...I have, on occasion, found myself kinda looking in the direction of the tv screen at my favorite dive bar while a soccer game was on. I've seen bits from both men's and women's soccer and it has always impressed me how much more melodramatic the male players are.

Is that the term to describe the state in which one is "rolling around on the ground while crying for mommy"?

Because that is what I and a few of my non-soccer fan friends call it.

this is an apocryphal story I overheard......


One coach was describing how incoming college freshman are chosen for the football versus the basketball teams.

You have the guys run into the woods late at night.
The ones that miss the trees go on the basketball team.
