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.

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

Could you date someone who’s a fan of your rival?

November 29, 2010 Sports No Comments

Last Monday, I went on over to Sherlock’s in Arlington to take in my favorite radio show, Galloway and Company, in person. See, they have shows every now and then on location, and this was one that allowed fans to hang out all day long. Sherlock’s had Mike and Mike up there, Ben and Skin, Cowherd, and ended with Randy Galloway, Ian Fitzsimmons, and Matt Mosley.

Anyway, after about 15-20 minutes or so, I looked over my left shoulder and saw an absolutely amazing woman standing not too far at all. I mean, she was bad: nice hair, bright eyes, and an amazing smile. To see her at a sports event was a plus, because it just made it that much more of a lay-up to holla at her. However, as my eyes continued to look down to check the rest of her out, they shrieked with disgust at the name, colors, and logo on her shirt. The woman in a predominantly-dominated Dallas Cowboys crowd had on a New York Giants t-shirt. Just like that, my infatuation with this fine woman was gone.

The Michael Vick Experience is now in HD

November 15, 2010 Sports 1 Comment

This might be a blasphemous statement, Kenny might accuse me of crowning a man too soon, and I might end up regretting this statement in one week’s time. Oh well. Michael Vick might…MIGHT…end up being the best quarterback in the NFL this season.

Yes, I realize that including not one but two “might’s” in this article does not necessarily put myself on a limb. However, there hasn’t been a more impressive player in the NFL this season than Vick. There hasn’t been a player in the NFL who has been more important to their team then Vick. Moreover, there hasn’t been a player who brought more juice and made a game worth a damn more than #7…

For Donovan McNabb, Being Classy Doesn’t Always Pay Off

November 8, 2010 Sports 8 Comments

This article is going to be brief, but I need to get this off my chest.

I first became enamored to the greatness that is Donovan Jamal McNabb back in 1996. As an impressionable 13-year old whippersnapper, I remember watching this dude make plays for Syracuse that I hadn’t seen since the days of the great Randall Cunningham. When they interviewed #5, he was always “Yes Sir” and “No Sir”, just like my family raised me to be growing up in a military family environment. Ever since ’96, from the booing at the ’99 NFL Draft, to the feud that was McNabb vs. T.O., to the festering cries of hate from Eagles fans, to “The Trade”, and finally to the substitution of REX FRIGGIN GROSSMAN for McNabb in the final 2 minutes of a football game against the Detroit Lions…the man has always been a stand-up guy, a man of character, and most importantly a man who is the definition of being a class-act. … Continue Reading
