Amazing Crazy Super Fun Happy Sports Time

So this is probably one of the best summer of sports I can think of ever. Over the past few weeks in the world of track and field we have seen multiple world records, amazing finishes, and incredible individual performances...too many to even mention here (see pictures above). On top of that the Celtics are playing the Lakers in the NBA Finals (currently winning 3-1), the US Open is this weekend at Torrey Pines (tickets in hand for Saturday and Sunday!), we are in the midst of the always exciting UEFA Euro Cup, and the Red Sox are playing well when they aren't kicking the crap out of each other. Let's see what else...oh right the Olympics start in a mere 55 days!

To think that this year couldn't get any better for me as a sports fan my favorite sporting event of them all occurs this year. Let's see Red Sox win World Series, Patriots go undefeated (although lose Super Bowl which we shall no never talk about again) and the Celtics...well let's just say have a bettors chance to win their 17th NBA Championship. On top of it all here come the creme de la creme...the Olympic Games.

The Olympics have sort of been an obsession of mine since 1992 when I was old enough to understand exactly what was happening in Barcelona. Since then I have been known to stay up to ungodly hours to catch anything from the Opening Ceremonies to the qualifying rounds of Badminton. Truthfully, I could care less what sport it is, there is just something about the Olympics that absolutely captivates me and sends me in to a state of virtual retardation to all that is not related to the Games.

Oh did I mention Dianna and I are going to the Olympic Trials! Yes I was lucky enough to snag tickets a few weeks ago when they sold off the remaining single day tickets. We have tickets for July 3rd-5th and hope to snag a few for the final day when we are there. It should be amazing, especially the 4th when we will see the Women's 5k final followed by the Men's 10k final followed by a 4th of July celebration at Hayward Field...I can't think of anything better than that...
