No son of mine is gonna play any foos-ball

"Feel these balls. They're slick."

Thats right. Everyone knows you cant play foosball with a slick ball. Or a warped table. Yet the majority of us couldn't tell the difference. Mostly because the majority playing foos are half in the bag with one eye closed remembering Paulie's advice to "hit the one in the middle." Foosball is the game you play at the pub while you wait for the beer-pong table to open up.

Ah, but we all underestimate Vegas. Yes. Vegas. Where big money tournaments are conducted for everything from poker to rock, paper, scissors.

The link below is an inside look at the professsional world of Foosball. The highs and lows. The glitz, glammor, girls and gut busting upsets. Some of you may have read this already since I know you all slack at work and read every ESPN article posted each day. But for you other hard workers - have a good read. And I will see you at the tables.
