Miller Time

Today, I made a purchase that I am sure I will be mocked for many, many times. But before I share what this purchase is, allow me to share the emotional background for wanting it.

I've watched lots and lots and lots of different types of sporting events in my life. I've cried watching two. Starting with the most recent going back:

August 11, 2008: Beijing Olympics. Michael Phelps. 8 potential gold medals. At this point, the medal count was 1 down, 7 to go. Gold number 2 would come in the form of the 4x100 freestyle. Long story short, Jason Lezak becomes an American Hero, Michael Phelps looks likes this...



May 19, 2005: The first eleven years of my life consisted of me being a tomboy in the glory state that is Indiana. That meant grades K-5 were spent on the playground with the boys playing basketball. That meant my love for Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers started early in life. So on this sad day in history, the one where Reggie Miller played his last NBA basketball game, I cried for the first time watching a sport.

(No, I didn't add those words... but they do ring true)

So anyways, my purchase. I was sitting on my couch tonight watching (re-watching if I'm going to be completely honest, and if you were smart, you would probably hit the record button the next time you see it listed) ESPN's 30 for 30 Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks. Push comes to shove, I end up throwing down the best $9.99 I have ever spent on this little baby.


Don't judge. Goofy ears and all, I love him.
