Saturday Thoughts
A player from Depaul's basketball team punched a member of Cincinnati's basketball team in the junk today. That's against the rules, so far as I believe. I mean, it's not stated explicitly in the rulebook: Don't punch other players in the testicles. But it's kind of understood.
For my money, the Depaul coach didn't do enough to get his player off the court. He should have gotten some of that Bobby Knight grab'em by the neck coaching mojo going, and dragged that kid off the court.
There's no place for nut-punches in college basketball.
Maybe it should be written in the rulebook.
Rule #1: Don't punch other players in their nuts.
Punishable by Drawing and Quartering.
Or castration using plastic picnic forks and knives.
In fact, I can't think of many sports where a shot to the groin would be appropriate.
Except maybe on the pro golf tour. I might be interested in watching, if Tiger Woods were looking to win the Masters, but at the same time he's having to keep an eye on Phil Mickelson, who's looking to cheapshot Tiger. Although, it would probably get old after a while.
Another exception might be those trick-shot billiards competitions. Where it might be legal to hit your opponent in the family, but only the process of making your shot, and without using the cue stick. Caveat: If you miss your shot on the table, your opponent would be allowed one free shot. With the pool cue.
How about Curling? I mean, it's guys pushing a stone down ice. Seems to me it might make the competition a little more viewer friendly for the Americans....I mean, it's guys using brooms and rocks. On ice. It looks like it was come up with during a round of drinks. A fistfight complete with dirty shots can't be far behind, can it?
Kaber Tossing? Adds a whole new element of danger, doesn't it? I mean, you're throwing a telephone pole. It would add a whole new level of excitement. Hard to throw a log when your opponent's running along side you looking to see who gets nailed.
Yep.
It's Saturday. And you may have just witnessed a new low.
