being invited to be with the teams playing the
Super Bowl. What has been considered by some
to be a distraction in the past apparently is viewed
by these two coaches as a good thing.
I, for one, love the human element to the story. I
am no where near the TV as the game plays, though.
My friend was laughing at me for not knowing where
they were playing. My friend laughs at me a lot when
it comes to football.
My knowledge of the game was stunted at an early
age. You see, as a child I was interested in baseball.
I loved the Mets. I got to know the players and the
game (more or less). I was quite actively invested.
I never showed much interest in football, though,
until 8th grade. In 8th grade there was a boy I liked.
His name was Doug, and he was into football.
Since I knew nothing of the game I turned to my
grandfather who taught me what I knew of baseball,
and started to ask him about football. We didn't get
very far when he says to me, "what is there a boy you
like, or something?"
OMG.
He wasn't supposed to know. I was so embarrassed,
I didn't ask any more about the game. The best I knew
was that you had 4 tries to make a touchdown. Yes.
I know that it is 4 tries to go 10 yards, but for years I
didn't know any better.
So that is my experience with the game. Over the years
I have thought about getting into it more, but I have to
admit to not really being interested in watching those
who play potentially hurt themselves.
And that is why while many are watching the game, I
am sitting here, typing this.
Go Ravens!
(I have to at least support the local team.)
