Football is Football

1. Good Morning from Omaha,

   I watched some of the combine last year and thought the best part was rich eisen and his friends having a ball trying to perform the same drills as the potential draftees. I guess I am not as addicted to football as I thought but it helps that a local independent station is playing one football movie a week. Last week they showed “remember the titans” with denzel washington. I haven’t looked to see what the movie is this weekend but hope its a good one. I always like north dallas 40 and brians song was great.maybe this weekend.

   have a great weekend.

   Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

2. You could run this same cartoon for March Madness coming up. I can’t wait. That is the only thing that can cure my PFSSS

3. I love me some pigskin (esp. College ball), but this is why I pity those who only follow it: While the other sports can go on for nine months a season, football is done in six months – that’s half a year of waiting. It also hampers the joy you may have for other sports: Hockey and Hoops are halfway done, and Baseball’s endgame goes into the start of football.

   While it may also be the most popular sport in the country, it would show a complete disregard for the safety of the athletes to stretch out the season any further, regardless of how much money they make.

   If you’re looking for something different to draw about in the next few months, you’ve never done an MMA toon! Aurora’s own and former CU fullback Brendan Schaub can get a title shot if he wins his PPV fight on Mar. 19. Just letting you know…

4. People with PFSSS will be watching the NFL network with baited breath to get their “medication” for anything football. Some will get by with basketball, hockey, or baseball and some of us will just crawl into our computers.

   Speaking of computers, your comment on the impending upgrade reminded me of this:

   “There is nothing wrong with your computer set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your computer. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to… The Outer Drew Limits.”

   Apologies to “The Outer Limit” folks.

5. What’s MMA and PPV???????????

7. Dear Drew,

   I caught a little bit of the NFL combine. To me it had all the fascination of the qualifying rounds of any Olympic racing heat of any sport. I mean how many times can you watch a 40 sprint without getting bored? OOOOOO a vertical leap. Riviting stuff huh.

   I did TIVO it so that when I have a night when sleep is difficult I can watch it and get put to sleep within 5 minutes.

   All the best,

   Louis

   P.S. Instead of calling this PFSSS it should be called PRESS. Post Recessive Entertainment Stress Syndrome.

8. Thanks, Gene! And I will try to retain that information in my “small brain” as it is more than my heart could hold.
