Next thing you know, the kid goes out to compete for real and expects to dominate and then finds out that the world doesn't always work like it does back home.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-76111793447528772011-12-06T17:50:44.283-05:002011-12-06T17:50:44.283-05:00After having my ass handed to me a number of times...After having my ass handed to me a number of times, I've learned not to get cocky and to never underestimate ANYONE.

Ha is all I can say, even though it is not so nice.<br /><br />Great game yesterday. We sat behind Andy Dalton's parents. Super nice people. Before I knew who they were and after we scored for the second time, I told them not to worry, that the Steelers would give up a few scores towards the end. Once the Steelers were at 35, I told them to forget what I said. I think the drubbing has been the best part of my birthday weekend (followed closely by the free beer and free parking).Faciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165861407055831754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-41335111174032120942011-12-05T18:35:56.580-05:002011-12-05T18:35:56.580-05:00Mundane

Back in the day, we used to call that “writing checks with your mouth that your ass can’t cash.”<br /><br />I was never one to trash talk; I much preferred to let the game to the talking and let the chips fall where they may.<br /><br />This one game was an anomaly and not just because I actually scored two goals. I was rarely lavish in my post-goal celebrations. I’d usually just emit a simple guttural howl and then bump gloves with my teammates. I never involved the goalie. But in this instance I felt it necessary to highlight the boy’s short-sightedness in evaluating his opponents that night. Loudly. ‘Cuz I’m all about the education of our young. <br /><br />Didn’t matter if I scored or someone else did. I’d skate around him going, <i>”Nice reflexes boy! Where’s all that speed you were telling us about? How ‘bout that shot? Not bad for old men, huh? Better go get your mama; you need some help in that cage.”</i>bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-17961043423733631972011-12-05T12:32:22.393-05:002011-12-05T12:32:22.393-05:00I'm a terrible trash-talker and also a terribl...I'm a terrible trash-talker and also a terrible winner. "I'm really sorry I beat you; I know how much this meant to you." So I kind of admire this kid, although obviously I'd think to make sure I had actual skillz before spewing shutout talk.Unapologetically Mundanehttp://www.unapologeticallymundane.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-27786899205667780342011-12-04T22:31:10.040-05:002011-12-04T22:31:10.040-05:00Jessica,
