Currently working on another project so today’s flakes is going to be just sports. Also, I’m bored with my haikus. Here’s a list if you want to start your day with them.
- Did you listen to Adrian Martinez’s podcast?
- Lots of people are skipping the Winter Olympics this year due to “politics”. Since when do we skip out on our favorite sports because of “politics”? Dude, you just weren’t into bobsledding like you thought you were.
- Anyone pay attention to hockey anymore? No, you’re not special if you still do. I’m just checking. Sidney Crosby did something cool last night.
- I hope Coach K is okay. Yes, we know you hate Duke. Most people hate Duke.
- Anyone a descendent of the Vikings?
