Eat My Sports: WAR, what is it good for? This column

Now that we’ve entered the official dead spot of the sports year, we can now enter the part where I start writing about theoretical instances that may or may not have to do with sports.

That being said, I spent this past weekend watching a boatload of television after having surgery on Friday. The doctors were kind enough with pain killers that made the pain tolerable, and also made watching TV waaaaaaay more interesting than it should’ve been.

Crickets aren’t gentlemen in a fight

Douche.
Douche.

If there were any crickets involved in the attack on New York we told you about yesterday, there’s little doubt that they are chirping and bragging away right now. We know this because of science.

A researcher in Ontario (yes, sadly, in Canada), has found that crickets will talk trash through their chirping and dance around before they fight. Also, apparently crickets fight. And when they win, the crickets even brag, which is a clear indication that the concept of sportsmanship can’t be comprehended by the insect brain, or that all crickets are from New Jersey.
