justice is failing in football, golf(that one is personal) & a whole helluva lotta normal shiz. i am a fan of the N.O. Saints, and the LaTech Bulldawgs but have no other heartfelt loyalties in football so i watch most games objectively. I am sick and tired of celebration penalties. The whole "Act like You've Been there" argument is an out of touch perspective on competition. A lot of touchdowns are the culmination of an entire off-season of planning, practicing, recruiting, jelling and working through mistakes. other times they are the result of mistakes gone right, or crazy athletic freak-dom, so if the player "throws the ball up" or performs a dance he practiced in the dorm/lockerroom with his teammates, or waits for the other players to meet him there for a dogpile give 'em a minute to take in the moment. If you dont like it, you probably dont understand it. Sometimes players cant "act like they've been there" cuz they havent. Think about it, these games are not played in a vaccuum, they are played in front of millions, and scoring points is the goal. So when you cross the GOAL line, its ok to be excited, hell isnt it more asshole and European to set the ball down and jog back to the sideline like you deserve it, like you have better things you could be doing like yachting, rowing, or having tea with nobles and that football is just something you do because you are so damn good. GET A CLUE ignorant observer...that score matters so much more than the 6 points that go on the scoreboard. There is no telling how far back the emotion goes or where it is rooted. kids dont just pick a school or an nfl team... they get recruited, drafted traded to the team they are on... wouldnt you like to score the proverbial "touchdown" in your job and spike the proverbial ball right on your old employers proverbial logo in front of everyone that knows you, and the person that took your proverbial spot on the roster? or would you rather set the proverbial ball down politely and jog back to the proverbial sideline without a word? "let your play do the talking!" thats BULL SHIT, you and lou holts know it! Take this, a kid from Austin, Texas doesnt get an offer to UT but they have the nerve to ask him to walk-on..TCU finds a scholarship for him and he earns a spot on special teams his first year. TCU vs. UT... he blocks a punt, scoops and scores. The payoff for his hardwork is realized in front of thousands and thousands... this is not self-promotion, its showing the world that Texas messed up, and that TCU got a winner, a game-changer, a player that is gonna get it done! HE is sticking it to the man... and thats American. If you dont like America then i guess i am not talking to you and you shouldnt be reading this. Its not just a touchdown, none of them are just touchdowns or just sacks, or just interceptions! they are mountains of emotion, effort, mistakes, one-step forward two-steps back, crumbling in one enormous moment. I am telling you right now, if you cant get that, you are out of touch, emotionally constipated and you are probably better off reading the box scores, because you obviously cant handle the drama. better yet send me your email address and i will send you a list of winners for the week. i would hate for the final score to raise your blood pressure, because OU was winning by 30 at half time and scored another 28 points in the second half, you may feel sorry for the losing team and criticize the Stoops for running up the score.

Break from the GOALLINE... my wife got a yorkie..WE(sorry goose) got a yorkie. YEAH a YORKIE! WHAT OF IT!?! Her name is LUCY and she is fat and has a bear face... I am man enough to love it and "puppy talk" her. I am also man enough to enjoy Gossip Girl, Grey's, and (back to the point) i am man enough to understand endzone dances, dogpiles, and fist pumps!
GET USED TO IT!!!
GOLF
LIPPED PUTTS provoke gasps, knee-bends, and profanity."Robbed" is the word of choice for my group but lipped putts are not unjust. They are hard to take but they are fair. UNFAIR is hitting a shot straight down the fairway, and finding it in the rough, or better yet not finding it at all. Are there warp zones that shoot your ball to The Villages(that would make sense, i mean how else can they give these Viagra addicts a life of luxury and free golf for practically nothing)? i guess they pass the savings on to the coggers. Maybe the Wimbledon Tennis ball boys spend their off-season keeping in shape and making ends meet by hustling muni-fairways for golf balls. I lose enough strokes and balls with bad shots. why do good drives dissappear with no explanation... The better the golf ball the better chance you have of losing it. I just want a fair shake.
Holding Penalties
i hate holding penalties. someone holds on every play. open field holds change games, i get that. i guess i have just been on the bad end more so much more than the good that i am bitter. that may not be a coincidence... since i cheer for losing teams and they probably need to hold more than the better teams. shit, somebody just send me the boxscores.
no i can deal with shitty penalties so long as DB's run around like they are crazy after an INT and D tackles shake their fat stomaches when they sack the QB!
down with cornhusker humility
LONG LIVE HIGHSTEPS & ENZONE SPIKES
