Happy Happy Year

The holidays have come and gone, I always get a little nostalgic during that time, then, when they're over, a little sad. Yes, I have finally accepted my geek-self and can admit, like an adult, that I like cheesy, sappy Christmas music and all the accoutrement that goes with it!

On another note...ok...I am so tired of all the negative articles written about Atlanta sports fans. We lost our hockey team and the fans got blamed for lack of success. The other day, an ESPN writer said our football fans (go Falcons) didn't deserve to win a playoff game. Well, he got his wish, thanks Jack.

Fortunately, it was followed by another writer who countered that article.

Regardless, the first article isn't the first. When we lost our beloved Thrashers, the Canadians took the opportunity to spear us as fans, or, lack thereof.

I wish people would stop pointing fingers and just get over it. A fan is a fan, yes, there are certainly levels of fan-dom, but please, is it really worth throwing insults at an entire group?

Ok, off soap box...moving on.
