Bubba the Love Sponge listening thread Aug 2-6 2010
Man, I hate to say it and don't really mean it, but i am waiting for the day when Bubba's kid does sumthin, then we can blame him. Parents can't control everything their fuckin kids learn. My parents sure couldn't me, even without all the tech stuff we have now.
It may be a grand week for all things professional football, but the real buzz will come from inside the gymnasium at the J. Babe Stearn Center.
We’re talking about a place where you can watch dozens of “coaches” match wits and strategies. Where you can observe them line up the best players on their teams for a skills competition. Where you can see a mini-Jerry Rice run out routes, while life-sized Jerry is elsewhere, soaking in his induction experience.
We’re talking football — electronic miniature style.
“Just about every man who’s between 40 and 60 years old played this game as a kid, got tired of it and threw it in the closet,” said Lynn Schmidt, of Kansas City, director of the board for the Miniature Football Coaches Association.
The difference is, the 75 or so “coaches” who will descend on Canton this week re-discovered their games. Some started playing again more than a decade ago, others only in the last couple of years. All over the country, grown men have formed miniature football leagues, facing off in their spare time and off work hours.
Beginning Thursday, they’ll do battle and renew old friendships during the third annual MFCA convention. For the second year in a row, it’s at the Stearn Center, timed to coincide with the Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival and game.
