right kind of crazy

one of my absolute favorite things that i NEVER forget about is when everything goes crazy. not so much like bank robbery crazy but crazy more like SUPERMARKET SWEEP crazy! where the atmosphere is so frantic and electric that you cant get your mind around your thoughts. some people react alone, others want to grab somebody else, high-five, yell, run, jump(mj against cavs), dog pile(march madness). i am alone in that moment. briefly, while everyone is hysterical, i am quiet, alone, and trying to process the feelings. i even go so far as to physically push people away. i look down and smile and my whole body gets tense, i hold that momentarily, then look up and yell and usually use profanity. even now i am overwhelmed by the emotions that come with such huge events. this blog is written through damp eyes, well i am not actually crying but there is a knot in my throat. dont judge me. i am choked up like i used to get playing BUMP/knockout at recess.in elementary school during tense dodge ball games i would be fighting back grunts and yells that wanted to come out of my mouth involuntarily. different than but kind of like when i (and You) had to fight back emotions when julia roberts said "i am just a girl standing in front of a boy, asking him to love me". anyways i am writing this with joyful heart but my emotions are confusing my goal of relaying some links to great things that can move you that have something to do with sports. i wish we could all experience these moments together and press pause,II then talk about exactly how we felt and what that moment means long-term. someone should make two hour cut-ups of great sports moments specific to region, and show them at civic centers, convention centers and just let everybody experience them together and cheer together every couple weeks because i will tell you this, you would go and you would cheer because you love drama. sports is "reality television" in the purest form. it pisses me off when people act like it is just a game. it is real life, real emotions playing out right in front of your eyes. i am not saying that "football is life" like a no fear t-shirt. i am just saying most people dont watch sports, they experience it. that is why they have all the lights and noises on who wants to be a millionaire, and DEAL OR NO DEAL..because although it may be real..it is a trick.. i watched it on mute one night to see what it was like. you watch greed and excitement take over someones better judgement. the lights and noise are to prevent the audience from realizing how sad it is that the contestant just flipped a coin for a quarter million dollars, or more. the audience is thrilled when people open ONE MORE CASE! ONE MORE CASE! that is why it gets great ratings! i digress. i just wrote a whole lot of nothing.

the point of this blog is to introduce or re-introduce you to some of sports greatest calls.

i think this compilation would make a great pod-cast for running or working out!


there are hundreds of calls that get to me but i am blogging not writing a book..well i may be writing a book but not on here..but i may not be..digress... So here goes.
