French game on cable

[Mark Padgett]

I was flipping channels last night and caught a French FEEBLE game on The Cheese Channel. The Surrendermonkeys beat the Rifledroppers 23.47 to 14.85 (they keep the score in metric) when Jean-Claude Girlyman accidentally bounced the ball off his nose into the other team's basket in the final seconds. The most amusing thing is that when a player is called for a foul, he raises both his hands over his head. The announcer said it is not a rule, just habit. At the end of the game, the loser hoisted a white flag. BTW - their jersey numbers were in metric also and the ball was a rhomboid. They had designer nets and rims.
