I'll be straight up. I'm not naturally a football fan. In fact, I can still find different reasons why I dislike football.
But in 2007, when I first started dating the boyfriend, I learned that he was not only a big nerd, but also a huge football fan. His duality was so strange to me.
I told him that I was very content that both my high school and my undergrad didn't have football teams. I feel like it creates too macho an atmosphere for me to be comfortable. Otherwise, I didn't really care too much for it.
He decided that he was going to get me interested in football. He proposed that every time the Patriots scored a point, I would get a kiss. Well, I quickly learned that each scoring was actually 7 points, which meant I got 7 kisses for every touchdown!
Genius.
Well, suffice it to say that that season was a heart breaker. But today, I now enjoy watching football with the boyfriend.
Being that today is the day of the Super Bowl, which I've always enjoyed watching because of the social aspect (much like why I enjoy the World Cup so much), I thought it would be fun to list all the terms in football that make me say, "Excuse me, what?"
