Superbowl? A National Holiday? Stop Traffic?
San Francisco is the most wonderful city I have visited yet. Some serious life stuff happened there as well, but I fell in love instantly.
I will watch the Superbowl today. At least part of it. Back in the day, I would have been much more interested, but even my friend Silence breaks his own from time to time:
"So today is the SUPERBOWL. Now remember you're watching men in tights passing balls between their legs while bent over, n then a bunch of men jumping on each other , And its called Superbowl. We should just call it homo-erotic bowl. Not that there is anything wrong with being a homosexual. Just something for all you manly men who obsess over sports instead of being a real man n taking care of your family,. Lol. Just a thought. Enjoy the game
I think he is right on, but I do have a fondness for sport. Each season of each of the four "major" sports in the U.S., baseball, basketball, football and hockey (though hockey is losing out to soccer), has its moments. The Stanley Cup Finals create some of the best sports drama I have witnessed, but hockey has long been a favorite. When great teams really are "great!", they are exciting to watch. Watching the pure flow of the players' movements becomes intoxicating when those moves are constantly creating real and tangible drama. Glued to the seat for real.
The intricacies of the respective games are largely what kept me watching for years. Learning the rules of each sport and watching as the different coaches adapted still fascinates me. Baseball Tonight was a staple on my TV roster back when TV was a part of my life's roster. Nobody knows it, but Karl Ravech is the second coolest dude at ESPN besides John Buccigross. Ravech hosts a mean Baseball Tonight and is a great interviewer. He gets the facts, delves into deep analytical details, teaches the game, and truly seems to respect and love MLB. Buccigross hosted NHL 2Night (R.I.P) and was allowed to show his love for hockey. He knows the sport and is a funny dude.
Anyway, I enjoy the sport for entertainment. Just to kill a couple hours. The adverts are not for me anymore; they hurt my ears, eyes and soul. Too loud, too pushy, and feeding lies. A shame that part of the Superbowl's panache is the goddamned commercials.
Lies. Feeding us all lies. Keeping us away from whatever we should truly be doing. Ignore the pleadings of these companies. Watch the game and then turn the television off til the NHL Finals.
Take the under if you gotta do anything today. Defense will shine. Not sure about the points, but if you can get 3.5 with Baltimore, take that. Play 'em both with a "plus and under."
Because rape is a very serious topic, even the slightest sniff attracts attention. We'll see what type of engagement Silence gets from his ramblings above.
Professional sports are no different and due to the disgustingly high profile these athletes have been allowed to achieve, their names are first in the news. So, these following links are just to represent the fact that rape and professional sports do have a connection. How deep and why is a topic for another time.
