I don't like football. I have never liked football. I don't understand the appeal of it and I doubt I ever will. I have tried to watch it and have enjoyed a few five minute segments along with most of the Superbowl commercials, most not all.
Here is the problem. I could tell you where most of the teams are located. I can name several football players. I can tell you what stadium several teams play in and I can even identify some team colors and mascots. Sigh. How does that happen?
I admit that I am enjoying Tim Teebow this year. What a refreshing change to see a young man who has his own opinions and stands up for them, even though they are radically different from the norm. Not at all sure that counts as enjoying football per se, but I do find myself rooting for the Broncos for having such good taste in recruiting, well that and I lived in Denver for a couple of years so...
I think the football frenzy has calmed some from what it was 15-20 years ago and for that I am grateful. I am also grateful that someone thought to sell tomatoes on the vine in the grocery store so they taste better. Those other tomatoes are just nasty tasting and certainly not worth the exorbitant prices they charge. But I digress.
Where was I? Oh yeah...football. No wonder I lost my train of thought.
I do think that God chose the right husband for me. In over 20 years, he has never once, no never, worried about missing a game or even really cared.
I felt the same, I could take it or leave it. But since my son is obsessed, and he plays also. I'm a major football mom now:-)
ReplyDeleteWe hadn't watched football in our whole 15 year marriage, even w/ a hubby who played (and loves!) the sport..and a half a dozen boys. That is..until we learned about Tim Tebow. No, we're not idolizing him..but it's pretty exciting to see him play and bring God glory through his actions. So..here, in Vikings land..we are Broncos fans. (and I'd better whisper that around here LOL)
