okay G A M E R S are you ready for another awful thread about sports? Well... I mean okay. [Authors Note: I am publishing this a day after I wrote the bulk of it, so Some of the other stuff that happened this weekend will be on my next post]
As I sit here at my computer with a million college football games on in the background, I am reminded about how crazy college football can get. Maybe it's the frat boys, the passion for the game everyone has, the pageantry, or maybe just the absolute fuckin bafoonery shown on free television every week. Mind you everything I link in this thread has been captured in the last week(ish).
Look, sometimes it's the little things like a floating pylon cause the rain is so heavy and the university refuses to refurbish the stadium, to big immaculate plays that show why football is better than basketball in every single way. And I think that college football in particular has a flair for the ridiculous. It's not just the players on the field either. It's the production around it. "College Gameday" is a travelling show on ESPN that goes to the "best game of the week" and is the pre-show for the day. The posters of the people in the background alone makes it worth it, but sometimes the guests on the show get radical. Former NFL punter turned WWE announcer showed up today and cut a wrestling style promo on another analyst on the panel, much to the crowds joy. That being said, the signs are often the best part.
Onto the NBA....okay that's enough.
Lastly, who ever said that rowing isn't a hard sport, or one that "real men" don't play, simply was not present at the Head of the Charles race in Boston this past weekend.
Okay thanks for wasting some time reading my words and clicking my links. I gotta go, my Uber here...
