I like how the announcers show general concern when someone falls to the ground grasping a body part that brushed against another player.

Saw part of an NFL game this weekend and the announcers laughed and taunted a player who fell over to stop the clock.

Pretty simple formula for football: if a player falls grabbing his face, it's faking it. If someone kicks you so hard in a different body part and you don't grab it instinctively, it doesn't hurt bad enough.

Also, aren't anti-doping rules in the NFL a running joke? Those guys are basically rolling on painkillers.

Yeah they are a joke but I doubt they even test for painkillers, just PEDs and the devil's weed. However as narcotic painkillers are pretty adictive I don't know how widespread their use is as there have only ever been a few reports of dudes getting addicted. Also not sure how well someone could play/practice doped up during the season. I suspect they survive via lots of injections of local painkillers.

We've got our division holiday party from noon to 3:00 tomorrow. Who the fuck scheduled this thing during two World Cup games? Well they are saying to stay home if you feel any bit of illness coming on, so maybe I'll decide to wake up with a sniffle.

You're not sounding great. You should play it safe for your colleagues and stay home.
