Well, my favorite things to do are watch and play sports. My favorite sport to play is basketball. I love to go down to the gym and play pick-up games. It's good exercise and there is a lot of good competition around here. Even if a lot of kids are ball hogs and dont know how to box out or move off the ball. I also like to watch college and N.B.A. basketball. The big dance is the greatest sporting event of the year. LET'S GO UCONN!!
My favorite N.B.A. team is the San Antonio Spurs. David Robinson used to be my favorite player, but he retired after they won the championship last year. You can check out sports updates, scores, and highlights at http://www.espn.com

Besides basketball being my favorite sport to play, I also enjoy bowling (if you consider it a sport) and volleyball. I've played in bowling, volleyball and basketball intramurals. We got second place in bowling last year by just one point. We are in the middle of a new season right now. I have also been on a volleyball intramural team that won a championship, but we placed 3rd this year. Some of my other favorite things to do are watch baseball (Lets Go Yankees!!!), play Playstation, play around on the computer, and most obviously get extremely wasted on the weekends at numerous parties and at the bar. We usually go to Civic Pub on Thursday. It has kind of become a tradition on Thursday nights (Thank you School of Business for being closed on Fridays).
After a fun filled weekend of drinking, I usually spend my Sunday's being extremely lazy. I like to lounge around and watch football all day long. Unfortunately my favorite team is the Detroit Lions. They have been having lots of bad seasons recently, but they used to be a decent team during the early 90's when I started watching them. Barry Sanders was my favorite player. He was the best running back of all time. He would have broken all the records if he had just stayed in the league a little longer. He retired unexpectedly, in perfect health, and 1 year away from breaking the rushing record. These are his career stats.

Barry Sanders breaking tackles. We miss you Barry! You were the heart and soul of the Detroit Lions.
Thats about all I do. I'm kind of a boring kid, but hey, we go to Uconn. There is n't much more to do besides school, drink, and sports. I've included a list and a brief description of some real cool web pages. I suggest you take a peek at them. They are tons of fun!
