My treat is lecturing others on why their treat consumption is bad. And cocaine, I really really love cocaine.

“🤓 ummm football is actually one of the most complex sports in existence and you’re showing your ignorance. There’s nothing that comes close to such intellectual prowess”

And then football itself is just "bunch of big guys do a running hug so hard they all get brain damage, this goes on for 15 seconds and then there's a half hour commercial break. This continues off and on for 5 hours."

I've been watching for 25yrs. The rules are crazy complex and more complex than chess or any other sport. Complex rules don't make for a smarter game though. Now the rules are getting more complex in the name of player safety.

Smartest sport is definitely Chess Boxing
