Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostBaseball? Pitcher throws the ball to the catcher. The catcher throws it back. Once in a while something else happens to briefly enliven the tedium, except in a "perfect game" in which the tedium never ends. I'll grant that it is slightly more exciting than golf, but that's a rather low bar.

I enjoy watching it because it is pretty complex; each member of the team has to perform his job correctly in order to win each play (as opposed to baseball, where it's basically a pitcher dueling a batter, and the rest of the team only gets involved if the pitcher loses).

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostIt is complex because there are a lot of good athletes with an instinctive feel for the game involved. A team playing like you did as kids would struggle to defeat high school teams, let alone a professional team.
All you would need to do is start playing the National Anthem and then run a touchdown while they were all kneeling.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostLooking at virtually all professional sports there is a world of difference in how they're played today than they were back in the 50s and 60s.

It wasn't uncommon for players to still be half drunk when they were out on the field. Many still party pretty hard but they're now much more careful not to let it interfere with their job. Plays made routinely today were considered exemplary back then.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law.
