What do you call the act of doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result that never comes?

I call that the coaching on YSSS's football team.

Sometimes You Gotta Leave

OSSS has decided he does not want to play with daddy-ball club team any longer. Can't say I blame him.

BWSS (Beautiful Wife of SoulSlam) says it has a lot to do with it not being as structured as our local program (which was no daddy-ball, at least at the levels I was involved in).

Can't help but feel I kind of pushed him into something he was not really wanting to do. Oh, well. On the plus, he's attending pre-season workouts with HS squad. Lots of running. Good stuff.

My weekends have certainly freed up.

Far and Away

So this club team (jury's still out on daddy-ball part) cancelled last night's practice, saying it's rained out. Trouble is it hasn't rained since Tuesday. So instead we have a practice at 3PM in Jersey City!

Now I know you don't know where SoulSlam is in relation to JC. Mapquest tells me about 22 miles. And these aren't straight miles. Oh well.

Game tomorrow - let's see.

YSSS has a bye week in football. No B Squad in Little Falls. Team gets a 2-0 W. That makes them 1-2 on season. They play a pretty good squad with the oddest offense in history next week.

Comfort in the DS

Evenings: I drive the Sons of SoulSlam to there sporting endeavors and hang. Getting used to sitting on the drivers seat and listening to the AM dial. As we speak I'm at OSSS' HS for a fall baseball Captains practice. First night. It's 8:32. I guess this is the next 7 years of my life.

Wouldn't trade.

Sports Update

YSSS' football team played 2nd game of season, another loss. He's getting some playing time, not starting...I tell him that when he gets in to make the most of it and play hard. The coaches are nice guys. Let's keep it at that.

OSSS' fall (club) baseball team played game 1 yesterday, a 6-5 loss. He started on bench (new guy?) then came in and played RF for about 5 innings. Batted 7th. Went 1-2 with an RBI single, two BB, scored a run. Solid day. I'm thinking this is a daddy-ball operation based on the lineup. We'll see...

Juggernaut

My Fantasy Football Team is a missile!!!! Here's what you need to know:

Arien Foster

Adrian Peterson

Tony Romo

Rob Gronkowski

Reggie Wayne

Matt Bryant

Demaryious Thomas

I absolutely shellacked my week 1 opponent. Peterson was just sitting there, undrafted in rd 5. Mine. He even sat my bench last week and I crushed.

I am. Winning!

Sunday

Well yesterday's storms have put a crimp on baseball...opening game ppd. Football later w/ YSSS.

Rain Delays

Coming down pretty hard round these parts...opening day of football postponed until tomorrow. Fall baseball tomorrow as well. Gonna be a busy.

I'm watching The Baberight now. Never saw it, even though it's 20 years out. I think the Director of Continuity and Historical Accuracy was AWOL throughout.

Day 1 Again

Now it's day 1 of 6TH GRADE for YSSS. He's a comedian.

Tell your jokes in school Sonny!

Day 1

of HS for OSSS. (Short) Bus just picked him up...away he goes. Forgot his lunch. Good thing I gave him a finbar ($5). Good luck Bro. SoulSlam is mighty proud.

Happy Labor Day

Hello September

Wow. Year 2012 is flying by. Hopefully 12/21/2012 is not a reality. I would hate for the end to go by so quick.

My blogging has slowed somewhat. My twitter is busting at the seams. Oh, well.

Sons of SoulSlam updates:

YSSS is going into grade 6; playing football. He's still fairly new to the sport. Fingers crossed he gets some good playing time this season. Scrimmaged the other night and he recovered a fumble (on D) and played really well.

OSSS is entering HS. Not the local school, he made the grade to enter the Academy of Law and Public Safety, which brings him to another HS. He's playing fall ball for the first time, made a club-level 16U team (as a 13U eligible player).

Otherwise it's end of summer feeling. Hitting a party hosted by the king of parties later. Adios. For now.
