..ninety minutes of give and take, striving, wallowing in the pleasure of the brute effort, and the subtlety, then the final thrust, the line crossed, the scream, the gratifying sweat, and the heaving chests in denoument.....the metaphorical shot on goal!!! (MSOG)    

sport closest mirrors and expresses the struggles of life. Patience, hard work, pain, missed chances, new opportunities, improvise, plan, execute, no need for time outs, just keep it flowing. And the joy when all things line up  for that incredible moment, that singular event, that makes all the sweat and pain worth it .....the joy and euphoria .... goooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!
