I Don't Want to Play Football

I suppose the question of the day (three times and counting) is "Did you watch the Superbowl?"

Of course not. Competitive sports suck. Everyone should just play for fun, not for glory, because that's when feelings get hurt and people cry and stuff. Plus, football is totally homoerotic.

As the great poets Belle and Sebastian put it: I don't want to play football/I don't understand the rules of the game/...I don't understand/The thrill of running, catching, throwing/taking orders from a moron/grabbing for the sweaty crotches/getting hit by people I don't know...

Do I feel like I missed the spectacle? Kind of. But those who watched it missed out on a nice evening of Nick Drake and the Velvets.
