To: A strike

My old analog DVR had a good 2x speed on its fast forward and that was a great speed to watch the game. You could watch the plays develop and see what the offenses and defenses were trying to do. Now compare that to sports popular in the US which need slow motion to see details of what is happening.

I DVR the games, then fast forward at 3X speed waiting for a score to show up, then stop, watch the score, and then go (sometimes to the end) to see if there’s another score. Pretty exciting.

Still wondering what the hell they’re singing about during the whole game.

And of course, dearly love it when a guy brushes past another guy, who then collapses on the ground in “horrible” pain, and then gets up and continues. Notice how those yellow cards spread terror through the offender.

And then there’s the coach who appears to send in a “play” to the players, who then go out and then do whatever the hell it takes to try to get the ball back who then loses the ball to someone else in a moment, who then gets the ball back again . . . (am I repeating myself?)

The only good thing about the games is that there’re seldom any commercials. You can actually read a book and not get annoyed until some jackass announcer yells, “GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!
