So I get up and go to the bathroom (we don't freeze the game cause we don't have any real concern that I will miss anything). I come back in and the score is still 0-0. No surprise. Mick is real interested in rewinding the game to show me a "pass" that I missed.

I am trying to get interested but I remember the grass needs cutting. And watching the grass grow is infinitely more interesting than the current game. So I cut the grass, get a shower and come back in. Mick is all mad about some calls and missed opportunities. Score ends up 0-0 in OT - or EXTRA TIME - what's that all about?????
Too funny!!!

I LOVE soccer, LOVE IT! When I am playing, that is. Yes, I am 30 years old and still play soccer year round (2 outdoor seasons, 3 indoor sessions). I just can't get into it on TV.

It is the same with Baseball. I LOVE to play (softball). Haven't missed a season in 22 years!! Can't stand to watch it on TV.

Yet I love to watch 43 guys drive circle after circle on a Sunday afternoon I can't explain it! Go Tony!
