I've got spirit, yes I do, I've got spirit, how about you?

First, I have to tell you, it's not the last game. Will this season never end? We're in the toilet bowl and lucky us, even though we lost, we get to play again. Next week. The loser of the other loser game. Yipee! I can't wait.

I've hesitated to write about little league football this year because we all know, "sports builds character", but after today, I'll share a few thoughts, along with pictures, when applicable.

First, it always sucks to lose, but it sucks even more when you know you were totally homered by the baby huey, mulleted officials who had toilet paper stuck to their shoes the entire first half.

I know that our boys can be dumb, and that we have a history of off sides and personal fouls, but, every single play? Um, no! Just because the High School team we represent with our uniforms had their state playoff game ended early because of fighting last night, doesn't mean that a bunch of 12 year old boys will do the same thing. Was it really necessary to have the cops on or near the field the entire game?

Second, coaches are stupid. Getting kicked out of a game for yelling at officials is stupid. Fans that say so much crap that they get the game stopped, the coaches talked to, and the parents on the sideline yelled at are stupid.

You, yes you dumb-dumb! I don't know who you are but I'm talking to you! Who are you to never come to a game all season and then come to the toilet bowl game where we're getting our butts kicked and you have to yell at the official so much that he stops the game and gives us a penalty. Ug!

Third, the parents. They were well behaved today, but this season has been a poor display of parenting skills. What example are you setting for your sons when you yell, carry on, teach them to taunt (especially when our team loses), interrupt the coaches half-time and end of game talks with your comments, and force the issue of going to a tournament in Las Vegas where your boys will probably get hurt and disappointed! Parent, you should be better behaved.

Fourth, Willie, my dear brother, you are such a good boy. You are a good football player, role model, hard worker, uncle, and are just so cute I could eat you up. You play hard every game and have made so much improvement this season, in spite of all the stupidity.

We all love to watch you play so hard and are so excited for basketball to start so we can see your sweet skills on the court!

You're cheering section is ready and rearin' to go.

Finally, why does football draw such an strange audience? It's of course, mostly men, full of raging testosterone who are too cool to wear jackets and just yell all the time. Today, in addition to multiple mullets, we saw some interesting stuff.

I mean, wear a jacket. How hard is it to wear a jacket? Isn't it better than trying to keep your hands warm like this?

I guess when it comes to football, the old saying is true. Crack kills!
