Well, its Sunday again folks and DAMN, I miss NFL football - BIG TIME. I miss it so much so, I changed my avatar - I really couldn't bear to look at it for the time being.
Since the NHL went the way of ubergreed, I am no longer a fan of that game anymore and if (when) they ever decide to come back, I really don't give a fuck - they lost permanently time. (With my luck, watch the LEAFS win like 5 cups in a row - NOT! LOL)
The NBA IS damn entertaining and this year the playoffs may actually be someting to enjoy from the very first round - not as in years past. But I'm reading that if they don't resolve their CBA concerns, there may be (albeit remote) a very microscopic chance they may str*ke.
And because MLB has been tarnished due to its labor issues/greed from days gone by, MLB is not for me and I don't give a fuck about MLB anymore either.
NASCAR is fun but 4 hours of oval racing gets to be VERY monotanous after the first 45-60 minutes and besides, I'm sick of the usual guys winning it. I wish Greg Biffle was contending.
Lately, I've been watching some football (or soccer as its called over here) and have begun to enjoy it - sort of. The games are not as boring as I once envisioned. I mean, there are two halves, which is cool. The punter, I mean goalie, can really hoof the nuts of the ball and there is a fair bit of tackling going on too! However, soccer players are pussies in the sense that if you breath or sneeze on them they fall to the ground like a ton of bricks have been released on them. And what's this clutching of the shin stuff? Aw c'mon.
Aussie Rules Football - now thats a sport you can really sink your teeth into! The players are big & tough, they beat the fuck out of each other, there's MONSTER tackles and if your lucky, you can witness breaking bones, the ball looks so familiar, it can bring a tear to your eye. Even the James Bond dude that signals a touchdown in the endzone is too cool for words.
Oz Football definitely does rock.
But...
I still miss NFL. Anyone out there that feels the same?
