That'...You are so right and well said, Cranky.<br /><br />That's one reason I mostly ignore the "TV football color analysts." They're just guys getting paid to yadda, yadda, yadda. <br /><br />I just yell when my favorite color gets to the goal and eat chips.

Wouldn't that interfere with any hangovers?<br /><br />I had Latin in high school, too. So now I get to explain to people what "i.e." means vs. "e.g." And then people always say that it's so ironic that I'm the one who speaks English as a second language and ends up explaining stuff like that to them.Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-66832570164685362212013-12-31T18:57:35.480-05:002013-12-31T18:57:35.480-05:00HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU & MRS.

The only people who can understnd the analysts' terminology are the ones who already understand the game.<br /><br />Try this if you wanna be confused: Try to learn English rugby by listening to their color analysts on TV. I understand the basics thanks to Rugby For Dummies (really!), but listening to these guys in the UK announcing who was being penalized and for what IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE no less is nearly impossible!<br /><br />SLowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-41370271769405774002013-12-31T09:18:04.524-05:002013-12-31T09:18:04.524-05:00Very well described and explained,
