The road has been a bit confusing in getting here, and with people like those two - R.J. and myself - trying to show you the way, I'm not so sure I ever thought we'd get here.
Yep, this is the 100th post of Wilber's Way. I owe a lot of the success of this blog to you the fans, the faithful followers of "The Way"
To be honest I started this site back in July when I thought I was getting out of the one thing I worked for since I was three. I wanted to keep some connection to sports and writing. Well, plans change and I stayed on at that other site that pays me. And the rest, as they say is history.
Yep, the very first item on this blog was that very video. Kind of fitting if you think about it. I started out a bit misdirected and have since found my way *BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE*
I've done some pretty good things on the blog over the first 99 posts. I'd have to say one I here the most about is the mancrush post. Yeah I sorta sweat a handful of guys. Not in a sexual way. I don't know what it is, the three I mentioned in that blog, Paul Rudd, Urijah Faber and Shia LeBouf are just confident young guys. Something I want to be.
I've also heard good things about man rules at sporting events. That one was one that I actually got input on from you the readers. There were some good notes in there. One I still stand by is the no proposing to your girlfriend at a game. I'm pretty sure I'm a sports nerd, I'm not tying that moment of hers to a game. No way.
On the sports side, the blog was pretty Brewers heavy during the Brewers season and I have my take on everything that has to do with the team.
And yes Wilber's Way endorsed a player. Of course we love Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder as well as Yovanni and Trevor, but those are obvious choices. Since spring training I had my eye on one Casey "Tits" McGehee. And as it was written Casey McGehee made a strong case for rookie of the year in the National League.
So much so that after the vote was released we recounted his personal Top 5 for the season, topped by the Holy Redeemer grand slam.

I went into a bit of new territory when I went away for a few days to cover the girls state volleyball tournament and turned the blog over to my friends. Vaughan (seen above pretending to take my life as he does from time to time) was the first to literally take a shot and he killed it. Then Amanda took a run at it and knocked it out the park. Then Wilber's Way picked up a college football writer in Golberg. Officially making it an eclectic staff for Wilber's Way.
There are plans for the Casey McGehee Fan Club's Co-President to pen a blog in a few weeks. Yes, El Rog will be taking over "The Way."
And honestly, I love seeing what other people have to say. I'm up for listening to educated sports discussions and seeing the funny others bring, too.
So, if I know you, shoot me a line. Pitch me an idea for your guest blog and I'll let you know a date. There will be some openings toward the end of March for sure during the state basketball run I'll be making at the Kohl Center.
Now for some new goodness for today's blog. I posted this on my Facebook the other day and it is just too awesome to not post here. I love LT, he helped me win a fantasy football title a couple years back, and this shows the man has some personality. Not the guy with the "Hit the Hole" shirt. Awesome mullett!
By now you've heard of the Jay Leno/NBC/Conan debacle going down. Well, Jimmy Kimmel, yes ABC's Jimmy Kimmel did his whole show Wednesday as Jay. Love the chin and love the lisp. Enjoy!
You thought that was good. Take a look at Conan's monologue last night. This is the whole episode, but the start pretty much sets the tone. Simply AWESOME!
Now for the 100th Nussie in Wilber's Way history. Did a lot of thinking about this and in doing the 99 Problems but a ____ Ain't one post the other day I realized this woman was not on the blog. Yes folks, I have neglected Jennifer Love Hewitt. She is one of my faves. Dunno what it is, but did you see Heartbreakers? Damn!
She was on the George Lopez show last night talking about "Vejazzling" Umm, you'll have to watch the video. That talk comes at about the 1 minute mark and again at 2:40. I'm not exactly sure what that is, but I might have to investigate ;)
And I have to give you a picture and pretty sure this one shows off J-Love!
