I just finished watching an Australian football game. They did not do too bad considering that they had to run around in those magnetic shoes to keep from falling off of the bottom of the earth. There must be a magnet n the ball also.

I have a few suggestion and observations. If they threw the ball overhand they probably would be more accurate and could throw it farther. Also when throwing the ball in bounds it helps if you face your target rather than throwing it backwards over you shoulder or head.

I also have never seen anyone dribble a football before.

I guess the most irritating thing was listening to the commentators' abomination of the English language. There was also someone off camera blowing a whistle every 5 to 10 seconds. Between the two, it was irritating enough that I had to turn the sound off on the TV to finish watching the game.

Anyone ever seen Australian women's netball? That is another game that could use some improvements like a backboard on the hoop or dribbling the ball occasionally.

I guess I'll go fix the heater in my Blazer or maybe the air compressor in my garage.
