Goat Bones

Here's a hilarious phone call I had at work today. I was calling for Lisa but her Indian personal assistant answered. The ending was partially cut off but just so you know, he starts crying and hangs up.

Soccer brings out the Derek Fisher in us all

Anyone who followed the NBA finals knows what I'm talking about. Fisher, though a great player, is allergic to human contact and frequently sprawls and flops whenever slightly touched by a defender.

It's a clever strategy when you are good enough at it to fool the referees, but no one likes a whiner or a faker. Sports and athletics is about rising above pain and weakness. Leave the drama to Broadway.

Soccer, unfortunately, incentivizes players to be sissies in attempt to draw a yellow card from the opposing team. Sometimes it is an act of desperation. When a player realizes they are beat, they flop to the ground and pretend to writhe in pain. If it were true pain, it may be an entertaining sport.

Of course, penalties are in the rules for the protection of the players. But I'm sure that if the players were allowed to play on, we would quickly see fewer "injuries" as they realize they can't afford to lay on the ground while the game goes on. In American Football you only see a player stay on the ground when they are unconscious. That's how it should be.

The following is a comical demonstration of some of the most ridiculous flops in soccer:

Soccer is a fun sport to play, especially with Brazilians. And especially when there are no refs to act for. If America is going to embrace soccer as a major sport there need to be some changes in rules of officiating. With refs that make as many mistakes as they have in this World Cup, and without the option for video review to make sure calls are accurate, the best option would be to eliminate the refs altogether. Then we can watch athletes exhibit their talents rather than their acting skills. And we can leave the flopping to this guy:
