[!@#$%!]

jenn-- oh i see, it's totally random. sorta. i guess word-based? chosen like a true writer. hmmm... anyway, purple is nice, ha ha. i thought the viking name was due to the norwegian ethnicity of many minnehahans. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Minnesotan )

anyway i saw the vikings game last thursday and i favored the saints-- forgive me. this is for no other reason that i think new orleans is cool as shit, plus after all the sorrow they've experienced in recent years they deserve a little consolation-- nothing to do with their winning their superbowl last year or making an easy bet.

bytor, i don't think i'm ready to enjoy visualizing a radio-described game. my uncle who is a soccer megafanatic is capable of doing that but i always had a hard time with that. then again if i had money on it i'd want to know what's going on...

rob-- the thing is with soccer the action is more continuous and slower so you can follow with your eyesight. football is very quick so it requires a dozen inspectors and cameras to figure out what's going on. but maybe i'll be able to read the field better as i learn.

also, i still don't know what players are good and what players suck and all that but i imagine i'll catch on eventually.

and also, if discussing football is going to bring jennthebenn back to "the underboard" (sy gossip basement level 3) then it's worth the effort.
