If you're sitting around like a wet turd and it's between noon and 2PM put on BBC America. England vs. Wales in rugby on the opening day of a pretty cool tournament that lasts about 6 weeks.
Quick and Dirty: Rugby is the exact same as North American football except you can only lateral and you can punt as often as you'd like, which comes in handy when you're pinned in your own end or if you think you can get to that punt before the other team. If you think the NFL is about field position you ain't seen nothing yet. Bbbbbaby you just ain't seen nothing yet. Turnovers in your own end lead to scores for the other team, so sometimes it's better to let the opposition muck around in their own 50.
Oh yeah, another difference - each player will play 80 minutes, or if they're taken out that's it for them - no "subs." A little different than the average NFL player's 88 minutes of actual play a season.
As far as hockey goes bar rugby at noon does not bode well for a Flyers sighting in a town where they're not the home team. Probably have to watch the Rangers get BFed by Ilya. That's if I'm still alive.
My one word of advice for you, and I'm sure Fran will cover this in the gameday (YOU BETTER FRAN YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!) - watch out for Monsieur Cal Clutterbuck tonight. (Excuse me, I'm working on my temper. I rented Anger Management staring Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler and planned on watching it but my FUCKING DVD PLAYER WOULDN'T....sorry, again.) This is he:
This is God's day. God made me and God made beer. Enjoy it.
ps - of the top 4 sports in the US is this an accurate account of the game day alcoholics?
1. Football
2. Hockey
3. Baseball
4. Tennis
Baseball probably would have an edge but I consider having your games outdoors during the summer cheating. Of course everyone's going to be drinking Bud Light Limes. People who are operating on cancer patients drink Bud Light Limes all day in the summer- that's why it's called the summer."
