It has been nearly two months since either Jim Quarterly or myself took the time to annoy you readers with a blog post. We were both aware that it was in our best interest academically and financially to take a break from the 10-minute a night job of posting for our ten or so subscribers (now zero, I believe), but we never intended for our hiatus to reach such length.
I planned on taking some time off to focus on my studies and finally attaint my (parents’) dream of seeing my name on the Dean’s List. Blundo on the other hand took some time off to focus on work with aspirations of becoming Employee of the Month or something more than a cubicle-occupying, hair-gel-wearing waste of a salary. No offense, JB.
Two months later we’ve achieved a combined total of zero personal goals. In fact, we are further from them now then we have ever been.
So, here we are now, coming out of “retirement.” I won’t draw the comparison to Michael Jordan coming back in 1995 because he went on to win three more Larry O’Briens and make $70 billionish dollars. So unless Blundo and I become Greeny and Golic over night, the MJ parallel is a bit much.
To be fair I’ll rank our comeback bid between that of Michael Jordan and the recent attempt by Tiki Barber. Then again, if we do worse than Tiki we might as well move to Turkey and try to revive ourselves there (see Allen Iverson).
By now you probably realize that this post has no substance or real relevance. I’m not using this post as an opportunity to dissect the Cleveland Indians current seven-game win streak or explain how Kendrick Perkins reminds me so much of Dennis Rodman (minus some athleticism and a wedding dress).
This post is simply our “We are coming back!” rally. Think of us as superheroes and this post is our theme music. Superheroes is a bit much? Understandable. Then think of us as a 1990’s baseball all-star not named Ken Griffey, Jr. and this is our first steroid injection (see Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Pedro Martinez, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, (your favorite player here) , etc.). Much more realistic.
Please stay tuned. Over the next few weeks we will be covering Major League Baseball (emphasis on Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Indians), the NBA playoffs, and I’ll probably end up posting a 1,000,000,000,000 word NFL mock draft.

And the more you read and the more you tell us what you want to read, the more we will write. And we have a lot of catching up to do for time lost these last two months.
Trust me, I’d much rather blog about sports than be on Dean’s List anyway.
