http://sportsgirlblog.com Sports Talk from Dallas Tue, 23 Sep 2008 03:43:48 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en My alarm goes off at 5:15 every morning. And each day begins the same way; with a painful rubbing of the tired eyes. For a split second, my brain wonders (ok, desperately hopes) if it's the weekend. But alas, I must rise from bed and begin the day. That, my ... http://sportsgirlblog.com/2008/09/reality-check/ Today may be the best day of my life. Or maybe just of the year...on second thought, maybe just the best day of the week. But you get the point. That's right. The football season has officially started and I am one happy camper. Last weekend the college season kicked ... http://sportsgirlblog.com/2008/09/let-the-games-begin/ When I began writing this blog about a year ago I only had one self-imposed rule; stay away from all things personal. No one cares who I'll be voting for in the upcoming election. If you want to learn about politics, the economy or anything else other than sports, you ... http://sportsgirlblog.com/2008/08/dominatrix/ Summer is a time for relaxation. People go on vacation, leaving the responsibility of their jobs behind in favor of lounging on a beach somewhere. The Sports Girl has taken something of a vacation as well. It's not that I haven't been watching sports; quite the contrary actually. I've watched more baseball ... http://sportsgirlblog.com/2008/08/persona-non-grata/ There are certain sports in America that have never really reached the frenzied popularity of the Big 3--basketball, baseball, and the pinnacle, football.

And with the Stanley ... http://sportsgirlblog.com/2008/06/missing-out/ It took Usher an entire album to get off his chest all the things he needed to tell the world. I won't go quite that long, but dear readers I feel that I must unburden myself. I've got a few things on my mind...  First things first. I'm becoming a bit ... http://sportsgirlblog.com/2008/05/confessions/ I had to turn the volume up a bit on my tv today as I was preparing to watch the first day of the NFL draft. I couldn't hear over the birds chirping and the song in my heart. Football, folks. Any day where the focus is football is a ... http://sportsgirlblog.com/2008/04/day-1-draft-dissection/ Spring has sprung. The baseball season has officially started, the NCAA tournament wraps up tonight and it's been about 85 degrees the last few days here in Big D. And let's not forget that the NFL draft is only a few weeks away...That means winter is over! The baseball season is ... http://sportsgirlblog.com/2008/04/take-me-out-to-the-ball-game/ Things just aren't right with the world these days. I find myself feeling like the subject of a Pink Floyd song; gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise. Why don't I care that much about the NBA? Why am I not glued to Bubble Watch 2008? Why ... http://sportsgirlblog.com/2008/03/that-aint-right/ Boy, U2 got it right. Look at me now; I got myself stuck in a moment and I can't get out of it. But enough is enough. I'm over it. The Patriots lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl and we are all going to be subjected to (at least) ... http://sportsgirlblog.com/2008/02/stuck-in-a-moment/
