Shuless Joe

Hi, I'm Shuless Joe. You may already know me from such threads as The best of baseball and Monday Night Football: Vikings vs. Bears. Starting today, you will also be able to find my thoughts, ideas and feelings here, as a brand new CBSsports.com blog!

I'm not sure how much time I'll have to keep this updated, but I'm hoping to get up at least one sizable post a week.

I know that, for many of you, these blogs will offer an escape from the more structured environment of the message boards, but for me, sports is still the name of the game. Or, is it games? In any case, sports are what I like. That's why I work here.

Baseball and football are particularly high on my list, but I wouldn't be surprised if these ramblings take me everywhere from bowling, to horse racing, to lawn darts. Hey, we all know lawn darts were awesome, but a few dumb kids had to ruin it for all of us. Kids now are soft, because they can pretty well avoid the natural selection process of playing outside with real metal death-trap toys. You know, the fun kind.

Man, I guess I've already strayed from sports. Now I have the mental image of Dan Aykroyd on Saturday Night Live, pitching "Bag o' Glass" as a children's toy.

This is tough. Maybe I'll start my postings with sports, and then just see where it takes me.

If you want to read and comment, feel free. If you don't, well, there should be plenty of other blogs to choose from.

Seriously though, this one will be the best.
