Why do men like the game? It isn't logical to me. A bunch of dirty, sweaty men running around after a funny shaped ball. The kick it, throw it and tackle each other. Then there is the goofy victory dance and the end of the field.
Sigh. What is the point? I don't get it.
Should I go to the game and spend time with my husband (cold, wet and miserable) or stay home in my nice warm house? It sounds like an easy choice but I really do want to be close to my Dragon.
What to do.... What to do....
Yes, I'll go and I won't even complain. I'll snuggle under my jacket and the truck blanket. My trusty kinkle will keep me entertained. I think I am even looking forward to the half time show.
I think you just made the easy choice :) Have fun! You know, those stadium blankets are kinda roomy, wink-wink.
ReplyDeleteOk It wasn't too bad. Yes, it was cold but the half time show was worth it. My kids got to see football southern style. We do it right down here. The north west tried but didn't quiet make it. They were impressed.
DeleteYou are funny. I would stay home, enjoy alone time and be warm! But DH doesn't like football either, so that is not going to happen!
ReplyDeleteGood news? Dragon didn't take his jacket and got cold. We left after halftime. His team lost by a LOT. It was hard to watch.
Deleteadmirable. but if i wanted to attend an event but my other half didnt, i would rather they just not go rather than go but have something else distract them...
ReplyDeletethat's just me tho. as long as he's happy to have you by his side and doesn't mind your kindle being part of the festivities, then i say, power to you both!
I want his company. He has learned how to sew and embroidery to spend time with me. I can learn how to fish and learn the rules of football for him. A good book, a blanket and hot-chocolate made it bearable.
Delete(I even enjoy Nascar now. I watch more races than he does.)
I love going to a football game. One time at a Broncos game it was so cold we had blankets and trash bags and every other thing you could think of to keep warm, snuggling didn't even work, but it was so exciting. Of course, their winning had a lot to do with it.
ReplyDeleteGo, cuddle up, keep warm and cheer with everyone else.
Why does it have to be so different from hockey, a game I almost have figured out. The lines are important in football too. I figured that much out last night. Something about the line of scrimmage and another line at the end of the field. don't remember what that is called though. I'm learning....
DeleteSnuggling is tops! And watching football is a great way for wives to grow their understanding about men's need to be all that the traditional husband is called to be: the protector, defender, leader of the home team, provider (expressed in getting his team the touch down they need)... Yeah, watch the men "playing" and you see them going through the motions of being the MEN. Forget about the football - watch the men to learn about men :)
ReplyDeleteI think it was more about reconnecting with old friends than it was about the game. And he enjoyed the halftime show as much as I did. That is why I went. His warm hand in mine, a stolen kiss and seeing him smile. It was worth every minute.
DeleteWhy do women like to shop?
ReplyDeleteInfinitely dumber than football!
LOL I like to shop for fabric. My husband likes to shop for new power tools. The kids can spend days in a toy store. I think everyone likes to shop for something.
DeleteGlad you went. I was going to say that going was the easy choice. I love sports.
ReplyDeleteFootball is very much like hockey. The plan is to get the ball in the endzone at the other end of the field, just like in hockey the net is at the other end of the ice.
The line of scrimmage is the place on the field that the team is at when they start the next play. The goal is to get at least ten more yards. You have four chances to do it. They are called "downs." If you get the ten yards you get to keep the ball and have another chance to try to get ten more yards. If you get to the fourth chance and don't have the ten yards, you can try for a field goal, which is to kick the ball through the vertical poles at the end of the field. If you don't get the ten yards in your four chances (downs), you kick the ball away to the other team. And then it's their turn to try to get ten yards or more.
After trying to explain all this, I hope you were talking about American football. Hee.
