June 15 is one of those strange days of the year where there is no major sporting event happening at all. It’s the day after the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, months after the end of hockey and basketball and with football just down the pike of viewing. If you’re a big sports fan, what becomes of your day? Well I tracked my sports-related thoughts throughout June 15 and here’s what happened:
6:24am
Waiting for the bus, I instinctively check my fantasy baseball team, Duke of Earl Weavers, and realized the week is off for the All-Star break. Check the All-Star game score since the pre-game took approximately four hours and I fell asleep.
7:05am
At work, check my fantasy baseball team again.
8:13am
Wait, seriously, is anything going on today?
8:20am
Oh hey Summer League basketball is on, I can watch the stars of the NBA Future! First game time 4:00pm.
10:34am
Did an uninterrupted two hours of work without reading sports information. I will quietly await for my award.
12:00pm
Okay, lunchtime. Time to get into some good longform sports related content…
12:03pm
Oh, for fucks sake.
1:17pm
Spent the last hour scrolling for cricket scores. I have no idea what any of it means, but a sport that takes a tea break is alright with me.
2:43pm
What did I even do with my life before I followed these dumb sports so closely?
4:04pm
Okay! Finally some sports. C’mon… Milwaukee vs Houston? In the Summer League?!
4:22pm
Fell asleep watching Summer League basketball. I’m going to sit on my back porch and watch leaves in the breeze.
6:26pm
Ate dinner at the dining room table with my girlfriend. I left my phone in the other room because it is dead to me.
8:00pm
Watching television with my girlfriend. It’s a show where ladies are yelling at each other. If I squint really hard, it looks like Lou Pinella having a fit and a little drop of serotonin fills up the starved system and I fall asleep in a chair.
