A New Thing Every Day

Reblogging myself as the NFL draft approaches. Uncouth? Maybe. I don’t care. Football, for me, will never be the same. Peyton Manning was as great an ambassador for the game and for the city of Indianapolis as any professional athlete could be, and I’m on the hunt for a #18 Broncos cap. The class the Colts showed during Manning’s tenure as quarterback, while the Pacers turned into a bunch of thugs that embarrassed the whole state of Indiana under the guidance of miscreant Isaiah Thomas and misanthrope Larry Bird, made me feel good about being a football fan.

I just don’t know what I’m going to do with myself come Sundays this fall.

So.

A New Thing Every Day begins.

This morning’s entry is a play on a popular theme (first names of some famous players on a sports team set in Helvetica with no other identifying marks, in order to skirt legal issues, I’d hazard), but with Guided By Voices. I can’t think of a better starting five.

Bonus points to true fans of the band who get the visual gag [detailed image here].
