the saddest story ever told
for some reason, tsn elected to tape delay the england/switzerland soccer game today 3 hours, and chose instead to show some of round 1 of the us open. the plan was to ditch work and head to the grad club to watch the game at 3. unfortunately, andrea’s msn name was, at one point, “england 1-0 at halftime” or something like that – which is unfortunate but acceptable. and as i was on my way out the door, a co-worker (who i’d mentioned this to previously) said “hey rob, england won 3-0!” i asked him why he told me that when he knew i was gonna watch it. he didn’t have a good answer. clearly, this is the saddest story ever told.
i know. i suck. but i blame tsn. who the hell puts golf before football?!

richard hatch’s victory was pretty much impossible to avoid, no matter how hard you tried.

June 18th, 2004 at 3:47 pmyou forgot the part where i said, “don’t tell me ’cause i didn’t hear you.” and then he said as we were leaving, “but i thought it was good news.” ruiners be damned!
June 20th, 2004 at 6:42 pmmaybe he assumed you were cheering for the swiss? or do swiss fans cheer at all? perhaps they prefer to remain neutral.
in summary, ruiners suck.
