Joe in the Corner

Joe Tel­liard is a very funny writer. But one thing we know for sure is that Joe will never be a sports writer, since he hates sports. Yet he did well in a fan­tasy foot­ball league. Go fig­ure? Is this like research­ing about all the teams and then wager­ing on teams based on uni­form color? The blog is Joe in the Cor­ner. In his post dated Sep­tem­ber 1, 2007 titled I’m Not Even in My Own Fan­tasy, Joe writes, “To clear up any mis­un­der­stand­ings that you may have about me, as a kid, I hated watch­ing sports. I spent my alloted tele­vi­sion time watch­ing Cap­tain Picard engage Warp 9, and fight off Romu­lan bat­tle cruis­ers. Later, I got into watch­ing films and now have a some­what ency­clo­pe­dic knowl­edge of good films. But if you ask me who Mookie Blay­lock played for, I am almost pos­i­tive that he was a one of the first African American’s to win the Amer­i­can Open Bad­minton Cham­pi­onship. LaDan­ian Tom­lin­son is my land­lord, I think. Pey­ton Man­ning was mar­ried to a pro­fes­sor of mine in col­lege.” Whether you love foot­ball or not, The Ris­ing Blog­ger is sure you’ll love our Post of the Day. Con­grats, Joe!
