I don’t have much today. Although I did want to say something about this story of the miners trapped in Chile.

If you haven’t seen it, here’s the lowdown: shitty mine that pays dirt for wages collapses. Some how, by a miracle (and I really don’t use that word all that often and not unless it’s significant) 33 of these guys are still alive. They’re buried 2,000 meters below the surface of the Earth.

Put it this way: if you have a 52-inch television at home, go stand next to it. And then multiply that by 1,514, because that’s how many of those televisions, side by side, that you’d have to have to reach the guys trapped below the dirt.

Honestly, it’s one of the most amazing stories we’ll probably ever hear about in our lifetime. The probabilities have to be staggering for the chance that they’d survive let alone all be together, still have the room to set up a make-shift living station, and then to be actually found by the rescurers and none of them have died?

Shit. That’s about as lucky as my beloved Cubs winning a World Series title in my lifetime.

So anyway, I just wanted to point out that it looks like they’re going to be getting out this week and hopefully it’ll be a happy ending for everyone. If you didn’t read this story last week about how it relates to sports (seeing as most everything on my blog relates to sports, beer, boobs, poker, beer, food, the Cubs and beer), check it out.

Speaking of sports, my lack of interest in blogging today goes with my stupid fantasy football league. I’m going to lose tonight after Ladianian Tomlinson gets 20 yards rushing and/or receiving. So that’s got me pissed off, but whatever.

This video of a hit during the Stanford-USC game, on the other hand, definitely could cheer me up. It’s Monday and even though it’s not something from the worst acting category, it’s still wow. Gotta love it.
