Rivalries


I'm feeling the pressure of writing my first blog post.  For some reason I think that 8 million people are about to read what I write although I know only about 15 combined people actually will throughout the next 5 years.  Words won't be spelled correctly, the blog's grammar will be "turrible", and the facts will be true 50% of the time..everytime.  Hopefully we can blog about some interesting topics that can create some discussion and then it will be worth every minute that my job pays me to sit and write this. 

Thus, I start with the #1 greatest rivalry in all of sports: Sasha Vujacic vs. Goran Dragic.  I find nothing more interesting than 2 European Wieners fighting for dominance during bench minutes.  It’s all about flopping and thicker, fuller hair.  I would rather watch these 2 get in a cage match more then anyone else in the NBA.  Shaq vs Kobe? I don't want Kobe to get hurt.  Lebron vs Kobe?  Lebron would call for help.  DJ Mbenga vs Eddie House?  That actually would be amazing.  But nothing compares to Vujacic vs. Dragic.  It's like 2 chicks fighting over the last Herbal Essence bottle on Black Friday.

Rivalries are undoubtedly one of the greatest things about sports but, for me, I love them in everything.  I compete with my friends over best couch seat and "first-to-order" at restaurants.    I have a current rivalry with my roommate that I make the best dip on Super Bowl Sunday...and I always win.  Its an easy win because my roommate infamously brings his "7-Layer Dip" although it only has maybe 5.  He counts taco seasoning as his sixth layer and olives as his seventh, but he always leaves them out.

Who knows what would happen in a Vujacic/Dragic cage match or if I actually lost Best Dip?  I would sure love to find out.
