Lax...and its exposure to the world.

[the next 'one']

I know how much you guys love this stuff....

Today in Algebra II, i was reading the page, and it was all about compound inequalities, and it takled about the range in weight of a lacrosse ball, and how it goes from 142-149 ounces or so.

Also, in one of the verb commercials the kid at the beginning has a lax stick in his backpack.

any more places you have seen lacrosse outside of "lacrosse"?

[Lowell]

nope except like 70 Freaking noobs showed up for my lacrosse tryouts, and me and my friends were like ya, Its deffinetly growing. An were varsity too, and they didn't know how to play!!!!! i liked it better when knowone knew about lax.

[lacrossexposed]

well I think it's great to see lacrosse outside of "lacrosse" and to see that it's growing, but I can't stand people that join to be cool and don't actually care much about the sport and how they play.

[goalie1215]

on disney channel, there was a commercial where they are like "stars on disney channel are just like you". well one of the actors plays lacrosse.

disclaimer: i do not watch disney channel, i was channel surfing

[Bobsch]

At Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, there is a sign in several languages telling what you can't take on a plane and lacrosse sticks are listed.

Stefan Raab, a German comedian, kept wearing shirts with "lacrosse" on them for a few weeks on his show....they were actually Abercrombie shirts, though.

[ColtsLax]

on disney channel, there was a commercial where they are like "stars on disney channel are just like you". well one of the actors plays lacrosse.

dont lie, you love the disney channel

and there is a bar in my town that has a sign that says Laxers Welcome, with crossed sticks

[fenwicklax89]

in my health book freshman year, which was made in like the 60s, showed a pic of a lax player in a huge bucket helmet, short shorts, wooden stick, etc. the caption was "lacrosse is a great way to burn calories and have fun in the sun"

[ByrdDpole]

Everyone here talks about playing lacrosse...and me and the kids I've been playing with for 5 years now just laugh. Pretty suprising considering its louisiana.

[THALAX]

A lacrosse stick is on an episode of seinfeld. Its the one where Kramer has to keep his skin moist because he fell asleep with the butter all over him. Newman is stirring the butter into the hot tub with a lacrosse stick.

[the next 'one']

In Cheaper by the Dozen, the little girl always carries her lacrosse stick around all the time.

[pshwarriorlax17]

I was in culinary arts and there was a clip of Navy or Air Force practicing in one of the videos we watched.

[westlakelax17]

Im guessing everyone knows the one with carlos mencia on his show.

[raykessler]

when i was in israel, an israeli teen stayed with me for a week. he asked if i played any sports, and i say yah i play lacrosse. And he replies, "oh that sport from american pie?" Turns out they learn everything about american culture from american pie.

Ha. I saw that one like last night or something.

While I skeptical to the last comment (well some foreigners may decide to learn about American culture from the dregs of our cinema), it's interesting in that the previous IL's coverage of the world championships, specifically the column on Finland was essentially about being inspored by "that Steve Stifler sport" and becoming one of the surprises of the tourney.

[tiplax]

most of you probley know this but on PTI (pardon the interuption) on ESPN. there is a womens North Western Stick. Mike Wilbon went to North Western

[rampartmiddie]

monday night at 10pm there is going to be a shoe on the travel channel, and the commercial show a bunch of native americans playing a traditonal game.

[QuickMiddie]

Stuart Scott on ESPN should talk about the weight of a lax ball kind of like how they say something random like "the human head weighs 8 pounds". You said a lax ball weighs 142-149 ounces but that must be a typo. I dont think goalies would want to get hit by a 9 pound lax ball!!!

[LacrosseDan]

I saw a commercial one time and in the background there was a kid with one of those crappy plastic lacrosse sticks.

[rizzini]

i have these donut things, called popems and on the box there is a bunch of different sports things and one of them is old wooden lacrosse sticks

also in my math book i opened up to a random page and there was a picture of a girls lax game.

[LymanLax28]

nope except like 70 Freaking noobs showed up for my lacrosse tryouts, and me and my friends were like ya, Its deffinetly growing. An were varsity too, and they didn't know how to play!!!!! i liked it better when knowone knew about lax.
...says a kid from Florida. If it weren't for the spread of lacrosse, we would have never heard of it.

