Week 7: Lord Hear Wad's Prayer

First of all, there’s no way I can top last week’s update so I’m not even gonna try. Besides, I’d like to take a break from the hate and insults so I can reflect on just how good things are right now in the realm of sports.
___________________________________________________

Lord, if you’re listening, I have but one humble request: Please freeze time in the sports world at this very minute, because right now things cannot get any better.

For those who know my personality, you're probably aware of the fact that I always think the grass is greener on the other side of the hill. When the future holds multiple possibilities, it’s the greatest feeling in the world. Well as of right now, there is a legitimate chance (in every sport I care about) for a team I love/really like to win it all.

Fantasy Football
-My fantasy football team is leading the conference, and I'm second only to Joey.

Football
-Now we’ve got the Bills leading the AFC East at 5-1
-Tom Brady is injured, and his surgically repaired knee is infected
-Rodney Harrison’s career is over
-The AFC is WIDE open. Think about it. Can you say there is no way the Bills can win the conference with __________ standing in their way?
-The Cowboys are tanking
-The Patriots are strug-a-ling

College Football
-I’ve been an Alabama fan since the early 90’s and had to endure scandals and recruiting violations that have kept them largely uncompetitive since going to the National Championship in 1994 when they lost to Nebraska. Now they’re #2 in the AP and Coach’s Poll

Hockey
-The NHL’s underway and the Sabres are off to a great start at 4-0-1
-Vanek’s leading the NHL in goals

Baseball
-The Rays are in the World Series (While I’m not a Ray’s fan, I’m definitely glad they’re playing for the championship instead of one of the usual teams)
-The Red Sox and Yankees are finished for the year

Basketball
-Basketball hasn’t started yet (Sorry Klumpps). But I like being able to watch Sportscenter without seeing some corn-rowed darkie jungle it up.

NASCAR
-The Chase is coming to a close & if Kyle Busch can’t win, I’m definitely glad to see Jimmie Johnson take his third consecutive title.

So drink it in. Even if things aren’t going as well for you as they are for me, I’m sure you can find a lot on this list to be happy about.
