Welcome Aboard!

So this is the inaugural post of what may or may not be a continued effort to write about two of the teams I follow most closely, the Cleveland Browns and Liverpool Reds. After all, at the end of the day, it's all football, right?

Unfortunately I'm starting the blog on a day when I don't have anything particularly interesting to say. The Browns season has been effectively over since they lost to the Ravens back in November; the team was simply too far behind the rest of the AFC to realistically earn a Wild Card berth. This is par for the course here in Cleveland, where meaningful football in December is more likely to be played by a kid on his X-Box than by the professionals paid to do it.

Fortunately, across the pond (as they say), Liverpool is enjoying a relatively good season, sitting one point clear of Chelsea at the top of the table. This is in spite of the fact that their wunderkind striker from sunny Spain, Fernando Torres, has been chronically injured all season. Their placement on the table would imply that they've been playing well of late, but the truth is a little less clear cut; their form's been poor-to-average, and they've really had some ugly wins. None of their games this season have been particularly exciting, outside of those two fantastic come-from-behind wins against competition that should've been easily dealt with in the first place earlier in the season. So one may hold out a little hope that their form will improve and they'll stay locked into their current spot on the table.

So that's really all I've got for today; I'd imagine there'll be more sometime this weekend (Game reviews! Random thoughts! Yay!). Welcome, stay, enjoy the furniture, all of that.
