Okay, so I've mentioned that here at BlytheLea we like random things. Today's topic, to cover all the sports I love in under four minutes. That means a posting time of 9:05 PST. Go!
Cycling: Well, it's been the topic I've been on the most lately. Looking forward to the Olympics. Much as I didn't hate that Team Sky swept the Tour, really pushing for someone else to win in London. I know Cavendish put in a ton of work for this, but, really, I'd love to see a dark horse win. Also, sorry to be missing Thor Hushovd. Hope the rest of the year's races make up for maybe a bit of a bland beginning. US Pro Cycling, I mean you.
Hockey: The hockey world is still buzzing over the whole Rick Nash trade. Honestly, don't really care. Will he make the Rangers better? Maybe, probably, but if all of Pittsburgh's cylinders can fire in unison, even as a self proclaimed totally biased fan, I think the Pens win the East. Here's hoping at least.
Football: This whole Bountygate thing leaves an unpleasant taste in my mouth. As the lawsuits continue, I am daily reminded of how Congress fails to get anything done as well. Really, they feel somewhat similar. The conclusion to be drawn? Even in sports, it's all just politics.
Horses: Had to broaden this one out a bit considering its the Olympics, but I'm about out of my allowed time. Since the tragic loss of Amy Tryon, I'm not as keen to watch the Three Day Eventing. I love the sport, compete in the sport, and I love Stadium, and Dressage, but I feel like without the flag bearer for reasonable economy succeeding in an otherwise really freaking expensive sport, I'm left watching rich people ride in the sport I love and I just can't connect with that.
So, there it was, a minute late. If you have anything to add, feel free to let me know.
