There Are Reasons....

One reason I don't watch much sports on television....

I happened to be watching the U of M/ND game yesterday, just a bit in the second half. The announcers were saying how much the ND receivers were dominating the U of M defensive backs (and today's paper confirmed that, 360+ yards). Yet, there was a late break-up of a pass and the U of M dbs were huffin' and puffin' like they had just won the Super Bowl (or whatever the college championship is called). Perhaps if these guys spent as much time, energy, and effort covering who is supposed to be covered, there wouldn't be enough energy, etc. left for fake huffin' and puffin'.

And, of course, this is de rigeur, the normal state of affairs. So, a defense gives up more than 500 yards to the opponent, in a single game, mind you, and struts all over the place.

Then, today, during the Lions' game (And why am I watching them??? I don't know, except I really wasn't watching, singing and playing musical instruments with Ashley and, soon, grading papers), some guys scores a touchdown, in the first game of the year!, and he starts some gyrating in the end zone. It's the first game of the year!!!!

Yep, they can do all this stuff. It's not illegal. But I don't have to watch or pay much attention. Others can, but I don't have to--until Congress passes a law fining me if I don't watch.
