Okay that football game is over.
My favorite part. Prince. He hasn’t age at all. Kind of scary.
Don’t get me wrong about the game. I love sports. I just don’t get football. At all. Even when I make an effort to understand the rules. Actually, I get it even less when I understand the rules.
I simply don’t get its appeal.
I admit a bias to watching women play sports. When I found out there was a professional women’s football league in my area, I decided to go to the games. The season starts at the end of April. I hope the games don’t collide with the Sacramento Monarchs schedule.
Sacramento Monarchs, Seattle Storm, women’s basketball in general . . . Well, let’s just say that’s where my sports obsession lives and breathes.
And tennis.
Tennis has been my comfort food for as long as I can remember. I still see in my mind’s eye Jan Kodes winning Wimbledon in 1973 because the major players boycotted the championship that year. I have no idea why I’ve remembered that all these years. Something about the drama surrounding that particular Wimbledon and the fact that Kodes would have never had a chance to win if the likes of Rod Laver and John Newcombe or Ken Rosewell had been playing.
Now if you want to see a super game. Women’s basketball. Thursday February 8th ESPN2 7:00 Eastern time:
Duke vs. North Carolina — numbers 1 and 2 and the only undefeated teams left.
Can’t wait for that one.
