Tamir Goodman Couldn't Have Played In This One

Dear NCAA,

Thanks to you I didn't watch the championship game last night. I didn't get to see the Florida Gators repeat, Joakim Noah clap after every play (no matter how minuscule each particular play was), or Greg Oden prove he isn't really overrated. Why? Because you scheduled the NCAA Championship game the same night as the first Passover Seder dinner. Instead of sitting on my coach experiencing that one shining moment, I spent the evening with a 3-year old cousin sitting on my lap as about 20 family members and I sat around a table reading and singing the Passover Seder for 3 hours.

Naturally I tried to TIVO the game but of course that plan failed when I decided to watch a little bit of the Rangers-Angels game while I waited for the championship game to finish up. Of course as I was about to change the tv over to the TIVO, the Ranger announcers decided, without warning, to inform me that Florida did indeed repeat. Shortly after a few expletives, I received a bombardment of text messages from my "gentile" friends, who were pissed off that Joakim Noah had added another championship to his collegiate resume.

In conclusion, if you could not schedule the NCAA Championship game during Passover anytime in the near future, it would be greatly appreciated by Jews everwhere.

Please ask God to consult with us in advance before he schedules his holidays. If he had moved his chosen people's day of observance by one day, this wouldn't have been a problem. Now who's the true bad guy in this relationship?

Love,

Well, football is anyway...
