honest, the Dolphins aren’t doing too bad either. Last season, the Jets found success all the way to the AFC Championship Game…and the Patriots were embarrassed by the Baltimore Ravens at home (ouch.)
I like Graham’s points, especially that the Patriots have the 6th most difficult schedule in the league. Whereas the Dolphins, Bills …
Can’t be too greedy..right?
