feldmandonna.jpgfeldmandonna.jpgfeldmandonna.jpgfeldmandonna.jpgGood Saturday morning friends.  Today marks the (continuation) beginning of a beautiful partnership.  Last weekend, Michael Vick’s cousins had the sports blogosphere covered and this weekend, it is I, Patrick Imig.  You may recognize the name from my home base at JoeSportsFan.com, where site founder Josh Bacott, web guru Matt Sebek, contributing writer Jason Major and myself bear the fruits of the sports world’s absurdity.Â

feldmandonna.jpgfeldmandonna.jpgI’ll be here all weekend hanging out, so feel free to drop by and hang with me. It is, after all, Divisional Round Weekend and I prefer watching football with friends.  The Cousins of Ron Mexico claim they’ll be here today via the comments section, but they’re still passed out in the corner over there, littered in their own puke and urine.  Needless to say, we had a house party here at TBL headquarters last night and I met TBL for the first time.  He’s different than I envisioned, kind of similar to Nanny from Muppet Babies in that I could never see his face.  Oh, and over here we have the healthy looking Donna Feldman.  With the exception of having a cliched last name, she’s quite the person.

Send any and all tips/links this weekend to: patrick@joesportsfan.com.  And if you wouldn’t mind, give a little “TBL” at the beginning of the subject header.  I’d hate to be deluged with link emails and mix them up with the 3 JoeSportsFan emails I’ll receive this weekend.
