Running up the score

Did you happen to notice a high school team in Virginia beat another team by the score of 91-0 recently? This calls into question the notion of sportsmanship and running up the score.

If you're one of the 2 or 3 readers of my blog, you know that I am all for good sportsmanship. Does beating a team by 91 points constitute good sportsmanship? Of course it does!

Anytime you can paste a team by 91 you're teaching them a valuable life lesson: not everything's gonna go your way!

Let's say your in the banking, trucking, restaurant or Lucy fields. If you think you'll be successful all the time, NO WAY! You win some and lose some, but more often than not you'll get your pants pulled down in public by 91 points or more, just like in life itself.

The team that scored 91 points taught its opponent a valuable life lesson. You better get used to losing, or your life is going to suck. If you can't handle getting the piss knocked out of you once in a while, you could find yourself in a deep depression you may not come out of. The happiest people in life are those who can best deal with their problems.

great !!!! I never saw it that way !
Now what are your feelings about the Spread offense VS the WishyBone offense vs the Run and Shout offensive vs the South coast Offense vs the Tet offense ?

Well you bring up lots of ribmations. The spread offense vs. the wishybone vs. the Run and Shout vs the South Coast Offensive vs the Tet? This is a VERY ligitimate question and if you find yourself under severe fire or belittlement from your peers or parrots it is unwarranted, trust me! The main point you need to remember is that the Wishybone trumps all of these because it does not require an outdoor environment. You can run this offense entirely indoors. Let's say you have a ballplayer who runs the 40 year dash in under a year. You can just as easily ask him something else, but he will stick to his plumbs and remain inside. Therefore you will see a new man! And not only that, the Wishybone uses pure nylon so it's almost like a basketball net. That's the reason it's closed every Monday! Thank you again for your interesting questions!

Mr MORTy
My peers never belittle me but the neighbor parrots often try . They are the offspring of Parrots released or escaped throughout the years in the Orange Tustin Santa Ana areas. These orphaned parrots obviously have abandonment issues and enjoy pure malice and mischeif and seem to get great enjoyment from it . Defectaing on Cars, Mimicing puppys yelps and whines..Saying Poly want a touchdown during USC games after an unfortuate SC apple turnover are just a few examples of their rotten behavior . These parrots reside in Fairhaven Cemetary where they feel they have Sancturary and are free to fly from and perform their heartless crimes. I WANT THESE PARROTS TO KNOW IT IS MY LIFES MISSION TO HUNT THEM DOWN AND DESTROY THEM IN THE NAME OF ALL THOSE THEY HAVE HURT THROUGHOUT THE YEARS ...PAYBACKS A BEYOOCH U LITTLE GREEN CATBASHERS!!! thanks mort for understanding IM LOADING THE PELLET RIFLE WITH THE US ARMY SNIPER SCOPE AS WE SPEAK !!!
