A missed 52-yard Jay Feely field goal attempt for the New York Giants was recepted by Devin Hester (#23) of the Chicago Bears. He hesitated for a couple of moments, the Giants figured he was making a fair catch and taking a knee for a touchback, and then he just took off going 108 yards, from near the back of his end zone, all the way for a touchdown. It's the longest play in NFL history.

What is it about sports teams from Chicago and the number 23?
What is it about the number twenty-three in general? Any Robert Anton Wilson heads out there reading? Hehe John Madden just made an apt comment: "I'll tell you one thing, you don't wanna play poker with that guy. He fooled everybody." |

I think of 23 as a Burroughs/Psychic TV thing.
And spectator sports are lame. |

Picasso liked sports, so did Rauschenberg. Malkmus and Nostanovich are big sports fans; Lee digs his tennis. And so do I. I'm very much enjoying some ATP tennis at the Masters Tournament in Shanghai, but the above Sunday Night Football occurrence was worthy of turning the stereo down for and hearing the commentary. Federer just won and now Roddick has a match. |

I cherish that I got to see most of Jordan's games in his prime and before that, with the North Carolina Tarheels. Add to his nearly peerless athletic prowess that he's a man who could meld art with commerce tastefully and that he is a very ethical person, yet not uptight.

I think Feely is a pretty damn good kicker. Unfortunately though, he seems to only fuck up under the pressure in big mass-audience games, thus earning the bad reputation among quite a number of people like yourself. Oh, and SNL did that funny sketch about him.

The fact there are a lot of cool people who like sports (some of whom are on this very board) is not enough to convince me that sports are worth my time. I have never understood the appeal. Then again, I'm just a "big fucking poseur with a stick up his ass and an axe to grind" anyway, so my opinion isn't worth much. |

The only good thing about sports is the latently (or otherwise) homoerotic post-game showering rituals.

SC, When it comes to The Beatles, yeah, you're that all right.
There's a lot of headcases about here. A club in which I'm not only a member, I'm also the president. Just excuse me here. |

What is the Jenny Holzer slogan/aphorism? Men develop rituals so that they can touch each other. I like the NFL as a kid, and I've been a tennis fan since high school. Then, for a few formative years, I didn't pay much attention to sports either because there was always so much going on and I used to have to work a lot harder and put in long hours from time to time at various jobs. And then by the time I was in the latter half of my twenties I became a sports fan again. |

Well, the "spectator sports are lame" line is purely personal opinion.
Like I said, I know plently of cool, smart people that like sports for some reason. |
