PTFO - The Ballad of Saw Man: How to Tear Down (and Steal*) a Goalpost

there seems to be some sort of unspoken magical energy that comes from carrying a physical piece. I mean, we're talking about an artifact that diehard fans would regard as something that could live in a museum. Not only has this phenomenon existed, this practice existed for more than a century,

But that there is also this shadow war that's been going on between the kind of rebellious practitioners of this art form. The Lukes of the world. Yeah. And these larger forces that are really trying to squash this practice from happening. And I was really put onto the dynamics of this through one of the master practitioners of this rebel art.

As a public service, I have created... The official Pablo Torre finds out guide to tearing down goalposts. Great. So let's start with the ingredients. First, you'll start with the goalpost, obviously. The next thing that you'll need is a crew of individuals. Third thing that we'll need is a field storming where your group can have access to this goalpost.

And the last thing that you'll need is a little bit of time. Let's just say, on average, you'll need about 15 minutes to pull this off. After you have all of those ingredients, let's talk about the anatomy of your adversary here. Goalposts generally weigh between 600 and 1,000 pounds each. This is not a small object. So heavy. Each of these goalposts has three main parts to them. The uprights.

Each of them is 30 feet tall. Those are connected to a horizontal piece in the middle of the structure called the crossbar. And that crossbar is connected to the ground by the gooseneck, which is a curved piece of metal that connects usually to some sort of base at the bottom of the structure.

So generally speaking, the uprights are the lightest part, which are made of a hollow aluminum piping, weighs about 50 to 75 pounds each.

I resent that. This is, again, a public service, Pablo. The crossbar is a bit heavier. It weighs about 150 pounds. But it's really when we get down to the gooseneck. That's really where all the weight is.

So there are a lot of ways to do this wrong. Let's just cover a few basic rookie mistakes. The first mistake is thinking that the key to taking down a goalpost is the gooseneck. The durability of said gooseneck is more than what your crew can handle. Sometimes people also think that the way to do this is to unscrew it. That is also not a thing. So don't think that that is worth your time either.
