Football

Last week the Giants were playing football in what I guess was an important game, so it was on the TV at our house. I endured the entire game and I have to say, I just don't get it.

Now I'm not an anti-sports person. I love the Olympics and watch all the different sports at the games. I enjoy high school sports and kids sports, but professional sports just leaves me a little cold. Especially football. I've tried to figure out what it is I don't like about it, but the only thins I can come up with is the personality types that seem to dominate the game. I find them to be overly obnoxious with egos the size of Montana. They gloat over their victories and sulk over their losses. I'm sure there are some nice guys in the sport, but for the most part when I watch them play I see overly large toddlers, stamping their feet when they don't get their own way and jumping up and down like silly kids when they do something right, which is I assume what they get paid so much money to do in the first place.

It's been a long time since I've been really interested in any pro football competition - I think it was the Jets in Super Bowl III? After all, Joe Namath was cute and I was young, so it was to be expected. But lately there just hasn't been anything that really caught my attention. With the Giants being in the post-season it makes me feel a bit out-of-the-loop. I'm ready for spring training to begin...
