What’s Sports?

zydrunas_ilgauskasOk, so I’m a little behind. On Thursday my wife and I brought home a brand new baby!

Our baby doesn’t play any sports right now, unless you consider peeing for distance a sport. I haven’t seen any sports all week other than the eight-dollar Cavaliers game I watched while we were in the hospital. (Yes, “non-basic” TV was eight dollars a day in the hospital room.) And I only kind of watched it whilst in the haze of new parenthood.

Oh, I did hear that Zydrunas Ilgauskas will rejoin the Cavs after having been traded last month at the deadline. “Z” was/is the longest-tenured Cavalier. And I never noticed it before but he kind of looks like a baby – a giant, Lithuanian baby. Amazing.

Please don’t mention that to my wife for at least another three months.

I haven’t read any news stories, seen any blogs or heard any sports talk radio. As a matter of fact, I haven’t really thought about sports at all, other than to contemplate which professional sport our sure-to-be super baby will pursue. And whether Brett Favre will retire! I can’t take the suspense! When will we know?

So, I fear I don’t have much to add to the conversation this week.  Hopefully once we’ve adjusted a little more to our new bundle of joy I will be able to sit down and, you know, watch a sporting event. Until then I’ll have to be content with long-distance peeing, infant division.

    Whatever! I respectfully disagree. :) Great post…it made me smile. Congratulations to you and your family.

    Also he kind of does look like a baby.

    Babies are an excellent diversion.

    Although, within an hour or so of delivering my first I was back to watching the NFL. It was a Sunday, you know. What were you two waiting on?

    Anyway, Congrats on your new dictator!

    He does look like a giant Lihtuanian baby! Creepy.
