It was so fucking great. I think people needed that. With everything that's fucking gone on, I think people needed something to celebrate, and I know it's just a fucking game of football. Who gives a fuck? In the long run it's meaningless. But for the people who were there that night and the people who were watching on tv, it was special. I'll never forget it.
Ever been caught up in the magic of a once-in-a-lifetime sports moment? Comedian David Boyle takes you there in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', where he relives the night Buddy Franklin kicked his 1000th goal. For those who might not follow AFL, hitting 1000 goals is a monumental achievement, something only a select few have managed in the sport's history.
Boyle paints a vivid picture of the electric atmosphere, the nail-biting anticipation, and the sheer elation that erupted when Franklin made that historic kick. He doesn't just stop at the excitement of the moment. Boyle reflects on how professional sports have changed over the years, making such feats even rarer. With zone defenses and tactical play becoming more complex, reaching 1000 goals is harder than ever.
Yet, amid all the technical talk, Boyle brings it back to what really matters: the joy and unity that such moments bring to fans and communities alike. He acknowledges that while sports might seem trivial in the grand scheme of things, they have an undeniable power to bring people together and create shared memories. So, if you're in for a trip down memory lane with a touch of humor and heartfelt reflection, this episode is a must-listen.
