What can I say? I am football-illiterate. (Spouse likes it that way. It's bad enough that I know a 38S&W from a 38S&W Special.) I am Pigskin Unwashed.

>>>>>Sports people are mean humiliators.<<<<< I think jocks are competitive about everything. I think it is their reason for existence. I just got back from the gym, I took the kids to swim, I swam laps for about half an hour, got dressed, then went into the weight room and lifted weights for the first time since I got sick. I was depressed at how little I could actually do, but it wasn't too bad, bench pressed 30 lbs, lat pull down 30 lbs, and so on, I did a little circuit of upper body stuff. What bothered me, a little, was that look that I was getting from the jocks, that eye-narrowed look down the nose, like I was made of inferior meat. They are just like that, however, it's the very essence of their being.
