Yankees 2000: Promote the Curse: Some Snow and a Lovers' Quarrel

Random Thought No. 1

It took me 15 years but finally I got back on the ski slopes. I shot up to Tahoe for a weekend with my crew from SF and had a blast. It was like riding a bike, I thought, until I almost broke my leg on a double black diamond.

I definitely have the ski bug. I can't wait to find my next mountain. But as I was driving home I found myself lost in a very difficult question. Is skiing a sport?

See for me, there is one criterion for what makes a sport: it's very simple but I fully stand by it. So what is it that defines as a sport? Has Omar Epps played the sport in a movie? That's all.

Epps has done a whole lot. He has played basketball (Love & Basketball), baseball (Major League II), track (Higher Learning), football (The Program), Boxing (that Meg Ryan movie he was in). God knows he will be cast in the Tiger Woods life story when that needs to come out. To me, those are the real ones.

Random Thought No. 2

As I sit here on this lovely Tuesday morning amped up to watch 24 and the Hills on Tivo, and even more geared up for my favorite show on TV, Two-a-Days, this evening I can only think about the newest drama coming out of the Bronx.

Apparently A-Rod doesn't really like Jeter. Who knew? A-Rod came out and said that his relationship with Jeter is not as great as we all "thought" it was and that he just wants to try and maintian a professional relationship.

This is kind of the equivalent of Johnny Moxon maintaining a professional relationship with coach Bud Kilmer. In plain english, he hates him.

The Solution

So A-R0d doesn't like Jeter and skiing, by the Epps Law of sports, is not a sport. So what does this all mean? The answer... Not a damn thing. It was a long weekend and my brain is pretty much fried. Hopefully you all had a good weekend.

VCD,

lister said...: from the Times article on Captain Jetes and E5. you seriously can't make this up:

When the Yankees played Rodriguez’s team, the Seattle Mariners, the two stayed together. They hung out in Florida in the off-seasons, and even joked on the field together while the Yankees and the Mariners brawled in August 1999.

“You go from sleeping over at somebody’s house five days a week and now you don’t sleep over,” Rodriguez said. “It’s not that big of a deal.”; 4:26 PM

ARod is begging for forgiveness after ' he started'? ARod is lucky that Jeter ever speaks to him.

Also, I saw like 65 minutes of two a days. Pretty damn good.

Good eye with Epps too. Did not realize he is the 'when in doubt athlete' in Hollywood.; 5:23 PM
