The Rice Bowl - The Honorable Patriarch Of Them All

Deadspin alerted me to this Japanese instructional video on American football, and I'm pretty speechless.

I mean, I knew somewhere, deep in my heart, that a football game dubbed The Rice Bowl existed. But to finally see actual proof, sniff, my faith has been rewarded. Thank you, Football Gods, thank you.

And for any of you with Japanese wives/girlfriends ( I *KNOW* you're out there), I think this might be easiest way to introduce them to your lifelong mistress. No more excuses about 'having to work ANOTHER Sunday...yes honey, I know, it's the 16th straight Sunday but I just have to go in...'
