Sporting JOW #1346

It is that magical time of year when all four major sports are playing at the same time.  You can see every kind of sport on TV with the exception of whatever particular game you want to see.  Here are some jokes about as many sports as I could come up with.

Did you hear? Detroit is building a new stadium at an undisclosed location.

They’re keeping it a secret because they’re afraid the Tigers might find out and try to play there.

 

Where do you keep your baseball mitt while driving?

In the glove compartment.

 

An apartment building caught fire.  A woman screamed out the window for help.

“Just jump out the window,” a man yells.

“I’m a baseball player. I can catch you.”

“Wait,” she says. “What team do you play for?”

“The Cincinnati Reds,” shouts the man.

“Ehhhh,” shrugs the woman. “I’ll take my chances with the fire.”

At age 20 men play basketball

The moral of the story is the older you get the smaller your balls get.

 

Soccer is famous for the rough behavior of the fans

A football hooligan appeared in court charged with disorderly conduct and assault. The arresting officer, giving evidence, stated that the accused had thrown something into the canal. `What exactly was it that he threw into the canal' asked the magistrate.

'Stones, sir.'

'Well, that's hardly an offence is it?'

'It was in this case, sir,' said the police officer. 'Stones was the referee.

 

And finally,

Sandy began a job as an elementary school counselor, and she was eager to help. One day during recess she noticed a girl standing by herself on one side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other.
Sandy approached and asked if she was all right.
The girl said she was.
A little while later, however, Sandy noticed the girl was in the same spot, still by herself.
Approaching again, Sandy offered "Would you like me to be your friend?"
The girl hesitated, then said "Okay." looking at the woman suspiciously.
Feeling she was making progress, Sandy then asked, "Why are you standing here all alone?"
"Because," the little girl said with great exasperation "I'm the goalie!"
