Grits is a lot like cream of wheat. A creamier polenta with more texture would be an accurate description.
For me, I like it when Bollig takes a penalty for being too rough - that extra punch, or slamming a guy into the goalie. Well maybe not like, but certainly tolerate it. I will take those penalties 10/10 times over lazy hooking or holding penalties.
I think the "**** eating grin" (at least for the goalie interference penalty) was as much an expression of "are you kidding me?" to the referee for calling him for what wasn't called earlier (same exact play) or general disbelief that there was a call made.
