Cricket

Prior to this year, I had never seen a cricket match. When I found out that the Seattle Orcas were being covered by a local channel, I decided to give the sport a chance. I watched every game that I could because I had no idea what the sport was like.

Revisiting OTLs

In the NHL, I have been openly critical of the point for an overtime loss from the very beginning. I have written about how I view this as an unfair concept. I also vented about the league keeping the rule when they eliminated the reasoning they gave for this awful rule. Throughout all of this, I don't think I have ever mentioned the implications for the entertainment value of the sport.

Why I'm not ready for Bluesky

When social networking took off, I insisted that I hated what social networking was but saw a lot of potential. I started discussing what I viewed as the logical evolution of social networking. Almost immediately, the entire industry stagnated.
