A bicycle kick is a soccer shot where the guy basically has his back to the net, jumps and does a half flip, kicks the ball nearly upside down, and usually lands on his head or shoulder. It's very hard.

Lacrosse is most definitely a sport... one that I would never want to play. I don't like getting hit by sticks. I was hit with the ugly stick many times as a child, and since then I have an irrational fear of being whacked by big guys with masks on.

I figure there are a good number of what I deem sports where I get to use the term "Whack him." I mean, there's lacrosse, NASCAR, Baseball, Football, and some others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

My package size has decreased greatly since 2011. However, I've been told that while the size of the overall package has decreased, if I use it properly it will satisfy all of my needs.

I don't like being hit by sticks either, but it's pretty fun to watch others be hit.

But could the cocks move over to another sport... say pole-vaulting?

So, anyway, even though most of them are not "sports", I am pretty excited about the Summer Olympics returning.

I cannot wait for Synchronized swimming and diving, and the reinactments I will get of all the sports I missed.

BTW, newest dumb event in the last Winter Olympics? Cross snowmobiling.
