Pardon my bitching and yelling at the TV

So Monday night I went to watch the BCS Championship at Amr's. Ignoring the somewhat surprising final outcome, since if you care(d), it's long over anyway... Amr and I make for quite an entertaining team when watching sports, expecially since we share a burning hatred for most announcers in any sport.....


Anyway, with mercilessly little remorse, we had the following exchanges:


Amr: So let me get this striaght. There's only ONE white guy starting for Florida? Wow.
Me: You mean you're supprised?
Amr: Not really.


[After a Florida touchdown, the screen flashes to Ohio State QB Troy Smith, who is inexplicably clapping]
In unison: No, Troy...
Me: You're not supposed to cheer on the other team.
Amr: Does he even know that that's bad?


[After several player bios, showing their respective majors]
Amr: Where are the Communications majors? They're usually everywhere. That department drives the football program at most schools! It's not as bad as African Studies in basketball, but I'm actually a little diappointed I haven't seen more of them....


Announcer: And here comes Troy Smith, the Heisman Trophy winner and Communications major...
In unison, with glee: There we go!!
Announcer: ... back onto the field.


[After a segment, where they showed the little card that the Florida coach made up and distributed to his players with the speech that a former Florida player gave mid-season the last time they won a National Title written on the back]
Me: What does it matter? Doesn't he realize that half his team is illiterate?

I found it funny when Amr's gf compared us to a more vulgar version of PTI.

In other news, it seems Amr is going to be in Vegas ("on work") Saturday thru Tuesday, which coincides nicely with my little sojourn. With any luck we can find time to catch at least one NFL game this weekend, more commonly known as the easiest weekend of the year to bet on football, since the home teams in the divisional round win something like 80+% of the time.

Of course, the 10am Sunday start might be tough. Almost too late to just stay up, but waaaaaaaaay too early to have gone to bed. I guess we'll see.
