Women… and most men should not be involved in sports.


No Idea / Saturday, February 5th, 2005

So I’m in the EDR watching ESPN and two guys are sitting at the other end of my table and Guy 1 asks Guy 2 who he thinks is gonna win “the game” tomorrow (as if it’s some ultra hip manly phrase, “the game”) and Guy 2 says the Patriots and Guy 1 then agrees. “I like the Patriots”, he says. So they talk about betting and stuff and finally Guy 2 leaves and Guy 3 takes his place. Guy 1 immediately asks who he thinks is gonna win “the game” (picture me shaking my head and flailing my hands in the air as I say “the game”) tomorrow. Guy 3 says the Patriots and Guy 1 says that’s who he thinks too. Guy 3 then says I don’t know much about the Eagles, Guy 1 says me neither, Guy 3 says I don’t think many people do. Well right there I wanted to get up and hit him over the head with my friggin tray, but I stayed calm and got up. While I’m getting up, they start talking about T.O. and how he’s not gonna be 100% and then I heard that lovely word decoy. Then I started running. I just wish people that didn’t know crap about football would just shut the f up and start knitting socks or something, and if I didn’t already say it, shut the f up. How on Earth can people not know about the Eagles besides T.O.? I mean they have made it to the NFC Championship game 4 times in a row, 3 without T.O.. That means that only 5 teams in the last 4 years have made it that far in the NFC. If you don’t know anything about the team that has been there 4 years in a row, what the hell do you know about? “I don’t know about the teams that almost get there, I only know the teams that do get there, because they’re the winners, and I only root for winners”, is what he should have said. Apparently he should learn something about shutting the f up. Damn.

What I’m listening to: Silence
