I don’t understand hockey.

So I moved back to India where I can not understand cricket instead. This fifth entry in the ongoing series comes in GIF form thanks to secret collaborator Josh Weber – finally combining the two most popular and silly things this blog has ever featured: me not understanding sports and GIFs.  Shot this February at a game of the Ottawa Senators against some other team of hockey players inside a very large room on a parking lot somewhere outside Ottawa.

Let me know when some more goofy GIFs from Japan won’t be too soon.

I don’t understand memes.

But I do think that two imitators should count for something.

Kelly Bowden doesn't understand baseball.

Guy Marsan doesn't understand me.

I don’t understand dungeons and dragons.

[This is the fourth in a series by myself and Jennifer Valberg of me not understanding things.]

I don’t understand marathon.

[This is the third in a series of images of me not understanding different sports.]

Sure, I run – but those gel packs, the shiny blankets, the bleeding nipples, and where do they pee?  No, I don’t understand marathon.

I don’t understand curling.

But Lord knows I tried.

I don’t understand football.

But you know who does?  Scott Valberg – that’s who.  He understands football so well that he has been playing football for the Queen’s University Gaels for more than five years.  He understands football so well that people who work with his sister will show up to his games and hold banners that say things like “Queen’s is good”, “Go Scott – This could be your last year” and my own “I don’t understand football”.  He understands football so well that those people get photographed by official Queen’s University sports photographers.  I don’t understand football anywhere nearly that well.
