Football and Religion
In Belfast they still tell you about the football game that took place between the 100 % Catholics and 100% Protestants. A Limey attended that game and when the Catholics made a skilful play he applauded and when the Protestants in their turn scored he again joined in the shouting. At this point an Irishman jabbed the Limey in the back and said,
“My God, Man, haven’t you got any religion at all?”

“Girls” won the match
Coach Dana X Bible of Texas A and M college delivered perhaps the quietest, shortest, most effective pep talk in recent football history. His team had been badly trounced in the first half of one of their big games. The interval between halves was one of silence and gloom in which the coach said nothing. At last, as the team prepared to go out again on the field, he looked them over slowly and deliberately and said, Well, girls, shall we go? They won the game.

The football game between Notre dame and Yale was in full swing. The score was tied. The spectators were yelling wildly; the players were grimly determined that their side would win.
About the middle of the third quarter time was called at the request of the Yale Center. Walking up to the referee he said,
Look here, Mr Referee, I don’t like to complain but every time we get tangled up in a scrimmage play that big Irish Center bites me. What do you think that I should do about it?
Well, snapped the referee, the only thing I advise is that you play him only on Fridays.

Two Tamil kings used elephant garlanding to win the kingdoms. When elephants garlanded the strangers in the crowd, Karikal Choza and Murthi Nayanar became kings according to legends. In Andhra Pradesh a cock fight was used to decide the Ruler.
The story of Telugu heroine Naayakuraalu is celebrated in song and legend. As an infant she was abandoned by her parents and was discovered and cared by others. One farmer bought her and named her Naagammaa. She married a rich man and on his death inherited a vast fortune. She succeeded in winning the favour of Anuguraja, a Haihaya prince, who ruled over the small principality of Palnad. He had received that as a wedding present. He ruled in the 12th century.the chief had three wives and several sons.
The growing influence of Nayakuralu in the court was resented by the minister Dodda and he resigned his office in favour of his son Brahma. Brahma soon brough about the assassination of the chief.
Nayakuralus influence continued in the reign of net chief Nalagama and she was practically the ruler the minister Brahma persuaded the chief to partition the country. Mallideva , one of the half brothers of the chief , established his rule at Macherla. Brahma became his minister. Other brothers of the chief also lived with Mallideva.
Nayukarulu did not like the division of the country. She challenged Mallideva and Brahma to a cock fight, the wager being that the defeated party should surrender all territory to the victor and live in the forest for seven years. In the contest Brahma’s cock was killed and he along with his master and his half brother retired to the forests in Nallagonda.
Harassed constantly by the agents of Nayakuralu , their life in exile was miserable. On the expiry of seven years , they returned and demanded the restoration of their territory. But Nayakuralu refused. In the fight that ensued , Nayakuralu donned the armour and fought at the head of her army, but was defeated and captured. The battle was a bloody one and all the half brothers of Nalagama perished. Brahma generously restored the whole kingdom to Nalagama.
The battle she fought was known as Palnati Yuddham. Two films were taken based on this battle that happened approximately 1000 years ago. Now there is a statue for Nagamma in Dachepal in in Palnadu area of Guntur District.
Nayakuralu had a talent for intrigue and organisation, and her life of adventure was cast in a heroic mould.

TWELVE LABOURS OF HERAKLES
Greek Hero Hercules ( Herakles) accomplished twelve labours when he was in the service of King Eurystheus of Tiryns; several of these resemble Lord Krishna’s Leelas :-
1.The Nemean Lion
Herakles was ordered to kill a lion which was terrorizing the Land of Nemea. No weapon could penetrate its hide. He used his club and killed it. He then skinned the lion with its own claws and donned the pelt to render himself invulnerable.
2.The Lernean Hydra
He was sent to kill the nine headed snake or dragon Hydra in the swamp near Lerna When he chopped off one head two grew up. His Iolus helped him to kill it. It is similar to Kaliya mardhana of Lord Krishna.
3. The Cerynean Hind
Herakles was asked to capture this beast. It had golden horns and bronze hooves. It was sacred to goddess Artemis. After a yeas chase he caught and injured it. To escape the goddess’ anger, he blamed King Eurystheus for its injury.
4.The Erymanthian Boar
The hero had to bring this monstrous boar back home. He captured it and sent to Tiryns. King Eurystheus was scared to look at it and so hid it in an urn.
5. The Augean Stables
Herakles was asked to clean the stables in one day.. he succeeded in cleaning it by diverting the rivers into stable. It is similar to Krishna lifting the Govardhana Giri.
6. The Stymphalian Birds
Heracles was ordered to get rid of the monstrous man eating birds with iron claws. They were living in Lake Stymphalos; He first scared them and shot one by one with his bow.
7.The Cretan Bull
Eurystheus sent Herakles to Crete island to capture a bull that was terrorizing the island. The hero caught the bull and took it to Greece.
8.The Mare of Diomedes
Diomedes , King of Bitones owned vicious mares and he fed them with the flesh of strangers. Herakles went to Thrace and killed Diomedes and fed the mares with his flesh. He tamed them and took them to his king.
9. The Girdle of Hippolyte
Hippolyte was the queen of Amazons, who wore a beautiful girdle. Herakles was sent to fetch it for Eurytheus’ daughter. He slew Hippolyte and took the girdle from her body
10.The Cattle of Geryon
Herakles borrowed the cu of Helios, the sun and sailed to Gerion beyond Spain. There he killed the three bodied monster.
11.The Apples of the Hesperides
Hesperides was the nymph who raised a tree with golden apples. Herakles killed the dragon called Ladon who guarded the tree. He took the golden apples.
12.The Descent to the Underworld
Cerberus was the three headed dog which guarded the gates of the underworld. Herakles after a great struggle dragged it to his king Eurystheus and then sent it back to the Underworld.