[FairSpanishLadi]

You gotta love Kramer stirring his bath with a lacrosse stick. I don't know about now, but back during the Dawson's Creek era, there was often kids tossing lax in the background of shows on the WB. Also, cool fact - Clark, the "Michael Bolton clone" from Good Will Hunting that Will make look like a jerkoff in the bar infront of Skyla was written in the original script as a large guy sporting a Harvard Lacrosse sweatshirt.

[THALAX]

I just saw a commercial for Bengay, and it had lacrosse players sporting their heat patches. It's the first time that I have really seen modern lacrosse associated with a commercial (besides lacrosse companies).

[czechinthepipes]

well i was just watching cheaper by the dozen and near the end one of the kids is holding a lacrosse stick.

[MACDADDY]

its spreading like wild fire. i know this is good, but sometimes, i just wish the snobby kids didnt play. they always make fun of my gear because it isnt flashy enough for them. its really anoying. theres like 4 kids that tried out in the summer(we are starting to take lax VERY seriously), and 2 of them are already comparing how expensive their sticks are compared to mine. one kids like" well i guess your a bigger noob than me because i have freaks, leviSuction, and razer pro" i was just laughing because he couldnt catch with them because it was too pinched for him. they he ended up ripping his gloves and at the end of the tryouts, i said he should see how strong his stick was, so i asked him to swing his stick at the goal post. lol it snapped :roll:. i kinda feel bad cuz that was a lot of money and we saw his dad scream at him...

other than that, ya they dont call lacrosse the fastest growing team sport for nothing

[Nbenn]

I just saw a commercial for Bengay, and it had lacrosse players sporting their heat patches. It's the first time that I have really seen modern lacrosse associated with a commercial (besides lacrosse companies).

Yeah, I saw that commercial too. I felt kind of proud when I saw the lax player--even though it was for Bengay

[THALAX]

I was just watching "Modern Marvels" on the History channel, and there was an NLL game being played on a paper thin TV. I'm surprised that I have noticed so much lacrosse on tv in the last 6 months.

[LaLax7]

Not that I ever watch the show "House Hunters" on HGTV that comes on at 9p.m. central, I flipped to this channel once and after this family had moved in to their new house it showed the kids playin with their lacrosse sticks. It was pretty cool to actually see people play lacrosse thats not like on a sports channel.

[ethslax12]

today in the comics, Foxtrot, jason was playing lacrosse with his older brother,

[PGlacrosse]

i saw it in a suday comic this morning and a lot of t.v shows are using lacrosse sticks to make them look cooler. In the movie She's The Man the lacrosse players are on their feild.

[PGlacrosse]

You gotta love Kramer stirring his bath with a lacrosse stick.
i saw that, his butter bath :laugh:

[LaxDman62]

In the febrezee commercial with the converse, there might be some lacrosse stuff.

[the next 'one']

i saw She's The Man last night, and they talk about the lacrosse team taking over the soccer field. It shows the team running around and playing.'

[gctales]

Watching "Guarding Tess" (1994) w/ nicholas cage and shirley mclaine the other night. and they mentioned that the deceased president (mclaine's character's husband) was a lacrosse player in college.

[brunos13]

Last week on the "War At Home" at the end of the show the older male child states that "The Lacrosse Team hung his underwear from the flag pole".

there was also an insurance/financial services commercial talking about saving/paying for the kids braces, music lessons (shows a kid playing the piano) and lacrosse camp (shows a kid playing wall ball in his bedroom). Don't know if it was intentional, but that kid really needed the camp. :chuckle:

[B1ackout]

i love when im watchin something on ESPN and a sports comercial comes on showing a bunch of different college athletes and sports and lacrosse is now one of them. i get pride from seeing lacrosse comercials on ESPN during non lacrosse related sporting activities

[MaddxLax]

in my high school they always give out this little stupid planners to write your homeworks and schedules in and stuff....and on the cover there are some faded pics of sports, the first you see is football(of course), the second is LAX!--and theres only like two others, i think like baseball and track...out of all the sports there are (no field hocky, basketball, tennis, golf, soccer, volleyball)---i was so suprised to see that this amazing but not so popular sport made it to the cover of a planner, haha

[CardinalPuff]

of course, there's always LaCrosse, Wisconsin.....

or has anybody mentioned Adam Sandler getting pummeled by Drew Barrymore wielding a crosse in "Fifty First Dates"?....friggin' classic....

