But if only we could keep up the football fouls... I would give many more people red cards in bars and get them thrown out.
The biting may be going too far thought.
a.k.a. "Normally you look like sh#!." (the world's most backhanded compliment)

My Name Is Lauren And I Love Sports.
Tom Boy. Guys' Girl. Whatever you want to call it. I love sports and I am not ashamed of that.
I scream at the TV. In fact, my office learned to leave me alone and ignore the screams from my office during an important USA event at the Olypmics this past summer.
I know all of the NFL referee signals...
No, that is not a new dance. They are (i) Holding; (ii) Illegal Contact; and (iii) Loss of Down.
And my Sundays consist of constantly refreshing my phone to check my fantasy football team, while flipping between many games on my NFL Sunday ticket or scanning the TV screens at Goose Island Brewery (right around the corner).
And when my Chargers (or any of my other teams) lose, I look something like this...
But I also get the most satisfaction from playing sports. I believe that playing team sports as a child instilled many important values in me and taught me vital lessons about teamwork. I feel stronger when I play sports. I am smarter when I am regularly playing sports. I am happier when I am regularly playing sports.
Right now I am unable to play for a month because of a sports injury (par for the course). But these women just made my night and continue to inspire me... As of right now, they are leading China 3-1.
GO USA!
What inspires you? What makes you stronger? Happier?

Futbol (aka Soccer).
Today is the first day of soccer in the Olympics... Let's do this Team USA! Make some noise...
Here is the confirmed schedule for Team USA so far...
Women's Team:
First Round Group G - USA, Korea, France, Columbia
July 25, 2012 - U.S. Women vs. France Women (12 p.m. EST)
July 28, 2012 - U.S. Women vs. Colombia Women (12 p.m. EST)
July 31, 2012 - U.S. Women vs. Korea DPR Women (12:15 p.m. EST)
Unfortunately the Men's team didn't qualify for this Olympics. Yeah, I don't get it either considering how far we advanced in the most recent World Cup. C'mon boys, get your sh!* together.
(insert feminist joke here).
Update: The US Women's national team beat France 4-2! F&*%^ yeah!
