And yet, we are watching sports, not a rule contest
Go play sports without rules and get back to me on how that goes.

BrewDog Grapefruit IPA.
I suppose if there wasn't a warm Pabst available I suppose I'd try it

Oh, wait, I already have it in my hand.

Even though under Armour makes some just hideous jerseys in all sports.   The ucla look today is sharp w usc.    Wish they kept the rounded numerals.

Have to win by 2 is a rule.
The tree as 1st base and the sign pole being 3rd base is a rule.
Ghost runners are a rule.
Picking 2nd means you also pick 3rd is a rule.

You played with a lot more rules than you think.

As a football official I was taught to call it by the spirit of the rule not the letter of the rule.  One particular area is holding. If the hold is not at the point of attack or effecting the play you don't call it unless it is a takedown hold.  So saying a rule is a rule is just not correct.

That said it was a good call of IG.

Go down and I'll throw the ball and you try to catch it. Somehow we did that without a rule book.

That's just playing catch.  Not a sport.

You just needed more friends to play a game.