[hemp_laxer21]

This really doesn't count considering it was a siding company in LONG ISLAND but there was a siding commercial sayign " this plastic siding can stand up to everything your kids can throw at it" or sumthing like it and it showed a kid cross checkeing another kid into the side wall. yet again it was in Long Island not like lacrosse is new to there or anything

[the next 'one']

thats hilarious. you would think they would show a kid playing wall ball off of the side of the house, but instead, he checks his friend into it. :guns: hahahah :rofl:

[Ex-Laxer]

Stuart Scott on ESPN should talk about the weight of a lax ball kind of like how they say something random like "the human head weighs 8 pounds". You said a lax ball weighs 142-149 ounces but that must be a typo. I dont think goalies would want to get hit by a 9 pound lax ball!!!

No... that'd be like trying to stop a bowling ball! I don't care WHAT'S on the line - if a guy throws a bowling ball at me, I'm getting out of the way ASAP.

[SliNg MaN]

hmm..yeah well we started it in p.e and wer i live lacrosse is a sport that is like butterfly catching...its nothing...its growing

[PilotShinjiIkar]

I think is sad that when I first went to college last year I met so many wanna be laxer posers, the super preppie frat boys constantly throwing around in front of their frat to show off, even though they know nothing about the game besides throwing a catching. When I brought out my d pole and ask if they played they were shocked and was like WTF is that nasty thing? And I was like......UGH U DISGUIST ME U FREAKING POSERS. And outside my dorms I see all these kids throwing around but again they know nothing of the sport and dont attempt to actually play a game or even learn about, I told them that theres a lacrosse club but they dont care about playing but merely the image of throwing a ball around with their $30 STX AV8 and soft mesh, very very clean brand snow white mesh that has never gotten dirty from a picking up a ball. Never a dent in their sticks from a check. And not even understanding the concept of cradling. I know I went on a rant here but Lacrosse is Lacrosse, its a sport, not some u sport to look cool, carrying ur brand new white soft mesh stick around campus just makes you look like a poser.

[nativeson]

I don't know about now, but back during the Dawson's Creek era, there was often kids tossing lax in the background of shows on the WB.

I think it is 14.2-14.9 oz.

[BigKLaxer]

A lax ball is between 5 and 5 1/4 oz. says the rule book.

[Fudd]

I feel that lacrosse is be coming the new soccer....except that it is SOOOOO much cooler. i mean the attendance at the NCAA finals are growing every year. i also know that word of mouth and just seeing it helped a lot of people get into it. That is how alot of my friends and i got into it

[GlaxR]

I feel that lacrosse is be coming the new soccer

OPEN YOUR MIND AND EDUCATE IT

soccer is the most popular sport in the world LOVEd by millions and millions of people its nothing compared to how big soccer is in america,besides only a few countries actually play lacrosse but the whole world plays soccer

Lacrosse could never beat soccer but it can easily be way more popular than it is now

[roycegracie47]

Here's one I found this morning in the Washington Post's Sports section (print only, no web link available) in an interview for The Chat by Sonny Amato with Method Man (mostly about being a Jets fan and Fanatasy Football) that went to an all familar sport concerning Pee Wee football on Long Island where he grew up.

...So did you ever get to any games? See those guys?
Actually because I played Pee Wee football, we got to go to their training camp at Hofstra, and got a chance to meet some of them (*refering to the Jets).
Did you play any other sports?
Lacrosse.
For Real?
Yeah, for real. I grew up on Long Island and that's what you do. You play football and I played lacrosse for for five years. Lacrosse is just like hockey on foot. Lots of hitting...

thats so awsome

[Blue]

In Pochohontas (horrible spelling and probably disrespectful), when the British are landing on the shore, it shows two Native Americans playing lacrosse for a couple of seconds.

-Not that i like pochohontas... :chuckle:

[Polaxk42]

You know I've noticed colleges seem to hype it a lot.

Out of probably 20 college brochures I've had sent to my house, probably 6 of them had a picture of someone playing lacrosse in them. And in all of them it was in the section about how cool their school was.

[navyboy28]

how about the icyhot back patch thing where the whole comercial is a guy that looks really familiar but i cant place him (he kinda looks like an older kyle harrison) playing lacrosse the whole time and winning the game with the help of icyhot. it was a bs comercial but the whole 30sec of prime time tv was lacrosse.

[tomtom]

You know I've noticed colleges seem to hype it a lot.

