Football

Football kicked off last week - Hooray!  But I do have a small complaint.  Why do we have to start the pre-season in AUGUST, which is the hottest month in this very hot country.  Every year we read of players in colleges, and high schools suffering in the heat and some even die!  The actual season is just 16 games long and with the play-offs it's all over by the end of January - Duh?

So why do we have to start so early, and finish when winter is upon us?

Once football is over we are stuck with basketball, which a dreadfully slow game designed for seven-foot tall Negroes with pituitary gland problems.  It might be bearable if they raised the hoop a couple of feet, so that the smaller players could have a shot.

The game seems to last forever, and always comes down to the last couple of minutes and ends with a point or two difference, like 112 to 114.  Not a lot of fun at all.

Now if we began football in say October, when baseball is coming to an end, it would go on until the end of March when the pre-season for baseball has just started.

I have of course, not mentioned ice hockey as it's not a serious game and consists of men with no front teeth hitting each other with sticks.
