Hopes dashed. But hope springs eternal.

I got all excited when I read on Tao of Poker of the old Saturdays with Dr. Pauly, and the upcoming Sundays with Dr. Pauly.
The Saturday series was my first real introduction to blogger pokery goodness, and set in motion the series of events that caused Waffles to call me his own personal ATM for a period of time.
I thought about how embarrassed I am now by how badly I played (I place fourth in the first one by some of the most fugly suckouts ever...I still cringe), but mostly I remembered how much fun it was playing with everyone for the first time, and getting totally hooked. The memory made me a tad...well.....moist.
So imagine my utter disappointment upon reading that the Sunday series is about football.
Now nothing against football, but it's just never stirred me the way it does for some of you lot. I've had it explained to me...a lot (so please don't try anymore, I beg you). I've watched the CFL, and blindly cheered on my hometown team even in the face of incredible suckage. I've sat through Sundays filled with NFL. I've watched my fair share of Grey Cups and Superbowls. But I've come to the conclusion that I must be missing a chromosome or something, because my only reaction is meh.
I really seriously don't understand football. And I really seriously don't want to.
HOWEVER.
That being said, I've half a mind to enter the Sundays with Dr. Pauly anyway. Hey, look what happened the last time I played a game I didn't really understand with this crowd. I lost some time and money, but had many laughs and made many IFFs. Still not sure though.
In any case, you should still go sign up. I mean, what else are you going to do on Sundays?
Check out Pauly's blog for details. As if you haven't already.

Don't worry Kat.Real football is played with a round ball :-))
Hope to see you at the Stars game on Sun and the Bloggerment!
Hmmmm - good call. I was annoyed that Sundays with Pauly was about football too, but maybe I should join? I dunno. I'll think about it.