Out of probably 20 college brochures I've had sent to my house, probably 6 of them had a picture of someone playing lacrosse in them. And in all of them it was in the section about how cool their school was.

Yeah, I got a brochure from a school with a bigpicture of a LAXer on the cover. And the school doesnt even have a team, the guy they pictured plays for a club team thats completely unassociated with the school.

[UTlax31]

On Fresh Prince of Bel-aire when they go to the principal's office for Carlton cheating, there is an old indian lacrosse stick hanging up on the wall. It caught me off guard but i was pretty hyped.

[footlax]

yeah, i was watching ESPN and a NCAA Championship commercial came on and it showed a lacrosse game and players celebrating. I think it was georgetown? Im not sure.

[CApenguin88]

i was watchin veronica mars with my gf and saw it showed a guy with a lacrosse stick moving into dorms for about 5 seconds

[Pumalax7]

i was playing ncaa 07 on my xbox360 against some kid in texas and he actually new what the lax in my gamertag stood for and he started asking me questions about my school team. i was so surprised that kids in texas are now being introduced to the sport.

[footlax]

yeah, lacrosse is actually pretty popular in texas, contrary to poplular belief. It is the "coolest" sport at our school, and we are in Tennessee, which isnt really the Lax Capitol of the World.

[footlax]

by the way, I was watching "Departed" tonight, and there were lacrosse goals in the background.

[the next 'one']

i was watching In The Army Now earlier today, and noticed that during the boot camp they are having the fighting thing with those big Q-Tip things and they are wearing old school Brine goalie chest protectors, those old gloves that go all the way up your arm, and some crazy bucket helmets.

[Pumalax7]

by the way, I was watching "Departed" tonight, and there were lacrosse goals in the background.

for the tv show house the comercial always has him sitting on the bench at a lax field.

[gctales]

Curent issue of Men's Fitness talks about the fittest college...

[LilLaxBro]

today on the today show nbc they were showing confenscated(sp) items at air ports and it showed an unstrung fiddle lax stick

[THALAX]

Just saw on the local news about pilot defence classes. The pilots were learning how to defend themselves if a hijacker comes into the cockpit. Well the "terrorist" was wearing all this padding (maybe lacrosse, I couldn't tell) and was also wearing a CPX. The pilot had a gun! I guess I can trust the protective ability of a CPX now. :chuckle:

[BClax17]

As I was watching the greatest Christmas movie of all time, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", I noticed that he mentions lacrosse!

"...zoozitercarzay, a rollerskate type of lacrosse and croquet..."

It comes near the beginning while he's explaining all the games and toys that they play.

[roycegracie47]

Watching CBS last night on The New Adventures of Old Chritine, close observers would have noticed a flyer at the private school advertising girl's 7th grade lax, complete with a warrior logo.

Also on Star Trek: Enterprise, there was an episode in the 2nd or 3rd season where Captain Archer and his crew, while guests on a planet played an alien/sci-fi version of lacrosse (complete with glowing energy ball).

[Jugthug42]

Mean Girls...the blonde chick plays lacrosse at the end.

[LaxAttackman28]

the my chemical romance music video for im not okay has lax sticks at the end because the jocks wiht lax sticks are going to have a beatdown with mcr with kroakae(sp?) sticks

[stinisonfire]

Walmart was selling mini-sticks, the ones with like, soft foam shafts. I took a picture w/ my camera phone, but I don't know if I have it online anywhere.

[Bone]

yeah, lacrosse is actually pretty popular in texas, contrary to poplular belief. It is the "coolest" sport at our school, and we are in Tennessee, which isnt really the Lax Capitol of the World.

It's hill billy hell. FYI I know this cause we go to the same school.

[Vikinglax43]

when i was watching room raiders: florida this girl raided this one guys room and there was alacrosse stick in it ..and also in the movie Last of The Mowakins there were playing lacrosse for about 5 seconds

[dpole4life]

On one of the My Chemical Romance music vids, the guys they are about to fight at the end had lacrosse sticks...and in South Dakota, where they are barely getting soccer, let alone lacrosse, its on every under armor rack as one of the sports to use it for.

[UNCdefense]

I love seeing it in movies & at my college day recently I also noticed that like 11/12 of my college brochures had a lax player on them for athletics.....What I loved more than that & this is gunna sound terrible cause I don't have a link or even remember specifically what channel it was but I saw a shoe commercial of some sort where the opening picture was a lacrosse player; but, it wasn't like the other ones where it's just some guy like holding a stick it was him like sprinting, then dodging, & then shooting.

