Intelligent Footballers?

Aliantha · 08-25-2007, 04:53 AM

I just heard a comentator say, "[the coach] must question the intelligence of some of his players..."

OK, what planet does this guy come from? Oh, that's right, he's an ex footballer himself.

Yeah yeah I know there are some smart ones out there, but they're pretty few and far between. Any coach that doesn't realize he needs to put things as simply as possible has probably had too many head knocks himself.

Here's something else from the same match. I acutally thought I'd post this for jimbo. The team is 'The Roosters' and one of their supporters has a large banner which says, "We'll beat you with our cocks".

My oldest child just left 2 years at Univ of South Carolina, the Gamecocks. The wife went up to visit her last year and came home with a shirt to wear at the gym. The front says in big red letters,
COCKS.

I played futbol with a guy who got an academic free ride to Harvard.... course I heard he boozed his way out.

futbol?

Aliantha · 08-25-2007, 06:25 AM

Ummm...typo? lol

South American spelling, reduces confusion over which game we're talking about... or so I thought.

DanaC · 08-25-2007, 06:30 AM

ahhh. Sorry. For a second I thought it was some other way of spelling Fussbal (don't know how to produce the esset on this keyboard). Why I thought someone might get a scholarship for playing table football I really can't answer :P

Aliantha · 08-25-2007, 06:30 AM

Well personally, I thought you were making a joke about the intelligence of most footballers...in keeping with the thread title and all. lol

How do you keep a Gamecock from masturbating?

Paint their junk orange, they will only beat it once every five years.

Ive always thought that other people talk way cooler than I do, and this thread is proof. 'Footballer' is way cooler than soccer player, head knocks is infinitesmally (take that!) better than 'header'

Other than that I have nothing productive to add to this thread

DanaC · 08-27-2007, 08:19 PM

head knocks? wtf is a head knock?

btw: infinitesimally

minnmirman · 08-27-2007, 08:45 PM

haha wow I was under the impression that I had created that word

Years ago I bought a bumber sticker at the bookstore there. It proudly says, "You can't beat our cocks!"
