The Romans and the Vikings

I just found out that SportsIllustrated.com does a live football score, with a little legend that explains what happened each quarter. I learned this interesting bit of information because I’m idly following the Vikings’ progress as I do my Latin homework (I think I’m cheating because I know who’s going to win the battle of Actium). Tonight the greatest team in the universe, the Vikings, is playing those despicable bums, the Packers. Actually what Stick said was a bit stronger than “despicable” and “bums”.

I know Stick would be able to go into much more detail than the SI website, but since I’m such an awesome girlfriend, I won’t interrupt him as he coaches the Vikings through his TV. You see, whenever there’s an important play, he needs to shout “Catch that ball!” and pound on the nearest table, otherwise the football players won’t know what to do next. He has to shout really loudly because the players are all the way in Minnesota. Which is another reason I’m doing my Latin homework at my place.
