My job is one of supply and demand. When there is not much demand for the particular service I provide for my company than I'm under no pressure to supply anything. So what fills my days during these low demand days are reading news on the web. As can probably tell, it's mostly sports news and these stories (combined with the watching of actual events I do) provide the ideas from which the Rant flows.
My two favorite sports are college football and hockey (college, NHL, AHL, high school - does it really matter?). So this time of year is particularly enjoyable for me. My weeks during college football season for reading material are nicely marked out on ESPN.com. Gameday Final & On the Mark on Mondays with a look at the Power Rankings. Forde-Yard-Dash, the Heisman Watch and the Bottom 10 on Tuesdays. I-Formation on Wednesdays. Chris Fowler's preview on Thursday. Gameday Kickoff on Friday. With the coming of blogging, mixed in with those is a perusal of different conference blogs just to see if there are any nuggets of knowledge. This gives me plenty to read and digest during the week preparing for another Saturday of fun.
This week there has been an added bonus. NHL & NCAA hockey previews. ESPN.com has been running a division preview a day this week and Insidecollegehockey.com has begun their conference previews and I'm sure USCHO won't be far behind. It's almost too much to take in and yet somehow I manage. Pages and pages of insight and prognostication all aimed at getting people psyched up for the seasons about to begin (not that I need that much psyching up to get ready for another Bruins season and a national title defense for the Eagles).
I am in overload and loving every minute of it. And the Red Sox start the playoffs tonight. Bring it on.
