Summary

A showdown at the local gym between a veteran female pro wrestler and a young athletic male. Kyle has been working out his entire life and loves to spend his mornings training kickboxing. 'Whomp', his kick thumps against the Muay Thai pads. Again 'Whoomp', the sound echos across the room. Sweat begins to trickles down his brow towards his shiny red muay thai shorts. “Are you sure its a good idea to train in this ring"? James exclaims as he braces for another kick. 'Whommp'! "No ones here, stop being such a pussy", Kyle replied. "Keep the pads straight"! Suddenly, roaring from across the room, "Boys, what are you doing in my ring"! Kyle composed himself and looked down. He saw an older woman walking hurriedly towards them, behind her two young women. She appeared to be in her mid 40s, the other two women, looked quite young and fit most likely their early 20s. Instinctively, he knew she was the leader of the group. '"Out now! “It's our time to train”! "Out!', she shouted again as she got closer towards the ring! "Hey look lady! Can't you see I'm training here", Kyle shouted. "Get out of my ring”! “Now!" Malia shrieked! "Geeze lady, calm your britches! “We could kick your ass if we wanted to, so don't even bother". Kyle, continued to punch and kick the pads in defiance. A huge smirk bellowed across the older lady’s face.... “Why don't you prove it then." “Why don't you come back tomorrow and step in this ring and we'll see IF you could kick my ass"! Kyle took one last swing at the pads, the noise echoed across the empty gym floor. "You know what lady?" "Challenge accepted"... "There's nothing you could do to me"! "Woman".. "Look at me and look at you, you don't deserve to be in this ring." The rage began to swell on Malia's face... The two young women standing beside her had extremely worrying looks on their face.. Malia was known to be one of the toughest women in the ring, having fought for over 30…

Church Basketball: The brawl that begins with prayer

Summary

I saw a shirt last week and thought it was pretty funny. It said "Church Basketball: The brawl that begins with prayer." Mormon Church basketball is an experience that is hard to understand unless you have witnessed it or played in combat... I mean a game. Way back, just before I was a teenager, I started playing Church Ball. I was one of the poor sports that I am now writing about years later. The one and only reason I was a bad sport and lost my temper during the games is that I was a lousy player. I played on the Morgan 2nd Ward adult team back in the early 70's. I was young but they always had me play because they usually only had 4 players show up. Thus, it was left up to me to fill the spot. I played with my Dad and others. After getting about 10 of my shots blocked, I would get mad and start to play rough. I know it is hard to believe that this would happen in a Church ball game! However, something more tragic than this happened to me during my church ball experience. I had to referee a bunch of the games. I am still going to therapy for this. It is my theory that Mormon men are calm and kind in their everyday lives at school, at work or at play. Then something happens when you start playing ball and the "meanness" comes out. I have had four major events in my life, getting asked to the girl's dance, getting married, and the birth of my children. What happened next is Major Event number 4. The game was nearly over with a close score. We called time out to rest. I wanted to go over a plan to win the game. We all got in a huddle. Mark Walker was giving instructions to us to help us win the game (Major Event Alert!). He said "Let's get the ball to Ronnie so we can get some points." I thought to myself "who else on the team is…
