Tomorrow I'm playing in the annual Encino Turkey Bowl which highlights a bunch of Jews getting together to relive our athletic years. This event presents a funny love/hate situation for many reasons. I love football and most of the people that play. I hate that we have "opening ceremonies" at 8am and most of the people that play.
Flag football always reminds me of the scene in Wedding Crashers where they play a "friendly game of touch football" that turns ugly when Zach (pronounced "Sssack") takes it way too seriously. I hate to admit it but I'm Sssack. I don't play for any other reason but to win. I have a competitive problem, I know, but I just don't understand why wake up, why go out and play if you don't want to win. Its the reason you play any "game"...to win.
There is even a Budweiser radio commercial for it. Its called "real men of genius - Mr. Overly competitive touch football guy". Honestly, I would rather be called that guy than lose. Kobe would probably agree and that's how I look in the mirror every morning and disregard the obvious fact that I'm a darsh.
