Most Excited About the UFL Award Goes to Me

Professional football is coming back to Orlando, and I'm talking real football. Not played in a basketball arena on a 50 yard field, no interceptions by fans, and no air conditioning to keep you cool. Thats right, at the games you'll get to sweat as much as the players. Last night was the secret draft, and Orlando did a pretty good job. Brooks Bollinger who played with the Cowboys last year will be quarterback. Brooks led a drive against the Giants last year for a touchdown. And if that doesn't get you excited injury prone Chris Perry was also selected by Orlando. Chris Perry was a first round pick for the Bengals in 2004 and has 2 more NFL touchdowns than I ever will.

Other teams in the UFL will be in Las Vegas, New York, and San Francisco. Lets hope that in the league of two worded cities the city with one word will be King.

Everyone else football

Even with training camp and arena football going on you might find that you still want football.  Nothing will quench your thirst for football, but soccer can distract you for long enough.  The Euro Cup has been going on for over a week now, and other than wanting to buy my parents dog a Bucs jersey, I haven't really thought of it.  The games might be low scoring but it more than makes up for it with a lack of commercials.  There's no need to watch a commercial for a girl drink that is trying to be "hard" when everyone else football is on the tv.

One of the few things better than a corner kick is listening to Jim Rome bitch about how he hates soccer.  What's that, Jim?  Your show isn't going to be on at all this week because of soccer, a sport you hate.  I'm sorry soccer isn't as exciting as golf, Jim, but some sports require you to not smoke and drink while you play them.  I don't even know if Jim Rome is really big into golf but today he was bitching about soccer then started talking about golf.  I don't have any problems with golf, I just don't think someone that makes a living talking about sports should ignore the most popular sport in the world.

Europe, keep turning out great soccer players to entertain me, and keep wearing those scarves.  You're like the cousin that went to art school then moved to NYC.
