Sports It’s early yet

Now begins the pessimism. A 17 point lead before halftime really doesn’t mean that much. Seattle has plenty of time to come back, and the offensive weapons to score a bunch of points. So no one here at Bruno’s is gloating much, except for drunken motherfuckers who I wouldn’t associate with if they didn’t happen to drink in the same place I drink.
But I am liking how much we’re hitting people. And hitting people is the essence of American football.
"Football embodies the worst aspects of American culture: violence punctuated by committee meetings."
Yeah, quote George Will. Now go look up George Carlin's routine on football v. baseball. Then think of something original.
Nah, I'm just joshin' ya. Really, though, football isn't violent at all; the players are big overstuffed pansies who couldn't cope without all that gladiator armor on. Try it with short-shorts and sleeveless vests, then you'd have a game. Your average NFLer'd have a coronary after 30 seconds of rugby or Australian Rules. Of course, they're all going to have coronaries before they're fifty anyways.
