black cracker online: football hate

apparently my noo yawk homeboy josh alan friedman doesn't like football. neither do i, but because i play music in bars in texas, where (as he notes) during football season you have to wait for "the game" to end before beginning your set, i've developed the ability to talk about sports as though i 1) know anything about 'em and 2) giveashit. it's been really interesting to me this season, watching my english major daughter get all geeked over tcu football. kind of like when the yankees and mets started signing japanese pitchers and my dad -- who took me to _one_ yankee game when i was a kid, under duress -- became a baseball fan.
