From the Girl’s Corner"},"content":{"rendered":"

The saying “and from the girl’s corner…” is a familiar one in my household.\u00a0 My husband, an avid sports lover, likes to use that term whenever I make a sports-related comment or question that usually has nothing to do with what is actually going on in the game.\u00a0 To be fair, he doesn’t mind that I watch sports with him and he doesn’t mind that I ask questions, he just thinks that some of the questions I ask are a bit “ridiculous”.\u00a0 The thing is… I don’t really care if the Jays lost because they\u2019ve had a string of injuries or that the Leafs can’t win because well\u2026. from what I understand you can pretty much blame anything for this one?<\/p>\n

I do like watching the games though and I like them more when I understand the rules of the games.\u00a0 There are however, some rules that I still, no matter how many time they\u2019re explained to me, will never understand. First example: Icing.\u00a0I don\u2019t know how many times have I seen icing called and I still couldn\u2019t for the life of me explain this mystery \u201cicing\u201d rule to my son.\u00a0 Second example: When a baseball player strikes out but ends up running to first because the back catcher didn\u2019t catch the ball. What is that all about?<\/p>\n

\"ah?<\/a>

ah?<\/p><\/div>\n

Third example: All of football.\u00a0 This is probably my least favorite sport to watch (Superbowl excluded).\u00a0 I honestly have no idea how anyone, including the players, understand the rules to football. If my husband is watching football I immediately reach for a good novel (Ok I reach for my phone to check Facebook \u2013 stop judging!).<\/p>\n

Here are a few things about sports that do interest me (these will probably give you a good indication why my husband comments \u201cfrom the girls corner\u201d):<\/p>\n

FASHION:<\/span><\/p>\n

– Why, after all these years, must hockey players put\u00a0tape around\u00a0their socks?\u00a0 Hasn’t the game and fashion evolved enough over the years to find an alternative method that doesn’t require tape?\u00a0 Imagine if basketball players were caught taping their uniforms.\u00a0 They would be laughed at!\"hockey<\/a><\/p>\n

– Once I pointed out to my husband that the Football players were wearing pink (shoes, sweat bands, etc…) in support of breast cancer.\u00a0 He didn’t know this!\u00a0 To be fair, he is colour blind, so he might not have even known that they were wearing pink… but I digress.<\/p>\n

– I’m soooooooooo happy the Blue Jays have new uniforms with their original logo.\u00a0 Much nicer than the previous “modern” Jay logo.\u00a0 Good-call guys!\"blue<\/a><\/p>\n

– Why are guys sooooo against spandex, but it’s completely okay for football players (who tend to be huge and very masculine and muscular) to wear tights as part of their uniforms<\/a>?\u00a0\u00a0Not that I’m promoting the wear of spandex by men on a regular basis, but I’m just saying!<\/p>\n

Personal Care \/ work benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n

–\u00a0 If a player gets seriously injured and can’t play anymore, do they get a large payout?\u00a0 It’s just that most of them don’t likely have post secondary education or a back-up plan.\u00a0 Their poor mothers.<\/p>\n

– I couldn’t watch my son get hurt playing hockey.\u00a0Again, how do their mom\u2019s do it!<\/p>\n

Commentary:<\/span><\/p>\n

You know how you can choose to watch certain shows in Spanish or in described video\u2026. Why can\u2019t I push a button that changes the commentary from a couple of boring\u00a0guys telling me exactly what I\u2019m seeing on the screen (Player X passes to Player Y. Player Y Shoots. Save! Ummmmm Yea I know, I\u2019m watching the same game you guys are) to maybe a couple of ladies who are providing entertaining girls commentary. You know, talking about the best looking guys on each team, who\u2019s dating who, what players don\u2019t get along etc\u2026 So much more entertaining.\"crown<\/a><\/p>\n

Am I alone on this?\u00a0 Or does anyone else feel like they get the “from the girls corner” glare from their significant other every once in a while?\u00a0 Or are you the one giving it out?\u00a0 What are some of the “funniest” comments you’ve ever made or heard while watching sports?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
