Yeah, I know games on turf are just as important and everything, but that was more a lash out at the guy who invented Astroturf, and all that decide to use the ugly, uncomfortable green $hit.
[[So Mr. John: explain why the screwed up already sport is the 2nd most popular sport in the world. What I’d really like to know, although I do like soccer, is why the heck that’s the 1st most popular sport! ]] Monty
