See You all in Two Weeks...

So I was going to write a post about the Devil Rays sweep being the lowest point in Orioles franchise history since 0-21. But then I realized that if this was football, that would earn me a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for piling on. And I also realized that J-Red would fire back with deserved ammo about the Nats falling apart.

So I'll have to settle for saying goodbye to everyone for about two weeks. I'm about to head outta here for a wedding. This time, the wedding is going to be my own. Fortunately, entering the sacred covenant of marriage (I win the pool for which ECB blogger would manage to use the phrase "sacred covenant" first in any of their posts) is only forcing me to miss one sacred Maryland football game, and this one isn't so sacred (Take the Terps over Villanova, whatever the spread is).

J-Red has my football picks and he will ghostwrite my post mid-week next week for Week 1 of the NFL season. You'll see a wrinkle for who I am competing with in my picks (that, my friends, is what we call a tease).

I'll be back from my Honeymoon in Aruba searching for Natalee Holloway and Sidney Ponson just in time for Maryland-WVU, and to celebrate a New Year with my people. But until then, everyone, enjoy Week 1 of college football, Week 1 of the NFL, good luck in your fantasy leagues, and I'm out.

Now 1/2 of our ECB contributing staff will be married. J-Red, you're on the clock.

Congratulations.

PS: Villanova over Maryland.

3/4 is married. I know it's easy to forget all about Russell and his 2 total posts. J-Red is the only one left who's single and living the dream.

Brien said...

Oh yeah, and congrats!

And I'm with Dewey, Maryland never covers these early season spreads. They'll win, but won't cover.

Bodog doesn't even have a line posted for the game, that's how much national interest there is.

I apologize to Russell and the heretofore unknown Mrs. Russell. And you all are right... Ralph will play Portis and possibly Turner liberally by the second half.

The single life is hard. Btw, hold all calls between 10p and 4a.

Jeremy's wedding was great by the way. I didn't get laid, but it was still a pleasant experience.

don't we all go to friends weddings to get laid, or do most of us go to share in the couple's joy?

Congrats Jeremy!

After two years, I have to say marriage is pretty good.
