Weekend Assignment: Good Sports

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Monday, June 1, 2009


Are you a sports fan? If so, what's your favorite? Do you follow many sports, just a few sports, or only one? If not, what is it about sports that leaves you cold?

I enjoy sports, and I watch politics like a contact sport. But this is about organized games. No political jokes this time around.

I like football - both soccer and US football. Just last week I picked up a Manchester United shirt. Yes, I'm a ManU fan. There goes half my readership! ;-)

I also enjoy following the Dallas Cowboys, though they frustrate me greatly these days, especially all the antics over the new stadium.

And my favorite sports-related activity is reading the Sports Whine of the Week on msnbc.com on Mondays. Every week they choose one Whiner and a few runners-up. Always a good read.

Extra Credit: If your organization, your family or your friends had a mascot, who or what would it be?

Other than a cat? Well, one year we hosted a beer tasting, and I went so far as to make our own coasters:

That's probably the closest we have to a mascot.
