Why “The Telephone Game” Is NOT a Good Way to Pass the Time During Matches

By: Laurie | September 28th, 2009

Gonzalez: Psst! Hurtado! Offside trap! Pass it on!

Hurtado: Psst! Marshall! Um…Off the map! Pass it on!

Marshall: Psst! Riley! Er…Venus Flytrap! Pass it on!

Jaqua: Goal! Oh, crap!

Riley: Nuh-uh, Nate! I didn’t catch exactly what he said, but it was definitely four syllables.

****
I was in the other room when the goal was scored, so I don’t have an opinion on whether or not it was offside. Replay looked offside to me, though.

But I think the above is the true explanation of what REALLY happened at least once during the game.

Sigh.

P.S. What do you mean you’ve never played telephone? You know! TELEPHONE!

  Why won’t you people trust me. I saw the clip, I paused it and checked. Shalrie was offside when the ball was played.

  You people, even if I agree with you I must be wrong I’m a ref. You make me sick! *storms off*

  P.S. But if I agree with you too easily that he was offside, it completely ruins the premise for this post, Dustin! I can’t let facts get in the way of a good post, now, can I?
