Synopsis
A group of big burly guys get together and one has the football.They all wear uniforms with big shoulder pads to make their hips look smaller.
The slap each other on the backside and get in big circle and start whispering. Suddenly, one guy throws the ball and the others go crazy and begin to chase him. Soon, a crabby looking guy in an ugly striped shirt blows a whistle. Then you see the same play over and over on instant replay. Sometimes, the other guys get to run and tackle each other. Whoo-Hoo. And for this they earn millions of dollars.
Football terms
Here are the football terms I have heard: Hail Mary pass, touchdown, fumble and the rest of it is mumbo jumbo because the intoxicated fans are screaming and wearing big foam fingers fighting to get on TV.
Basic knowledge
While I don't care a bit about football I try to listen to the scores of important games.If I am reduced to make conversation about football I say "hey, how about those Packers (or Vikings or the Tulips or whatever the others are called). The football fanatic will launch into a long tale and I just nod and wait until my eyes glaze over until they stop.Usually, some other football fan will jump in the conversation and then I can sneak away.
It's everywhere, it's everywhere
Football fever is everywhere. At church yesterday our Pastor started the sermon with a joke about the sport. It's the biggest laugh I've ever heard him receive. Could I repeat the joke? heck no, I just remember it was about Cinderella and some football player who lies a lot.
