'Bout 360 feet long. But the game always starts at the fifty yard line, right in the middle. A touchdown-- that's when you get the ball to the endzone-- is six points, and a field goal-- the kicker gettin' the ball through the goal-- is three.
Good to know; I'll write it down. [Hm.] You know, I'm much better utilized as a tactician than an athlete. Give me enough time and I could solve this whole sport.
[Solve, he says, like football is a solvable game like tic-tac-toe or checkers or something. It's objectively true that he's better suited to strategy, but also, anything to get out of physical activity.]
You're merciful. In that case, tell me the rules of where to put all these proper athletes.
[He knows sports plays exist, he's managed children's volleyball. Actually... he abruptly turns and goes to the board games table, taking out the box of checkers. Specifically, the actual checkers, it's time for visual aids.]
[He moves the pieces into the proper formation, explaining the player positions for both the offensive and defensive]
This is all theory. You can't really make strategies until you know who you're workin' with. You gotta know the person's strengths and weaknesses. It's like if I tried to put my tech guy as a sniper. That wouldn't be where he'd work best.
[He is scribbling all of this down, of course. Very different from volleyball, which is the fun part for him personally; the little different details. This is what sports are about!!]
Sure; of course. Assuming an ideal group of athletes is available can only get you so far. Which one suits you best?
One of these two. [He points to the pieces] I'm strong but I ain't big enough to be a good offensive lineman; I'm better suited as a running back or wide receiver. Their job is to haul ass as far down the field as they can get. On defense, I'd be a defensive end. They rush at the offensive tryin' to stop them from gettin' the ball down the field.
You know, team sports do a fantastic job at staving off corruption, in my observation. If you were interested in having a casual team meet up sometimes.
Good point. There is that volleyball group and those karate guys; having more sports wouldn't hurt. Though if we're doin' football, flag football would be better. You have these flags tied on ya that people snatch instead of tacklin' you.

That'd be a coach's role. They work with the teams on their plays and strategize over how to best implement each player.

In that case: I would prefer to do that. I can't kick or run, hm, worth shit, I think is the best way to describe it.

Then if we ever get a sports team together, we'll be sure to put you on as the coach.

Show me with these plastic pseudo-players?
