Hike the ball!

I had a college friend who loved basketball as much as I — at the time anyway — loved baseball. We were both happy to rip each other’s sport at any opportunity. I would suggest they just shorten each basketball game to 2 minutes, because the first 46 minutes of an NBA game were meaningless except to assign a random number of fouls to each player.

He would yell, “Pitch the ball! Pitch it now!” at the TV screen while the batter stepped out of the box and the pitcher peered in for the signs from the catcher.

But, as it turns out, football has the same problem: A recent study showed that the entirety of action during an average NFL game actually lasts only about 11 minutes. The rest of the time is spent dawdling and milling about. And, oh yes, commercials.

    If the games were shortened then there would be no time for you men to argue with each other over which one of the other teams suck or betting on some stupid events.

    This game is really fun to play but, really sick to watch. Try knocking the head off a used cigarette in the toilet with your piss.

  • Nascar: Sitting on your butt and drivin’ in circles! Woo!

    Try watching a chess match or Golf. You’ll definetly have a better outlook towards other sports. If that fails watch Comedy Central.
