Last night we played Saint Louis in the game of football. There were a lot of big guys on their team so I spent a lot of time on the ground. However, as I lay there on the ground after being blasted by a big Crusader, I thought, "Hey! This is not that bad because this is physics! And physics is fun!"
Big boys, who have more mass than I, have much more inertia, and have the ability to bowl me over with no problem. This means that their bodies are just a little more lazier than mine and their bodies want to resist the change in velocity more than my body.
The only way I was able to save myself from being flattened was if I juked the big guys out like how I did on the kick-offs... sometimes. From physics I learned that a bigger, more inert body would have a harder time changing directions. Therefore, as I saw an opponent ready to hit me at full speed, I would step to the side to get around him. This made him continue in the same direction that he thought I would be. As he failed to block/kill me, I sneakily ran around and thought to myself, "I love physics!"

wow! thinking about physics while playing a game. that's amazing.
that game was amazing.
