After trouble with a writer's block like illness, the Sports Panda returns triumphantly to the typewriter!

We all as living beings struggle with addiction, obsession, and illness, though we sometimes can control these, many times it is better for the creative process to let it engulf you so you can fight your way back to have that first breath of fresh air. This particular Panda may get overly emotionally attached to the teams he writes about, and from time to time the page will dry of all its ink as his tears have stolen the liquid necessary to type the words, perhaps it isn't the best of traits for one that writes about sports, or it could be exactly what the stale world of sports writing needs. If you can feel the emotion in the words you read from the page, it would seem you would be more interested in the words that leap from the page to give you a sense of being truly involved in the game, it certainly doesn't matter the sport as long as the writer has a love that can bleed through his writing. To explain there came a time I couldn't write about a quite disappointing result in the NBA Finals, I attempted to distract with the MLB but the Giants weren't helping me much there, and as time continued to pass it became more and more difficult to dust the cobwebs off this Panda's writing paws. Now we have reached my favorite time of year in sports, I can write about the MLB push for the postseason, the beginning of the NFL, and last but not least the start of the NCAAF season, if I didn't hate the Buckeyes already, after last season now I really hate them and I don't care how many quarterbacks they have, they are overrated and that magic from last season has dwindled. Anyways, the Sports Panda has returned, come here for your obviously biased sports news with a sprinkle of facts, from time to time reading this blog may require a chaser, I know I usually need one when I write it, but I guarantee you will not be bored when you read from the pages of the Sports Panda, so let's get ready for another great football season. Oh, and for those of you that didn't read this last year or have forgotten I am originally from Oregon, GO DUCKS!!!!!
