I’m excited that Chuck is back, but looking at the ratings I might be one of few. But the show’s bit about baseball was incredibly well timed, considering how events conspired to have the show go up against Game 7 of the World Series.
Chuck (Review)
“Premature zoom? Really? Crap. OK … OK, what do I do?” – Morgan
“Think about baseball.” – Chuck
“Baseball? Why baseball? I mean, come on. It is so boring; just pitch the damn ball already. And enough talk with the statistics. Chuck, do you know what slugging percentage is, because I don’t know what slugging percentage is, right? And honestly? Who the hell cares? [pauses] Alright, that worked.” – Morgan

“[Making out with Alice] I can’t do this.” – Leonard
“Is it my tongue stud? Because if that freaks you out you’re in for a real surprise later on.” – Alice

“4C … Are you blind?” – Colette
“Jujubes?” – Dean

I didn’t say it, Morgan Grimes said it.
But, for what it is worth, I share his opinion :P

*comes out of his spell and off the floor … reads response … refaints*
Given who you are talking to, Michael, the proper response would have involved quoting the Wall Street Journal study that showed the average football game only contains 11 minutes of actual play. I didn’t say it. The Wall Street Journal did…
He responds in emoticons … and you want me to explain a Wall Steet Journsuotation to hi
m … !??!?

And when its the Redskins playing, its even less time worth watching.
I feel exactly the same way…only about all games. I refuse to call them “sports” because it’s just a way of giving games more credibility than they should have.
Watching people play games is as satisfying to my need for competition as watching people eat is satisfying to my appetite. It does nothing for me.
*POST AUTHOR*
So, in your vernacular, does “sport” actually mean anything? :P
In my book “sport” would apply to hunting, fishing, nicknames and general tomfoolery. Basically killing something to eat and/or goofing off for fun, where the latter can be had whilst doing the former.

To that, sir, I say “To each their own.”
And to mine, I’l take my football, basketball and other games of organized, athletic competition :)
