My friend Mark (seen in the photograph above) and I watched Leeds United play West Brom in a New Year's Day match-up between the top two soccer teams in the UK's Championship League. And no - we did not fly over to Birmingham from Denver to watch the game. We actually watched it on the television (the telly) at Mark's place. Mark has subscriptions to virtually all the sports channels and streaming services in the world, which allows him to watch every sporting contest on every continent at any time of the day or night, even the world famous penguin races in Antarctica. And by the way, the Leeds-West Brom game finished in a 1-1 tie, with Leeds coming from behind to remain in first place, to the great joy of Mark, a truly dedicated Leeds fan. During the game, Mark was in contact with his pals in Leeds, exchanging opinions on the direction of the game. Of course, we south side Chicago White Sox fans don't do that. We just sit and drink beer and suffer. Is it a generational thing or a cultural difference? Beats the hell out of me. Another Old Style, please.
