At least cheat fair! I remember a game back in grade school when someone on the other team did something outrageous (when the referee wasn’t looking) and someone exclaimed – Wow – they don’t even cheat fair!
The reason footballs were called pigskins is because they were originally pig skins sewn together. Check out the videos from the early NFL days….the ball looks different.
Cracklings are like pork rinds made out of gravel. I remember when I was a kid, my Dad and some friends rendered down a hog for lard. Hey, better than that chemistry set labeled “hydrogenated vegetable oil”… Everyone had their fill of cracklings, nice, hot, and not too hard (you don’t have to squeeze the press down that hard if you don’t want to). And we had to throw every bit of the lard to the hogs, who didn’t mind. Dad had stirred the hot fat with a cedar stick… ugh!
Isn’t tanned pigskin – leather? I have a leather jacket – its made of pigskin. For that matter, let’s get gross here – any skin from any animal, properly cured and tanned, would be called leather. .So the boys ate their balls. Not going to say any more, not even snerk. :) .

At least, without the ball, there will be fewer fumbles.

Not a repjy to; a comment for. Not without precedent here. Nice to see you type as well as I do.

Cheer up, Wiley! Spring training is upon us. Wait, your guys suck at baseball too, don’t they?

Our football team is cooked as well.

Yea, I think the football team is as deep fried as the pork rinds!

I love pork rinds, of course, they aren’t exactly what you would call a Health Food, but dang they are good!

A little tough aren’t they.
