Exclamation Just shoot me now!

A buddy called a little while ago and asked me if I'd help him out by working two mens church league games this coming weekend. I must not have been fully awake because before I could come to my senses, I said yes.

Kids, let this be a lesson to you. Never answer the phone before taking your meds.

Call you local video store. See if they have a movie called Church Ball. Rent it. Watch it. Laugh your a$$ off. And then call your buddy back and tell him you have to accompany your wife to some family day with the in-laws. You'll be much better off for it.

You might could make some money here. Have someone take a video camera with you and tape it. A lot of times these mens league games turn into what would make for a good episode of the Jerry Springer Show. If it's good enough maybe you can sell it to him.

That flick has Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Gary Coleman? That has to be the largest discrepancy in height in a movie EVER!

I have seen "Church Ball." I must concur - it is funny and ture to life with my experiences with playing and reffing church ball games. I refuse to play anymore, the last time, I had a break away layup and some 24 year old kid catches up just after I released the ball and takes me out (was 45 at the time), did not even try to play the ball. One of the dirtiest, cheapest plays I have ever witnessed and I was on the receiving end. I was sore for a week. It was one of the few times in my life where I actually wanted to retaliate and hurt someone. I am "retired" from church ball.

I've never worked a Church league, but a few years ago I got talked into working a Church tournament. When I got on site, I found out that they had lots of sponsors so the prize money was $1000 to the winning team. I could have just stood at center court and made the T mechanic all day. On my way out I went to the organizers and asked them to take me off their mailing list. It was the worst display of sportsmanship I've ever seen.

Church Ball... where every game starts with a prayer and ends with a fight!

Yes. In fact, he had a dual role. If you look in the stands, you will see him playing both Jack Nicholson and Dyan Cannon - at the same time!!!

Mark,

After packing away your fishnets, how hard is to get them back out after you thought they were packed away until next year?

Not a problem. I have a few pair I wear under my normal everyday clothes. Please don't tell my wife.
