Never underestimate the power of witches.

Gotta love the enforcer's move: pull the guy's shirt over his head so that his arms are trapped, his eyes covered, and his bare ribs exposed for a beating. Like other sports, the "farm team" and college leagues tend to be the most entertaining, because they're less predictable. I’ll stay out of the soccer wager, but agree that hockey is a worthy sport.

But I find vicarious participation in sports particularly inane. If you're discussing your opponent, you get a pass. If you're sitting on your fat butt watching others bust their butts on TV, you're just lame. AT, I gotta agree with your take on all these sports:

I can take or leave football, really. I'll definitely agree with Netmom about college and farm teams. I have to say I've never head of American sports fans (rednecks??) stampeding and killing each other at a stadium. That happens with just about every soccer game.

Hell, we're talking about getting an Atomictumor league organized this summer to play baseball, or frisbee, or whatever. Its fun, as long as you take it all with a grain of salt. OR a pint. But GAC and I are laying off the sauce for a while after last weekend. Bos: Nuh-uh. Liberal media bias. Joel: Yeah, thats a good point, all of these sports are fun to play.
