As if there’s going to be college football this year. 

 

I'd give it a snowball's chance on my driveway tomorrow.  Big Ten says all fall sports will play in-conference games only.  They hope to retain flexibility  And the Big Ten commissioner couldn't promise that even these games would proceed.

 

(Oh, it's only supposed to be about 105 tomorrow here, BTW.)

The unbearable oppression of mild inconvenience.

 

Best summation of 21st century America I've seen so far.

 

South Africa...eww.  Yeah.  Last 2 weeks, case numbers are skyrocketing.  Looking at 1 new case per 5000 people per day, which to me kinda feels like the point where panic should be setting in.  The growth is particularly bad...they went from 13th as of close of data day yesterday at WoM...to, probably, 10th today.

 

The US is going to smash through 60,000 and set another high water mark.  The dismal question is, can we stay under 70,000.  OH, which, BTW...66,000 is when we get to that 1 per 5000 mark.......

Yeah, but what most of the world calls football isn't a real sport.😏

 

At least it's properly named, because its players actually use their feet. And have to be able to run for longer than five seconds at a time. 😛

 

As John Cleese once remarked, the appropriate name for American football would be, "big leather egg fight."

They go a whole five seconds before falling down and pretending they're hurt?

 

It's one of the very few sports where the men go to great lengths to show what fragile babies they are.  Ooh, ooh, the man almost made contact with me.  I shall throw myself to the ground with great enthusiasm and thrash in the throws of unbearable agony.
