There are a lot of hayseeds in the Midwest country towns that find sports as the thing that helps them blow that town and leave it behind, then they get frustrated when they have to get work other than athletes. To encourage them to study up for a "day job," they found something like a wet blanket. They were watching Oz, the imprisoning of their intellect in school and Wednesday afternoon Catechism class writ large. That Hideous Strength and the Jerry Falwell strong, silent majority of the 1980s. Garth Brooks would sing, "I've got friends in lowly places" but they weren't me.

The post-pubertal woman is the quarterback getting sacked with loss of yardage. With the interception and conversion, "Hello, little girl. Where's your mother?" Or it's just Talia Shire.