[sirlaxalot125]

Not sure if it was mentioned but on family guy they had peter dressed up as a laxer and make some preppy joke.

[murderlax]

Im guessing everyone knows the one with carlos mencia on his show.

my brother watches that show but i'm not sure what your talking about.

oh and on mtv's made (don't judge me, i was bored) there's this emo girl and she wants to get made into a cheerleader. but anyways at the ending tryout's, there's some kids playing lacrosse in the background of the same place the girl was trying out for cheer.

also another time i was flipping through the channels and on the same show(by coincidence i swear) there's this lacrosse kid that wants to get made into an ice skater, (why would he do that?)

[faceofflax15]

Watched that one, apparently the kid was the star for his team and made 2nd team all state [said in the show]

[Riot]

I wear lacrosse t-shirts to school almost every day, which I feel is great publicity for the sport.

[stinisonfire]

Just watched one of MTV's new series, Exposure or something like that... anyways, the dude who got the girl at the end was an 18 year old college freshman at some SoCal school (didn't catch the name) and had a longpole in his bio. He also told her he played lax for his school.

I was pulling for him to win the entire time.

[faceofflax15]

don't know if this is said. but in the girl next door at the very beggining the guy says '' i will most remember, winning states in lacrosse'' and he's useing and x2/excaliber and a cascade bucket.

[Oside Lax]

in the new sports illustrated about the 50th annviersary of Faces In The Crowd its mentioned that there were 216 lacrosse players over the years. thats a lot more than i expected.

im on long island, so yeah lacrosse is everywhere

[ro.lax|rYaN]

umm, if someone has already mentioned this one then ignore it lol. In billy madison i believe they mention the lacrosse team sticking a parking metor(sp?) up his a**.

[footlax]

The New American pie movie has naked lacrosse players wearing helmets and flaunting their sticks.

[the next 'one']

there was a bengay commercial just on and the guy at the end was walking with all this lacrosse stuff on and stick over his shoulder and his buddy came running up to him with his stuff.

[lacrosseman192]

in american pie i forgot one of the guys names but stiffler and the other kid play lax and they showed a game

[Bobsch]

One of our players was on a Norwegian reality show about teens at a weight loss camp. They followed up and filmed him in lax practice afterwards and showed it for a minute or two on TV.

[BrickHouse24]

1. Really has nothing to do with this thread, but it's funny. A girl at my school needs to take up time from her suspension so shes picking an easy sport. She chose lacrosse. I laughed, and told her to go play softball. (the suspension is because of drinking)

2. There was no youth lacrosse clinics for more than one session until this past summer.

3. I also saw that Disney Channel thing.

[sammyduelist]

I was watching "Good Morning America" this morning before I left for school to check on the weather
Sometimes they have reporters go to random spots to introduce the weather, or news or something and this time, the guy was with the NY Titans. It was showing some kids at some camp or something and they were practicing and running and stuff.
It was quite the good morning for me.

[Ballinman]

Lets see

in the Movie "She's the Man", the begining has the main character's soccer team kicked off the field so the boys lacrosse team just start doing drills, making them go away

in Rocky 2, i think, right after rocky faces Hulk Hogan, and the marching band is playing, u see kids in the backgroud pointing up old lacrosse sticks

[bushleague24]

This is kind of a stretch, but in the movie Sin City, when that big guy (can't remember his name) is about to kill that stealthy guy with the glasses that eats women, he puts on some lacrosse gloves. I'm not sure why but I'm guessing it was for extra protection. If I can recall I think they were STX gloves. So, basically what I am trying to say is that if you want to get gloves with extra protection, you gotta go with STX.

[Laxattack05]

Dood... don't forget in Garden State when Mark is wearing a CPro or some other cascade with no cage in the side car of the motorcycle... CLASSIC!!!

