But Hooray for the cat, it sure has that doggie's number, just a flick of the paw and down he goes.

Unfortunately it gets calls from officials. Tom Brady for example is notorious for whining any time a defensive player gets near him. Tim Duncan's facial expression any time he was called for a penalty was amusing.

...at one of our sons' college soccer games one time, "Are you guys all drama majors?"

Our sons attended Carthage College in Kenosha WI, and their most despised conference rival was Wheaton College, a seriously fundie college famous for, among other things, suing the Obama administration over the ACA requirement to cover contraception.

They seemed to regularly break the "Thou shalt not bear false witness" commandment every time they faked or embellished a fall. Then, at the end of every game, they would call everyone into a prayer circle. hat used to really annoy the hell out of me - OK on your own campus, but when you are the away team, do not impose your practices on the home team - so presumptuous.
