It is Thursday. It is not as hot as it was yesterday, in fact I think I saw a rain drop on the way into the office. I have nothing exciting going today and as of this moment, I am drooling board. The stock market was taking a digger, that is fun. I have caught up on my regular work a day work. Blogged a bit this morning. But otherwise, slow day. Fact in point CNN, MSNBC and FOXNEWS were all talking about that Atlanta Football player. You know, the one who likes to kill dogs. Slow news day.
Speaking of american football, why is it called this? I think we should change the name. Ideas?
From Wikipedia:
While it is widely believed that the word “football” (or “foot ball”) originated in reference to the action of a foot kicking a ball, there is a rival explanation, which has it that football originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe, which were played on foot.[1] These games were usually played by peasants, as opposed to the horse-riding sports often played by aristocrats. While there is no conclusive evidence for this explanation, the word football has always implied a variety of games played on foot, not just those that involved kicking a ball. In some cases, the word football has even been applied to games which have specifically outlawed kicking the ball.
