I have discovered the best possible use of my time on Fridays from 8-10 p.m. It's roller derby remodeled for the 90's and given to you as RollerJam on TNN. The appeal of this game is that they take buxom young ladies and former hockey players, put them on roller blades, and then they tell them to viciously skate in circles until brawls break out. It's wonderful! It's like WWF wrestling on roller skates. You gotta love cable television!

This is the official page brought to you by the WSL (World Skating League). It has all the highlights of last week's games, the rules of the game, team profiles, and a nice little section on the history of roller derby. You must check it out to read the great commentary and player quotes ("Mark D'Amato told me to come back and kill them, and that's what I did!" — Tim Washington).

Before this week I had no idea what roller derby or RollerJam was, but now I know that it's the greatest American sport since baseball. This site not only has even more history, but also encouraging words of roller derby's triumphant return to its mass popularity of yesteryear (hopefully through that which is known as RollerJam).

If you are anything like me (and I doubt you're that unstable) you have already fallen in love with this grand sport, which is quickly becoming more popular than women's basketball. What should we do with this soulful passion that we have for RollerJam? We should tell everybody of RollerJam — friends, family, strangers — everybody! This site encourages us RollerJammers to spread the good word through the vast resource that is the internet. We cannot let such good news go untold.
