Wow, Bong, you must be a life reader!

Yup, anybody with any interest in sports must be a TV addled and addicted loser in a tank top t-shirt with chip grease on it!

Bong, there are many interesting things in life. More than your dogged pursuit of establishing credentials as "punker-than-anyone" and "tiki-er than anyone" that you so frequently obsess about.

You are right about parroting what my hypnotic cathode ray box tells me, too! I quoted my first post directly from "Tiki Sports Network" - you got me. They don't talk regular sports, just which thing is winning in the Most Tiki category.

I'll leave off on the goals comment, as you are just being your usual I-am-superior self.
I bet our goals are very similar. Raise good kids, have a career that is not onerous and is stimulating, and find as many things of interest as we can to do and learn about. I can't and won't blow up my TV, I love the Simpsons too much to do that to myself. From your disdain for anything that requires sitting still, I will admit to being an avid reader, as well. If I'm sitting still, I gotta be reading something.

Free your mind, Bong. Throw off the hatred of things that, since alot of people seem to be interested, must therefore be crap. Sports are a self contained story. Nice, concise beginning and end, they have numbers involved (I like numbers), they are a social movement that let's people from different areas have friendly banter about. They ones that I strive to always get better at catch my interest most. This thread had been about football locations rather than outcomes, by the way. I am the world's shortest power forward. Probably the shortest guard, too, but my brain says play the wing and hit the boards. So, I have a love for basketball. I enjoy watching professionals play sometimes. I am in awe that they can do the things they do. I try to learn how they do some off those things when I watch. I love cycling, too. I am interested in just how fast Lance Armstrong (famous cyclist, Bong) can go. Seeing some of the Tour De France on the tube is fascinating. Not three hours fascinating, but even taking 20 minutes to see how they move and pass and corner is killer to an amateur like me. Maybe sometimes you sit and watch surfers who are great. Strike that, knowing you, you call them crap and insincere and point out how you are the only true owner of surf spirit. Try looking at what others do that you enjoy doing, it can be fun.

Your point about turning watching into a lifestyle is well made, but too universally applied. I watch the news when I can. Doesn't mean I'm addicted to news and only parrot what the anchors say, it means the world and the people interest me because I realize my opinions may not be the ONLY ones that are valid. There is a lesson there, Mr. Bong.

Now, back to the topic at hand....

I heard a good LSU joke.

What is the difference between the LSU Tigers and the New Orleans Saints?

The LSU Tigers will be playing football in the Super Dome in January.

Ok, got a few more from a friend from Nebraska. he likes self depricating football humor:

Q: What does the "N" on the Nebraska football players' helmets stand for?

A: "Nowledge!"

Q: What do you do if you find a Nebraska grad on your porch?

A: Pay him for the pizza!
