How To Throw a Spiral

Posted Feb 01 2012 8:28am


Let's face it: as you climb the corporate ladder, your balls begin to shrivel up as if to get smaller. Which is why managers prefer to play golf while the staff prefer games like baseball and football.

What they call sports for men… seriously! I know people love Tiger Woods for his classiness – but can you really call golf a game, honestly? No one breaks a sweat, leave alone  strenuous effort and most of all, all you do is hit a ball with a crooked stick, walk after it and hit it again.

I think Micky Mantle and Joe DiMaggio really achieved something – and Tiger, you must be stupid to even call him an athlete! Golf is not a sport – but just a game, no matter how you go on about how much skill it requires.

Frankly, show me how much balls you've got by playing a real sport like football (or in some other countries – rugby)… probably the only sport where men can just be themselves with no fear, hot dogs, beer and all.

For me, it's like making a comparison between beef and chicken… where beef wins out every time. It's a man's meat, to say the least!

American Football – Intensity, Speed, Guile and Teamwork

Anyone who's played or watched American football knows how important it is for teams to imbibe these winning qualities. It's always about that extra inch because the competition is so intense.

To say the least, it's brutal…

Yet the rewards for coming out on top (winning the Super Bowl) are immense – fame, money, power & prime pussy – you name it! Which is why the competition is so intense in the first place…

Ads, million-dollar contracts and the adulation of fans is something that goes a long way in living a successful life – not unless you like it there, under the bed, hiding away from the world.

Speaking of the fans, you can bet your last dollar that they will be emulating their favorite (larger-than-life) stars, trying to make passes or runs and so on and so forth, when they're not watching their favorite team or players in action!

(Another sport that is so off-the-charts in this aspect is Ice Hockey – man, are the fans nuts or what?)

And if you didn't know – the game would have met its end in 1905, thanks to the death of many players during that year and if not for the change in rules such as the forward pass – which is the very reason why football is what it is today. A sport of speed and skill and not just brute force.

How to Throw a Spiral Pass

The objective of the spiral pass is to cover long distances with accuracy and speed, and unlike other passes are spun so that it travels in a smooth arc  and doesn't wobble or tumble.

Here's a link to a video which teaches you how to throw a spiral, as taught by a former quarterback from the University of Kentucky. Here's another link which instructs you what to do when throwing a spiral.

In Closing

And what makes the year 2012 exciting is the fact that we will have an American Football League in Asia for the very first time, thanks to Brandon Chillar, of Indian origin. As ridiculous as that sounds, it's going to be fun, alright… and cricket (and forgetting golf) can go to hell as far as I'm concerned!
