Sports Tri-Fecta

What a weekend of sports that was for me personally. Probably one of the best ones.

First, let's kick it off with my first head coached basketball game.

It was a little back and forth at first, than we started to crumble on defense and found ourselves down at the half 10-6. We were also at a disadvantage playing on higher hoops than normal for this age group.

But, at the half, we went over our defense, didn't do any warmups and just talked the whole ten minutes.

We came out in the second half and played amazing.

We outscored them 12-0 and won the game 18-10.

 

This picture will always symbolize my first great moment as a head coach. Yeah, it's just 3rd/4th grade, but it meant a lot to me.

It's a proud moment.

Next, I don't have a picture for this, but another great game yesterday by Jaxson Dart as he led my Giants over the hated Cowboys 34-17.

We are only just a good coaching staff and a few defensive pieces away I think. Looking forward to next season (as I say this every year and then turn out disappointed).

And finally, I am the champion my friend....I kept on fighting til the end!!! Well, after an up and down fantasy football season with injuries everywhere, my free agent signings paid off and I came back to win the championship. Third time in four years in my Sport Card Collectors fantasy league.

I am not sure how your sports weekend went, but let me know if it was better than mine.

Now if only the Eagles and Patriots can lose next weekend, that would make two great weekends in a row. My second basketball game is next Saturday and I have two practices this week.

Hope everyone has a great day and a great cup of coffee.

Statistically Crazy

I have mentioned this on here before, I am a man of numbers.

I like quantity over quality when it comes to some of my PC's, I like having more followers than not on social media, I like more than one cup of coffee, I like keep track of streaks in sports, and I really like watching views on my YouTube and on my blogs.

But last month, I am not sure what was going on in the coffee botverse especially since I didn't post much in June, but numbers blew up for me astronomically on two of my blogs. All record breakers straight across the board.

 

Cards Over Coffee is usually a less than 12,000-15,000 view blog per month and it blew up more than two times that! The 3,649 views was also a daily high for this blog that usually averages about 300 on a post day.

Then came the absolute craziness of Sport Card Collectors.

 

The first shocking number was the daily record breaker. I think before it was like 10,000 or so views in a day. Well, let me tell you, over 75,000 views on that day. INSANE!

On top of that, it walloped my highest monthly total which oddly enough was around 75,000. This time it went for over 250,000. The blog normally averages about 20,000 since I don't really blog on it anymore which makes it even more impressive.

So far, this month seems to be back down to earth, maybe even a tad slower. Hopefully it doesn't stay that way. I mean, who doesn't want to come by to see what craziness I posted with some hot brew on here? I sure hope you do! Well, you must if you are reading this tonight (or tomorrow). Thanks for that.

Hope everyone has a great night.
