Media Response #2

I know a handful of languages, but sportspeak isn't one of them. Reading this article felt quite similar to opening a Shakespeare play three-quarters of the way through, with no knowledge of the characters, setting, plot, or Old English speech. Where are the Colts from, again? No idea. The amount of research I'd have to do to understand the article as it was intended to be understood is staggering.
And then right in the middle of it, he makes a golf reference? As though that metaphor would help me grasp his point!
My lack of knowledge aside, I could see I would enjoy his writing style were it about any other topic. Fun, casual, and humorous.
Alright, back to my blissfully football-free existence.
