Slowly, but surely...
...I am learning more about football. I know most of the calls, how scoring is done, etc. But my poor dad. For about 2 hours of the ride home last night, I asked question after question after question.
I learned about how the formation of offense goes, and who does what. Center, guards, tackles, tight ends, split ends, QB, RB, and WR. I learned about the defensive formation too! Defensive tackles, defensive ends, LB, safeties, and cornerbacks. And I noticed there was a group that came out between the offense going out and the defense coming in that comes out for punts and stuff. I learned those are special teams. I even know more about what position who plays on the team. I think I about drove him nuts...lol. He got a call and was like, "No, I'm glad you called. My daughter's grilling me about football. Now I can take a break from answering questions." I still have a lot to learn, but I'm getting there. |

He may grumble, because it's required per the Dad handbook, but trust me, he loves every minute of it.

I think I started off the questioning by asking if everyone who plays offense were considered offensive linemen. He looked at me, and I think he knew then what he was in for. lol |

You may hate the suggestion, but if you're a football neophyte who is trying to hang with long time, no-shit fans, picking up Howie Long's "Football for Dummies" couldn't hurt...

My wife always is angry about stuff that is perfectly legal, and then gets mad when I tell her that is not the way it is, and then I get mad because she is mad about something so stupid. Its a viscious circle.
