A Pre-Season Mid-Summer Blues…

The New York Knickerbockers are STILL paying this man…

For me, the World Series, Super Bowl and the NBA Finals are emotionally like funerals. It’s like someone in my family is passing away. The Finals are so… Final. There’s nothing afterwards that is intriguing about basketball except possibly the NBA draft and the Knicks haven’t had a lottery pick in over two decades (and lately they haven’t been too good either). I have to wait until the end of August for the momentum to build for my favorite baseball teams. Only to be left alone again before Halloween. And of course, there is the Super Bowl. The single most grandest event in the sporting world. In essence, it’s the most expensive, lavish funeral your eyes will see.

The world becomes a virtual wasteland for several months after the Super Bowl as I await the next series of playoffs and up and coming crunch time performers. So now in the downtime between All-Star hoopla and BARRY BONDS breaking the Hammer’s home run record I will reminisce on one of the greatest college programs in the history of amatuer athletics. In a small window of time, Florida State University has produced some of sports most endearing character athletes. FSU also has a knack for developing multi-sport athletes. Think of athletes like DEION SANDERS who played two sports well enough to not be considered a gimmick. Cut from the same cloth as SANDERS is the super prep phenom D’VONTREY RICHARDSON.

D RICH will be the Seminoles quarterback of the future as well as a star on the diamond. Homey has nearly a three foot vertical jump from standstill and his arm is a fucking cannon. He reminds me of CHARLIE WARD, but with more natural talent. CHARLIE WARD was good enough to win a Heisman trophy and get the ‘Noles their first National Championship though. I feel like giving away some free DP Dot Com shit in honor of the Florida Seminoles, the end of basketball season and the beginning of NFL training camps. Get in where you fit in.

  • Name the old school Super Bowl MVP Seminole wide receiver who had a penchant for smoking two packs of cigs a day but still had enough game to get into the Hall of Fame.
  • Name CHARLIE WARD’s backcourt mate at FSU. And don’t be giving me none of that BOBBY SURA bullshit.
