Proof of work, part 25

Reporter's notebook: Football!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy already sent me a note saying that he's registered the domain name sportsaholics.anonymous (or something like that) and is seeking professional help. I told him if anyone ever questions his loyalty as an NFL fan to have them call me, and I'll testify that he's a true football nut.

Of course, I'm not saying he's the greatest football fan in Afghanistan. There was another guy in the room who could name nearly all the starters on the field (Eagles and Raiders) and kept yelling at Jeff Garcia for stinking up the joint....

Leo, not sure what highlights you get to see, and not that this ONE player will affect the rest of the team and possibly rally them up from the depths of being below 500 by the end of August...but dang! Not sure what was better...Chase Utley's scoring from second on an infield grounder during an eight-run seventh inning, or as CU slid into home, Harry Kalas' call at the plate "Chase Utley YOU ARE THE MAN!!!". Anyways, what's the under/over for how many trips via Chinooks/KC Tankers/C-130 Hercules/UH-60 Blackhawks/Humvees(which my sister is now certified to drive by the U.S. Army)/camels will it take for you to get home, or at least to Germany? Hey, at least when you get there, the World Cup festivities have now long been over. Although there is a pretty good chance that half of Italy is still there partying in the streets celebrating their victorious triumph over the stinking French....be sure to bring your earplugs if you plan on getting any sleep. Be safe.
