F - Football

Football: thing, sport

I'm not really a football fan. I'll root for the Vikings, provided that they are 1: Favre-less, and 2: winning, but beyond that I don't really care that much. The games are too long (especially the ending), I hate when they "take a knee", and the season is too short. Being only 16 games long, and only once a week means that when a team loses, the fans have to be grumpy for an entire week, and that the newspapers talk about the same crap for an entire week. Short seasons also mean that more is riding on each game, which means fans get even pissier when teams lose.

Throwing and catching a football, however, is pretty fun, though I'm not good at either. (despite a few miraculous and status-elevating catches in my middle-school gym/IM career).
