The first of Creative Misfortune’s blog seasons has finally come to an end with the crowning of its Tournament of Past Champions champion – the 1999 St. Louis Rams. As we await the outcome of the NFL’s lockout, Creative Misfortune will now head into its offseason. While I am away, relive some of the many highlights during the first season of blogging action…
- Baseball, ironically, kicked this football blog off with a much celebrated reset of the classic Casey at the Bat poem – Mauer at the Bat. Relive the audio version here and the text version here.
- Soon after the Mauer bit, Letters of Misfortune were sent out to every NFL team.
- The great Brett Favre was sarcastically praised in the poem A Country Boy in Summer, which can be viewed here. Perhaps the 2010 Vikings season would have gone far differently had Favre shown up for training camp.
- The first ever “If Real Football Used Fantasy Scoring…” champions – the 2010 New York Giants – were crowned in Week 16.
- Team by team Season Recaps filled the void following Super Bowl XLV.
- And last, but certainly not least, Creative Misfortune pitted 128 of the greatest champions in NFL History against one another in its Madness-style Tournament of Past Champions.
Creative Misfortune will return in the fall once the NFL has figured out its money woes. For now, go out and enjoy your summer! Do not long for the passing of days until the NFL returns. Laugh and live life to its fullest.
After all, life is about making some things happen, not waiting for something to happen.
May your Creativity know no bounds and
May Misfortune and Folly never find you!
