Withdrawal Sucks

12:57 am EST June 6th, 2008 | Sports | 12 Comments

I don’t care about the NHL.
I could give a crap about the Lakers-Celtics series.
I couldn’t be less interested in the Nationals or the O’s.

I WANT FOOTBALL BACK! SWEET JESUS, THEY GIVE US 19 WEEKS OF GLORY AND THEN ITS GONE FOR THE LONGEST TIME. I don’t care what Tony Romo is doing with Jessica Simpson unless it has something to do with preparation for the next game.

I WANT FOOTBALL BACK.

That is all.

    Serious suggestion to make baseball more fun for you:

    Switch off the color on your TV and watch a game in black and white. Score it yourself, too, if you know how (you can download some decent scorecards here).

    And for when Southern teams are playing (especially the Braves!), try tossing some salted peanuts in a Coke (or for a real classic, an RC Cola), and letting them marinate for awhile–the Coke tastes delicious, and the peanuts taste…well, pretty much like moist peanuts, but a tad sweeter.

    Baseball ain’t about how the teams play the game: it’s about how you watch it.

    and yeah, I miss football too. But you try playing field sports in June with a ten-pound convection over on your head and 20 pounds of padding (sigh, sometimes I miss high school).

    This might be a good time to watch the European Cup, starting soon. Soccer, as you call it, at this level, is pretty good. BBC are covering it in English, although none of the 5 nations at home (Eire, N. Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England) are through.
    What about Cricket? Day two of England v New Zealand is on today. My tip? Have it on, but don’t ‘watch’ it (a bit like Video shows). Should be a good match. With your Carribean background, I would’ve thought this would be tolerable for you. I have a cousin who, when laid up one year, became transfixed by cricket, even though he’s a Dubliner. He’s rare in Eire.

    I couldn’t be less interested in the Nationals or the O’s.

    Neither could Ted Lerner and Peter Angelos. And that’s kind of the problem…

    C’mon Ferris, don’t insult Ted Lerner like that! Angelos chooses to suck and throw away all his good players, but Lerner’s doing the best he’s got with the scraps the league throws in the bargain bin after the Yankees, Mets, and Red Sox scoop up all the good free agents.

    Sure, the Nats were down 12-0 to the Phillies by the bottom of the seventh inning during the first time I went to the new Nationals Stadium, but at least they had awesome kosher hot dogs! (They reportedly avoided a complete shut-out, but I left before then.)

    If we could have the Redskins minus Dan Snyder, I’d be happy. But such a thing is not meant to be.

    You don’t have football; you have the Redskins.

    I don’t understand folks that only are into the NFL. I love the NFL on television, but it is atrocious live.

    America Cup racing, baby, YEAH!

    Nothing so exciting as watching a sail boat go in a straight line for 6 miles.

    Yeah, that’s why I go for REAL excitement–watching cars drive in circles for 2 hours.

    That’s nothing Quaker, I’m prepared to watch a ball game play out to a draw over 5 days. That said, England will possibly win early on on day four without having to return to batting again.
