Dear Sinton66,
I am a poster on a 3A Texas Highschool Football Board, and I am in need of some advice. I have watched all season long as each poster's favorite team worked their way up through the ranks and with the exception of only three now, I have watched them fall. I have watched lot's of folks talk some smack before games, and I have watched some good folks eat some crow after games, and I think that all of this is part of being a fan. However, I am deeply troubled by some of the things I have witnessed over the past few weeks as the season winds down. The disturbing thing that I am reffering to is what I will call, "after the game, smack". Now please understand, I think that talking up your team Before a game is part of gettting ready for the game, but when a fan or player comes on afterwards and talks about how bad they beat someone or how they were "cheated" out of a win, or insists that the CROW be served is a little bit over the line. The reason I am writing to you is that I have been told by many of my friends and foes alike, that YOU are one of the classiest people they know, and I am sure you will have an answer for me.
My question is: Which came first..the chicken or the egg?
