 The male mind is a stunning piece of human anatomy. Ever since the beginning of time it has been driving women mad. Sports, women, food, and power dominate the brainwaves of the masculine intellect. Daydreams are a common occurrence. In fact, a good majority of our day is spent tuning out the opposite sex just to meditate over such topics. But don’t fret ladies, this isn’t a knock against you - we just don’t know any better. Yet there is one thing about us that I do not understand - a mystery that lingers within. Something surrounding television sets that can’t be explained. Two simple words ladies - sports highlights. Sure, sounds simple doesn’t it? But don’t be fooled - there is a lot more going on here than what first meets the eye. This simple production holds supernatural control over the brainwaves of the average man. We’ve missed suppers, birthdays, dates, and countless conversations to the soothing sound of sportscasters worldwide. As any women can attest, a man can sit down at any time, anywhere, with anybody and be absolutely, completely mesmerized for whole hours at a time. But really, why watch another program when you can watch the exact same highlights over and over…….and over…….and over again. It makes sense doesn’t it? Who knows, maybe the third time over, Derek Jeter will drop that ball. Maybe just maybe, if you watch enough times, Alexander Ovechkin will fall over and miss that OT winner. Or maybe just maybe, if you watch long enough, Tie Domi will finally convert that perfect pass from Mats Sundin to actually give the cellar dwelling Leafs a W. Yet amazingly enough, day after day, the highlights stay consistently the same, never changing, gluing men to their television screens just long enough to ignore enough information from their spouse to keep them in the house for another weekend - where the cycle will begin all over again. A mystery indeed. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. This is Ned McLean and I'm out. |

I can't say that i am surprised, but it is still funnier than heck. you my friend have a way with words. You are a good writer. I thought that this was Matt writing and i couldnt believe how passionate he was about something that i didnt think he was really into. Anyways hope to see you this weekend, it will be good to catch up.