[EHSLAX12]

i dont think anyone would notice it, but i was flipping through chanels and i found the old nick GAS channel. so nickelodeon guts was on, that bad sports show where like 13 and 14 yr olds would compete in what they referred to as "extreme" sports. so i was watching and they always do the replay at the end before they go to the agro crag. so i saw and one of the events was jumping on a bungee rope off and back onto a platform, but you had to shoot a lacrosse bal with a lacrosse stick into a raised circular goal. it was the funniest thing ive ever seen because they were terrible at it.
in american pie i forgot one of the guys names but stiffler and the other kid play lax and they showed a game

i noticed that too, and somewhere online i was reading an article, and it was titled "steve stiffler - leader of a revolution". i read on and it said that after american pie was aired, people all wondered what that oblong sport he was playing. it drove people to find out, and a lot of people started playing between that time and 2 years later...hard to believe. there was also an article called "the godfather of lacrosse" and it was about the same thing. i gotta find those articles.

[cord13]

i was watching miss guided about 5 minuites ago, and in the very last seconds as the credits were starting a guy walked by carring a lacrosse stick. anyone else see this? when i can ill find a clip on youtube.

[FWHS Mustang]

there was a 2 second clip of a kid handling a LAX stick in that "My Better is Better than your Better" commercial.

[ro.lax|rYaN]

sorry bro lol, its one of my favorite movies.

[8-ball]

i dont watch it, but there was a commercial for the show House, and at the end of the commercial, he was walking onto a lacrosse field. not sure if it was already noted, but just thought id throw it out there.

[Prof. Mushroom]

Well, I guess I will chime in with some lacrosse sightings of my own.
As I was flipping through channels on the tube a couple days ago, I paused for a few seconds on PBS (the best channel ever :roll:), and I noticed a pair of lacrosse sticks leaning against a wall in the background.
Also, on the back inside flap of the Guinness Book of World Records 2008, there are a couple pictures of the Green and Orange teams from MetroLacrosse playing.
Thats all I've got at the moment...
The Prof.

[splaxer13]

The best by far is in The Girl Next Door, when all of the seniors are reminising (SP) about all of the good times. And the guy says something like "Oh ya! captain of the lacrosse team..." and you see him truck stick someone. haha

[cali feeder]

there was a 2 second clip of a kid handling a LAX stick in that "My Better is Better than your Better" commercial.Doing the flip trick? Looked a lot like a Powell to me. I could be wrong though.

EDIT: In Last of the Mohicans, there's a quick clip of Gibson and a few others laxin' it up.

[<<RANGER>>]

I just saw some new nike commercial. They had lacrosse along with football, basketball, and baseball....

There was this fair in my uncles town 2 years ago with this dude who was juggling a bunch of different things. First he started with normal stuff, you know bowling pins, tennis balls, etc, and then moved onto more unique things like lacrosse balls and then lacrosse sticks. It was pretty cool, but to be fair it was in a town where lax is really popular, and i think he may have been an assistant coach on the local high school team.

The corn flakes ad with the toronto rock player...

[navylax161]

on one of those ncaa student athlete commercials, this guy is chilling at a table studying with his lax gear on the floor. also, in one of the US army commercials, theres a lax coach talking with his team behind him (not really, just actors, but it was cool).

Doing the flip trick? Looked a lot like a Powell to me. I could be wrong though.




it was ryan powell... its sad when players can't recognize one of the greatest faces in the sport they play

[sjesuitlax]

there was a 2 second clip of a kid handling a LAX stick in that "My Better is Better than your Better" commercial.

that "kid" was ryan powell. one of the greatest players to play the game. calling him "that kid". is like watching a b-ball game with LeBron james and calling him "a kid"

[sjesuitlax]

idk if it were said but i was watching fuse or mtv and there's a senses fail video when a kid gets a bad grade and his shown getting yelled at by his coach infront of his teams practice and that lasted 3-5 seconds, thought that was ccool

that is beautiful. and the video is can't be saved by senses fail

A lacrosse stick is on an episode of seinfeld. Its the one where Kramer has to keep his skin moist because he fell asleep with the butter all over him. Newman is stirring the butter into the hot tub with a lacrosse stick.

lol some kid just made a thread about this lol it got closed and a link to this thread came up.

yes but it is cool that lacrosse is a growing thing.

on disney channel, there was a commercial where they are like "stars on disney channel are just like you". well one of the actors plays lacrosse.

disclaimer: i do not watch disney channel, i was channel surfing

yo kid, don't give the disclaimer, it just makes it seem like you watch disney channel even more.

on ESPN.com right now, if you scroll just below the thing that changes screens, there's a little lacrosse intro by Quint Kessenich. Pretty cool that espn is trying to get people to know what lacrosse is.
