First up, São Paulo, the team of my coração, was threatened with relegation for most of the season. Not only did they survive, but they managed to qualify for the Sulamericano (the second level international competition), so that's cool. Not only that but our under 20 team is the last championship winner of Brazil winning the decision with Palmeiras in Copa-RS, in Rio Grande do Sul.
São Paulo played one man down for most of the second half and still managed to beat them. Gabriel Novaes looks like a good player. I also like Walce (the player who was sent off).
Ok, yeah, you guys all know how the Heat reversed their fortunes. I think we're having a so-so season but it could be worse. I get to see them play on Friday. Bummed JJ isn't playing but I will represent.
Oh, and I get to see the undefeated UCF Knights playing in the Peach Bowl. I saw every home game. The last two (against USF and Memphis) were some of the best college games I've ever seen.
Finally, I guess I'll hop on the Jaguar bandwagon. Blake Bortles has done a great job this season and they finally have an offensive line and can play some defense. It made a difference. What do you know?
So, not a bad 2017.
Now I got to get my letters out to agents, finish my Jane Eyre paper (witches, feminism, and clitorides in the Victorian Age before subtweeting), and edit a short story to see if it will get printed. Two weeks to the end of the year... no problem. Oh, I have to keep my customer happy too. SCHEISS! <- RealGm, you can cuss in German.
