Hocky’s OK since they all have heavy clubs and razor sharp skates, but football is dreadfully lacking. The linesmen need short swords, or tridents and nets to make the game really interesting. And the defensive backs should have javelins they can use to stop the runner.

bingo. & bingo for seeing in the current faceoff between congress and the President, a brawl at the root of which is a baffled, shamed realization that the USA has jumped the shark in many a moral and common sense way. the fear beneath the aggression.

Fighting is how hockey self polices dirty hits. It serves a purpose. Congress doesn’t.

meh, I miss the days of the old bench brawls. Hockey’s gone wuss in the last 20 years. Oh and too many teams to keep track of.
