Puppy Punt Out of Retirement

Ok so I've decided to bring the Puppy Punt out of retirement. I found it hard to keep up with this on a regular basis but I've got some good ideas rollin' through my head so I wanted to get this going again. With baseball kicking off soon I'm going to try and keep a regular account of whats going on in my main fantasy baseball league (Pi Lambda Phi). But for the opener here I'm going to delve into where the name Puppy Punt came from, because I'm not sure that everyone knows.

For obviously reasons I will leave real names out of this story and refer to the 3 parties involved as Michael Scott, Jim Halpert, and Dwight Schrute. So this story takes place a couple years ago at the end of the summer when my fraternity was admidst elections for positions in the upcoming semester. For one particular position it was Dwight Schrute vs Jim Halpert. Now Jim Halpert had had the position for the past 4 semesters and had done an excellent job, but more importantly he was still excited and willing to continue holding the position. But many argued that we should get someone new in there and that Dwight deserved a shot at it. My response to this argument, and I quote, was

"That's ridiculous, Dwight is one of the dumbest people I've ever met". At which time Michael chimed in with

"Harvey why dont you just go kick some puppies or something". And thus the name was born. While my comment might have been over the top, I was later vindicated as Dwight left school a year later because he was failing out (take that Michael). However, the name Puppy Punt stuck, and thus was born my blog name and the nickname of the new members I initiated as pledge master of my fraternity.

Anyway thats the story. But to close I'll throw out a few random notes:

1) I'm going golfing tomorrow (booyakasha).

2) Other than golf I'll spend most of my weekend watching college basketball, the WBC, and playing NBA Live '09 (jakeharv88 on xbox live if you think you have what it takes).

3) I have dodgeball playoffs on Monday, so other than golf that's what I'm zoned in on right now.

4) When I was looking for a picture of puppy punting (apparently its not that common) I came across this little gem.


And with that I think I'll wrap this one up. Until next time. Punt away.

LT should use more Old Spice

So if you watched any of the patriots vs chargers game you are probably well aware of the fact that Ladainian Tomlinson sat out most of the game. In fact he finished with just 2 carries 5 yards and 1 catch for 1 yard. While LT did have a sprained MCL coming into the game; the fact that he sat out most of what would eventually become their last game of the season was obviously going to raise eyebrows. What perturbed me the most was how Rivers was out there with a torn ACL risking it all for the team. Actually turns out Rivers had arthroscopic knee surgery before the game and will need further surgery this off season to repair the ACL. This surgery will most likely ruin his off season training and may potentially put his status for week 1 in question. Furthermore, LT isn't even going to need surgery in the off season. Why is it that Rivers was willing to put his career in danger but LT wasn't? I think the most ridiculous part of all this was how LT sat on the sidelines with his helmet on the whole time, like he was going to come back in or something. I dont really care what Tomlinson has to say about this because this was one of the most selfish moves I've seen in a long time. The only thing I can say is that LT should probably try to use more old spice, so that he can look more like this guy...
