I hope you're happy. Because of you, I now have a sports blog.

Cole
I'm happy? I thought this was your idea. Either way, the 9,532,754th sports blog on the Internet is officially online. But since we're doing this, I think the first thing should be to differentiate us.

RWPilk
Okay. Let's see. Well, for one, I'm a lot taller than you.

Cole
...The blog. I mean what makes our blog different.

RWPilk
Oh. Okay. Well there are two of us writing it. And we'll be competing. In fantasy sports. Which is like... what? Two guys competing in cloud-racing.

Cole
Man, I'd watch cloud-racing. The crashes would be excellent, provided shit (uh, I mean, stuff?) still explodes. Um, wait, are we swearing on this blog? If I have to censor myself constantly this is going to get really annoying really fast.

RWPilk
Hmmm, I don't know. Who reads sports blogs? Men? Men swear. So, we probably shouldn't swear. But two men could. And why are we working on this already? Isn't football in like September or something?

Cole
Yeah, well, I figure it'll give us a chance to actually coerce our friends into reading it. I mean, we need some kind of audience. Besides, there's always baseball -- trade deadline, pennant races ... the nice thing about sports is there's no real down time.

RWPilk
Alright. What's the first thing we have to write?

Cole
Well, since the Hall of Fame Game is just around the corner, why not start with an NFL preview?

RWPilk
A preview? No one likes previews. That's when people go and buy popcorn.

Cole
Hey, I know people that love the previews more than the movies. But whatever. It's the best place to start; just write about what you know.

RWPilk
That'll be a pretty short post. But okay. If all else fails, maybe I can find footage of Tom Brady falling out of a kayak or something. That'll fly, right?

Cole
That'll sink, technically. Go for it.

RWPilk
Alright. We're good to go. And thus starts our fantasy sports blog.

Cole
God help us all.
