I am in a house of boys now, football is on a lot! Baltimore Reavens vs. San Fran 49ers. Ravens won (that is who I was cheering for, the QB is cuter)

That's how I choose my team, too

I really hate to admit that, especially since my dad was a defensive lineman and thus the sworn enemy of cute quarterbacks, but there it is.

Hey..cuteness and their uniform colors mean a lot to this girl. Course I am the girl who didn't even know who was playing..lol

When we were in high school my sis and I started to get into watching football, for several reasons...at the time (30 years ago) girls did not do that.... the guys who watched football were much cuter than the girls who watched chic flicks...the guys who played football were much cuter than the girls who were in the chic flicks!

My DH doesn't watch sports at all. In fact, I was explaining the basics of the game to him last night It's a pretty good gig - we are never stuck at home because some big sports game is on. He does enjoy cartoons, but we don't have cable, and he can watch his netflicks at any time

My DH never watched sports except live but he was recently appointed to some athletic committee on campus so he needs to get up to speed at least on SEC sports. . Crazy when i lived at home my dad used to spend all day Sunday after church watching football.

That's how I grew up, too

[marthat]

I learned to watch football back in my teens because BF (now hubby) played on his school team. Cute defensive end (also the sworn enemy of cute quarterbacks). I learned that it was his job to be very fast (he was a provincial level sprinter back then) and run around the line of scrimmage to attempt to "sack" the quarterback, so I watched every play with the only intention to be sure that number 71 got up again after every sack attempt.

Now I just let hubby hang out in the basement with the TV on weekend afternoons. He tends to fall asleep at some point - loves to nap on the weekends.

Last night, actually I cooked a huge roast and we had another couple over for a dinner party with too much red wine. So hubby only saw the last half hour or so of the Superbowl, and that was fine with him. He's definitely mellowing with age!

Yep, my hubby always falls asleep in front of the tv, no matter what is on. Actually my dad probably does now, he has likely not seen the second half of a football game he wasn't attending for years! But he has moved on, he coaches 5th through 8th graders basketball.
