The Mystery of Football
I never really "got" football. Growing up my dad never really watched it until it was superbowl time, and even then he would just pop in to check the score while working in the yard. When I met my boyfriend (now hubby), I soon came to realize just how important football was to him. Turns out, a previous girlfriend tried to "take him away" from his beloved football, and he wasn't going to let that happen again (why do we get punished by some other chick, geez).
I really tried to understand the game. I would ask my boyfriend questions. He would use words like "fumble" and "blitz" (wht??). Try as I might it just made no sense. I soon just accepted that I will probably never understand - and if I ever have a boy - well, I'll just cross that bridge when I get there.
I now have 2 very prissy girls. Which is fine with me (though a baby boy would be so sweet...). I still ponder about some strange behaviors I see in football. Such as, why do they lick their hand before grabbing the ball? Hubby says it's for "grip." Well, I'm sorry, but that's just nasty. No wonder they are all getting the flu. And speaking of sicknesses, these fools are making millions and they can't buck it up for a game? Come on! Half the time they are "sick" it makes me wonder if they are just hung over.
I still don't know what a "blitz" is! According to this website: http://www.momsguide.com/football/fb3.html it means "When defensive secondary players rush through the offensive line into the backfield to try to “sack” the quarterback." um...over my head.
ask me about real estate and I can explain that! www.HomesMelSells.com
