10 Rules For Women To Follow During Football Season

September 15, 2011 Lifestyle No Comments

WORDS BY JR THE WRITER

As summer comes to an end and fall approaches, men will finally be able to express their feelings to the one thing in life that matters, FOOTBALL! That’s right, ladies, it’s that time of year where men show no love to y’all on Sundays since 1920. The 2011 NFL season (September-February) is officially bromance season.

While some men aren’t really into sports, there’s a good chance yours is. While I damn near wanted to get engaged to my ex when the Steelers won it a few years back, most women don’t understand why men get so upset or into their team. Well, stop trying to figure it out and just listen to these 10 rules to follow during the football season.

10. Don’t ever try to understand why men are obsessed with football.

Just like we will never understand why you pay hundreds to thousands of dollars on a bag that holds things just as well as the $20 purse, you will never understand the love of the game.

9. Please do not stand in front of the television if you want something.

While it’s true that every down is important, there is no need for you to block the television to get our attention.  Just wait for a commercial please!

8. Don’t pretend you know football to try and impress men.

If I see one more girl on twitter repeating EXACTLY what Chris Collingsworth (if you don’t know who that is than that’s problem No. 1) said during the commentary, I’m going to kill myself.  Y’all would know if we were faking it while talking about shoes and makeup, and the same thing goes for you and football.  If you want to impress your guy’s friends, just watch the game (quietly), that’s enough in itself.

7. If we want you to wear a jersey, just wear it!

I know, I know, I’d be embarrassed to wear a Ravens or Cowboysgirls jersey as well, but it’s an obvious gesture your man wants to share this experience with you.  He’s not asking you to speak on the cover defense; he just wants some support from you.

6. You will not be dragging us to a baby shower, mall, or any other activity where a man will be forced to just stand there and look helpless on a Sunday!

Do you know why there are no church services from 1-7? It’s not so you can play baby bingo at a shower, it’s because Jesus wants us to be near a TV, radio or computer.

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose – Friday Night Lights…

February 21, 2011 Sports 1 Comment

There is a general perception about yours truly that I feel the need to clarify. When I watch television, my remote is not actually stuck on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN News, ESPNU, ESPN The Ocho, The “NFL-NBA-MLB-NHL” Network-TV channel, or any FOX Sports Regional channel. In my current DVR rotation is Treme, Tosh.O, Holmes with Homes, Real Estate Intervention (ole buddy goes hard on those sellers man), Real Time with Bill Maher, and of course Robot Chicken.

The Best NFL teams that never were…

January 17, 2011 Sports 3 Comments

As a young child I fondly remember the 1990-1993 Buffalo Bills.

For starters, they were the livest team ever on Tecmo Super Bowl. Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, James Lofton, Bruce Smith, Darryl Talley, Cornelius Thomas, etc. I mean, they were unfair. For some other more obvious reasons, I also remember the 1990-1993 Buffalo Bills because for four consecutive years they “attended” the Super Bowl. We all remember the skull-drugging escapades that the Bills were on the wrong side of. We remember “Wide Right”. We remember Thurman Thomas losing his helmet. We remember the Cowboys putting a 35-piece on ‘em.

Why Does No One Believe in the Atlanta Falcons?

December 13, 2010 Sports 1 Comment

I don’t get it.

The Atlanta Falcons are 11-2 this season. They are undefeated at home (6-0) in the Georgia Dome, and Matt Ryan doesn’t lose at home as he is an astonishing 19-1 in the Georgia Dome. They have a bruiser of a runningback in Michael “Burner” Turner, and they arguably have the most productive wide receiver in the NFL this year in “Rowdy” Roddy White. They’ve got one of 5 best tight ends of all-time in Tony Gonzalez doing work. They have one of the league’s most prominent defensive ends in John Abraham, and head coach Mike Smith is 30-14 (.682 win percentage) in his 3rd season as head coach. They are doing work. … Continue Reading
