Weather Changes In Hell

A cold front moved into the netherworld this morning as I was featured on a website of the sport-y variety.  An actual athlete, a guy who knows the name and rules of every major sport in this hemisphere, posted an interview with me on his site. My answers were predictably lame.

I think you could do better.  Because you own a “jock strap” or a “sports bras.” Hopefully not both.  And you know what RBI stands for, and what the difference between a period and a quarter is and to which sports these terms belong.  You, my friend, exercised in high school by lifting band nerds like me with one ripped arm, possibly even your left one to make it challenging, and dunking their head in the nearest toilet.  Unleash your competitive inner self once again and take a stab at these questions that left me stumped.

(As always, bonus points for sarcasm.)

1. What number best describes the role sports play in your life on a scale of 1 to 10?

2. Rank your 3 overall favorite sports, college or pro.

3. What is the one team that you root for more passionately than any other, and is there a team that you hate, maybe a little too much?

4. Do you play fantasy sports?

5. What is the most memorable sporting event you have ever attended in person?

6. What is the best highlight and/or worst lowlight of your sports playing career as a child or as an adult?

7. If you could change one thing about sports, what would it be?

8. Do you have an opinion on Christian athletes who, without being prompted, talk about their faith in post-game interviews?

9. High school gym class…your favorite 45 minutes of the day or the source of countless nightmares and embarrassments?

10. Sports are often the whipping boy of pastors and clergy because so much passion, money, time, and energy is poured into them. Do you think this criticism is valid, or are sports okay as a diversion from the stresses of life.\

11. If you had to compete against other musicians, in which of these 5 competitions would you have the best chance of winning? 5-mile run, 18 holes of golf, free throw shooting contest, arm wrestling match, or a game of bowling.

12. What is your favorite sports movie of all-time?
