My daughter's boyfriend, Josh, in an attempt to cause me to realize the lure of sports, directed me to what he calls the "Most Intelligent Football Board Online."
He directed me to Cyberhigh Stadium: www.denverbroncos.cjb.net
OK. I went there. I clicked on a forum. This is what I read there:
Playoff takes. Whats Yours? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think the Ravens will beat Miami, but I hope I'm wrong. I think Philly will beat Tampa, but could care less. I think the Packers will beat the 9ers, I hope I'm right. I don't really know what to think about the Raiders/Jets game, but I hope the Jets win. My playoff picks look like this Ravens Philly Packers Jets
What gives? I don't understand what's the lure of this kind of discussion??????? This is the strangest thing to consider--and to hear Josh keeps coming back to this board to read what someone else has listed.
Stranger than Strange, WordWrapped

Despite my having been male for as long as I can remember, I've yet to figure this "guy thing" out either. Heck, I still don't even know why we US'ns call modified rugby football, when the rest of the world plays REAL football.

Dear AnnaS:
Care to translate the Latin? There are those of us who don't know it.
Best regards, WW

translate the Latin
You were probably baffled by that loquitur. It's a deponent verb; passive in form, active in meaning.
The thing speaks for itself.

And me, I'm one of the few Americans who has absolutely no interest in football. Or maybe the ones who are interested are just more vocal...
