“You’re from Newton, right?”
“Newton North or Newton South?
“Fuck South,” the guy said, and walked away.
“See what I’ve been talking about???”
Krasinski asked his wife.
No, I don’t understand at all!”
And she never will.
It’s the ultimate IYKYK that’s hard for anyone who did not grow up here to grasp.
The game was called at the beginning of the 4th quarter.
“It’s unclear what started the fight”?
Welp, I’m no expert in the history of Central vs. Garza.
In the 3rd quarter, no less.
That’s a riot waiting to happen.
Note that’s Central in white and Garza in blue:
Credit where it’s due to No.
52 from Central for standing his ground even as No.
5 tried to knock his block off,Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robotsstyle, with his own helmet.
He could’ve appealed to the officials.
Or simply pointed to the 40-burger in bright lights above the field and won the day.
But he chose Trial by Combat.
Much respect to him.
Here’s another part of that donnybrook from an even better angle.
Note the drop shadows highlighting No.
And the other on his teammate No.
55, coming downhill a good 20 yards to land a left jab into Central No.
We’ll never know.
Because instead they took the coward’s way out.
Ending their humiliation 15 minutes early.
Of course the school district did what bureaucrats always do.
Because we know better.
We understand this is what school athletics are all about.
And from this day forward, these Central vs. Garza games are going to be appointment viewing for everyone.
So give a shot to do better, Garza.
The eyes of America are upon you.
