sports

ok.

Phrodaux has a confession to make to the tubes.
I don't understand sports, maybe women's roller derby a bit, but that is about it.

My dad apparently played football in high school and in college, and played with a guy who went on to be semi famous (I'm not saying Grizzly Adams, but I'm not saying it wasn't).

But we never watched or engaged in "sports".
{Fairy Queen sidebar: Oh, Phrodaux, you lie. What about swim team, diving team, water polo? What about how we are fairly certain that my 10th grade self saw your 12th grade self IN A SPEEDO when our teams competed in water polo, 16 years before we actually met????}

Football.

I really really don't understand football.

A game goes on for something like an hour, but that hour can last for....ev....er.

especially when you are waiting for your non-football related show to start that is coming on in 2 mins when the freaking game is over that started sometime in the early paleolithic era. Who knew what sorta high jinx would ensue in a show called "hello down there" in that time when the sports thing was spose to end and when their oxygen was going to run out.

football. a game where only a few times in a match (game, festival, event, gathering, fet, or #$@$, argh) does the ball come in contact with a foot. By this logic, softball in my high school PE class should have been called "testicle ball" or to be honest, really softball still kinda works.... (shut up)
