« The Goods On The Game, Raptors at Magic | Main | There was this about that »
Seriously, I was going to get up about 5 a.m. and try to get this all finished before the 6 a.m. trip to the airport for the quick flight over to Miami.
Except that I didn't and now I'm typing furiously at Orlando International and I'm not going to get done before I have to board, I don't imagine.
So the usual fun and frivolity will be a couple of hours late today. Forgive me.

Doug Smith has been a sportswriter for more than 30 years, a journey that's included seven Olympic Games, numerous and varied championships and more dreary regular season games than he'd care to remember. Here, he'll talk about them all, as well as current events and pop culture. (Just don’t ask him about music nowadays — it's not his cup of tea).
Doug what do they say 'Hope for the best and expect the worst?" If you can get anything similar to 'in-between' sometimes that is better than what can be expected.
You are in Orlando, bummer. It would have been nice to have dinner with you. Let me know next time you are in town.

Since they won (Dallas - dream sequence) most fans are still sleeping off the night before. Have a great day in Miami and I hear the weather is very nice. If possible take a walk over by the Hard Rock and check out the boats.

c'mon Doug, be honest. you just can't believe that you're writing a story that the Raptors beat Magic at Orlando. :) Have a great day Doug.

I am sure meter that measures the angst in Raptorland is on the low side today...due to the results last night and i had to leave at halftime, i knew they'd win, when i couldn't watch......how long a flight is that 45 minutes??...time to do up and then undo the seatbelt....whats more astounding...Love's 30-30 or the fact that Beasely had 35 points, just being a smart-ass...a 30-30 is quite impressive....
