My possum family legacy, and other stuff
Sunday, June 18th, 2006I feel like such a man lately. I’ve watched more sports this week than in the entire last year probably. Every day it’s go to work, come home, get something to eat and watch whatever World Cup match it was I recorded for the day. ESPN and ESPN2 have quickly become the only channels I watch anymore. I should’ve waited to upgrade my cable package after the tournament is over. Who needs Encore Love when the World Cup’s on? Girls, that’s who.
It’s been quite an exciting/depressing/hopeful/maddening/desperate week for Americans watching the world’s biggest sporting event this week. It wasn’t looking too good for us, but then when Ghana beat the Czech Republic yesterday we finally had something to hope for! I think we played really well yesterday against Italy, and I was happy with the draw, considering we were down to nine men. I blame Floridians for that–specifically the old, rich senile ones living in Palm Beach County. Because those old bone bags don’t know how to fill out a voting ballot, George W. became president and subsequently proceeded to destroy public relations with every other country in the world, which is why all foreigners hate Americans (for sake of argument…no comments on the issues of obesity or stupidity), causing referees to be biased against the American World Cup team, albeit even if it’s only subconsciously, and leading them to give red cards undeservedly in one of the most important games we might play. Obviously, the only solution is to deport all people in south Florida over 65 to New Jersey, from whence they first came. Then maybe our national soccer team will get a fair shake in future.
