Are You Ready For Some Football?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, it’s football season! When there were rumors there might not be a football season this year, I threatened to renounce my citizenship and move to Canada. Although that sounds drastic, that’s how much I like football. Thankfully, it didn’t come to that.

During a regular season, I watch football every Sunday, all day long. I’ve also been known to watch college football all day on Saturday. And, thankfully, there are games on Monday and Thursday nights to tide me over until the weekend rolls around again. In the off-season, I watch reruns of games despite the fact I already know the outcome. Although football used to be considered a guy’s game, I’m proud to say women can be just as rabid when it comes to their football.

If you want to learn more about football, I recommend reading any of the gazillion books written about the gridiron. Better yet, many teams offer day-long workshops that explain the game: first downs, extra points, and the oft controversial ‘pass interference’ call, just to name a few. I encourage you to learn as much as you can about the greatest show on turf.

What I DO NOT recommend is deciding to learn about football during a Chiefs vs Broncos game when the score is 14-14 with 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter. It might be best to save those burning questions until the next commercial!
