Who wants to go to a Sparks Game?

I think I'm going to go to a sparks game on Thursday... or maybe against Seattle on Sunday. Do any of my two readers want to join me?

So football started this week, and, like most people in the country, I was watching. And like most people who live in Los Angeles, I was watching, somewhat. But no matter what sport I'm watching, my heart is always with Basketball. LeBron was at Cleavland's game on Sunday. Carmelo was Baltimore's honorary team captain for the day. See what I mean? I see it everywhere I go.

I'm going to try to pursue a career in basketball. I'm not sure, yet, what that will entail. I'd love to coach, but I don't have the experience, nor the expertise needed for that. Or to be a scout. Or really anything. Maybe I should get a reality show a la "New York Goes to Hollywood" to chronicle my journey into the world of sports professionals.

I have begun by writing all the contacts that I have on organized basketball teams and asking for advice. And we'll see if he writes or calls me. I'm thinking about going to ASU (American Sports University, not Arizona State) to take classes in coaching and Sports Journalism, while doing a little networking with other up and coming sports professionals. Updates on this will follow.

Stay tuned for next week's WNBA Preview.

Until next time Bat fans,
