Knock Knock... Geese Who?!
Mic check 1.. mic check 2...
Yep, it looks like this blog still works... I just seem to have been so absorbed in the new chapter of my life that I have been neglecting my social diary.
It is sad to see that my last blog post was in December by I can't even begin to make a timeline of all the things I have done since than and starting my new job at ESPN.
The one thing I can tell you...it took me two months to not get lost when trying to get to the cafeteria through the mazes known as hallways...and now the damn cafe is closed for a ONE YEAR for renovation...but my waistline must digress.
One the most interesting and mythical things I will share about ESPN is something that not many people may know.
ESPN sits on about 123-acres of pure lush land straddling Bristol and Southington (that's not mythical, that's a fact), but there are some creatures that lurk in the night, or for all hours of the day for that matter...
These creatures are feathery, loud and tend to travel in large packs, intimidating the masses with their large squawks, v-formations and landmine dumping tactics.
These creatures of the night are the infamous ESPN geese.
The spring season starts out quietly with a few geese making their yearly marks on the campus...but quickly...the small boy band quantity of geese quickly becomes a boy band plus mobs of fans.
The ESPN geese take over sidewalks, driveways, sideways and slant-ways and long ways and back ways and square ways and front ways and oh, I am quoting Willie Wonka again... but you get the picture...they roll deep.
Here is a video I secretly record of them commandeering the lawn near building 4 last week...I didn't want to been seen filming them in case they retaliated with guerrilla style attacks of poop on my new car.
These geese have no fear and it's their world and we happen to be creating the worlds best sports entertainment coverage on their turf.
I have heard at one time or another there were fake coyote decoys placed around the campus to try and deter the geese from becoming regulars on the campus of the World Wide Leader but based on the small colony of geese that continue to night stalk the campus...I believe the fake coyotes ran away out of fear as well.
