Huh? What's that? Oh...I guess I do have one, don't I? Cause you're reading it right now. Hmm. There seems to be a flaw in my logic...Ok, how's this:
I WANT AN ESPN BLOG!!!
There, that's what I meant. Just a regular guy who gets up in the mornin', takes the kid to school listening to Mike & Mike, gets back home and watches the rest of the show on ESPN2 (remember when it was The Duece?), then First Take while doing the daily chores and a little work, then picks up the kid from school listening to Tirico & Van Pelt (Scott rocks), then off to football practice or games where I'm the team photographer/graphic artiste. (Click here for some of my work.) See, I live sports.

LIL WAYNE GETS A BLOG:
AARON RODGERS 'HAS BEEN WONDERFUL'
[ESPN Ed's note: This is the first in a blog series by mega-rapper of the moment Lil Wayne. When speaking to him for a package about at-bat music in MLB (a bunch of guys use Lil Wayne), he offered to blog for us. Awesome. Turns out he likes the Packers and Bruins—and thinks Kurt Warner is a legit fantasy pick for this season. Read on for more items of interest.]
Hello, everybody.
This is the first entry in the blog I'm doing for ESPN The Magazine. I don't watch nothing but sports—no movies, no news, no television shows—so I thought this would be fun.
Because I watch so much sports, I like to think I know what's gonna happen. But with the NFL this year, some things have shocked me, some things have been just terrible. Like the Bengals. Damn. I kind of had a feeling things were gonna be bad, but I didn't want them to be this bad. And oh my God the Chargers.
They won on Monday, but it still wasn't the Chargers. Then again, I think LaDainian is going to figure out how to work his way back through this injury. LaDainian is tough. I think that last game will be a big motivation boost for him. I've talked to some people who've had similar injuries with the toe, and they tell me that it's the mental thing you have to get over first. The pain never goes away, so you gotta accept that and just fight your way through it. I think once he gets used to it you're gonna see he's the same LaDainian. I'm not worried about him. He's gonna be fine.
The Patriots aren't going to be fine. I expected this to happen even before Brady got injured. I've been skeptical for a while now. They lost their drive. They used to go out there and crush people, playing good football every Sunday. You could see when they were winning how great they were playing, how hard they trained and how disciplined they were. But then it became about 'who is this person dating' and whatever, and that's when I thought this would happen. I'm not going to say they're distracted because they're professionals. But when it becomes about all that other stuff it does take away from just going out and playing good football.
As a Packer fan, it's been pretty good so far. Aaron Rodgers has been wonderful, man. He's handled everything, and way more than just the football part. Of course it helps the Jets aren't doing nothing.
