Game Day 101.

it’s Game Day-- but the
“do not disturb” sign has been
removed― the bell rings

Football―
Patient, Analytical
Intensifying, Hastening, Tackling
Gold-Chain-Fields, Downward-Touch ― Hole-In-One, Hole-High
Relaxing, Politicking, Conversing
Exclusive, Upscale
Golf

Basketball―
Energetic, Intricate
Challenging, Urban-Centering, High-Flying
Throws-for-Free, Three-Finger-Pointers ―  Run-Home, Slam-Grand
Yielding, Past-Timing , Enduring
Customary, All-American
Baseball

Hockey―
Fast-Pace, Aggressive
Antagonizing, Frostbiting, Clawing
Lined-Blue, Circle-Faced ―  Goal-kept, Eminent
Winging, Foot-Dribbling,  Mounting
Strong-Legged, Intercontinental
Soccer

“do not disturb” sign
has been reinstated. Why?
It is still Game Day.
