Teri told me her account was hacked. The same thing happened to my Yahoo
account last year, so I sympathize. Too bad the Enforcers can't be set on
the hacker-spammer! <eg>

Mind you, if this actually were not a virus, I would find the prospect of
owning part of a football club somewhat amusing, maybe we'd be the Forever
Knights, oh wait...we'd be the FK FC or FC FK.
Acutally, I do own part of a football club... the Green Bay Packers. Of course
since Nick had most recently (before Toronto) lived in Chicago if anything he
would be a Bears fan. I don't remember any references in FK to football but
they did mention baseball a couple of times. Jeanette has a line about baseball
making "eternal life feel even longer" that I love. And of course the Twilight
vampires love baseball. Were there any FK references to any sport other than
Baseball and of course wrestling?

Hmmm, the episode where the Barber (title escapes me - it's the one with the
fairy dust quote by Lacroix) tears his victims apart: wasn't the male in the
couple right at the beginning a footballer?

Yes, the man torn apart by the Barber in "Bad Blood" was a football player
(although probably not a pro). And don't forget the pro hockey enforcer
(lower case 'e') who played a more substantial role in "Hearts of
Darkness", Todd "Hammerhead" Marnecki. Capt. Reese was a Toronto Maple Leafs
hockey fan, but definitely not a fan of Marnecki.
Toronto has a professional football team, by the way, the CFL's Toronto
Argonauts. Like the Blue Jays, the Argos never got a mention in FK. But they
are probably North America's oldest football team, established in 1873. CFL
football has some notable differences from NFL football. The main ones are
that the CFL field is larger (110 yards), and the game has only 3 downs, not
4 as in the US.
Your humble & obedient servant,
