I'm writing this post because I feel like I may have to.
I wish I knew more about football than I do. I can talk the sport, sure, but am I as fluent in the sport as a player or an analyst? No. I wish I could understand the game on another level.
But, the truth is that I can watch the game and understand what's going on, but I can't tell when they're doing a screen pass or a slant. I can't tell what formation they're in, unless it's shotgun.
I'm not on here saying I know everything about the game. I'm NOT Vince Lombardi or even remotely/distantly related to him.
I just know what my dad taught me. My dad played wide receiver for several years. He only stopped playing football when he joined the Navy, but he understood the game. I tried to. But there are so many variations that I don't know.
I know that I talk about the hotness of the players. I am a woman, after all. Believe it or not, I CAN separate my being a fan and my being a female. If you want proof, I HATE the Packers as a team. I'm a Bears fan, thru and thru. However, I find Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews to be rather sexy. Matthews has that "Thor, God of Thunder" look to him. And don't get me started on Aaron Rodgers. There are two men sexier than him. Jay Cutler's one of them and Eli Manning is the other one.
But, as a fan, I don't like either one of them. As a fan, I think they're both overrated.
So, if you're well versed in football and want to teach me, I'm all for it. I want to learn more about the game I love.
Just please don't think or tell me that because I find men sexy that I can't enjoy the game or be knowledgeable in the game.
After all, guys watch the Lingerie League and, honestly, it's the same thing. Sexy people playing a great game.
