Regrets

My top five regrets in life:

5. Never beating Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Although I haven't quite given up on this one.

4. Not being able to dunk.

3. Not being able to grow a ridiculous mustache, though I've done my best with a few beards.

2. My college football career. I won’t delve into that. I should note that never winning a college intramural basketball championship almost cracks the top 5. And it's closer than you think.

1. Turning down tickets for a Pats manhandling of the Bucs in 2005, which was followed by an epic night of drinking with the guys who went. It's a complicated story but I landed in the whipped Hall of Fame...and deserved it.

That’s a tough list. Obviously I’ll never grow an awesome mustache and I’m not getting out of the whipped Hall of Fame. I don’t own a Nintendo but I will beat Tyson, even if I couldn’t do it in my video game playing prime (at this point I might be Barkley hoping to win a ring with the Rockets). And last time I checked college is over for me. However, True Hoop has shown me the light. If I can ever dunk with my WNBA knees (long story) it will all be downhill from there. And I won’t care.
