Excellent. I would add to the soccer flop comment that they should stop the clock instead of having extra time be a great mystery at the end of each game. What I liked best about this, though, is that it reminded me of how I felt when we spent a month in Ireland last year. I could not get enough of the local sports, hurling and Gaelic football and such. I, too, saw it all with the eyes of a teenager and was amazed. And I am older than you! Thanks, good piece.
My dad is Herb Jacob's. He worked for the Transcript for a bit, then moved to Lawton. He did sports, then edotor, then columns. He got tired of the ownership.

First read it in the Transcript. Liked both what you said and how you said it.
Great take! My dad is a retired sports writer. He refuses to write any more. I enjoy your columns. Thank you for sharing.
Perhaps I know him?
Sorry I didn't notice this for so long!
