I confess. I'm one of those that doesn't get football. I've tried to watch it, but I can't make any sense out of it. For me, it's like Hockey and when I run across either one, it just means I hit the channel button again. That said, I've seen some incredible athleticism displayed so I do watch the highlights.

These days I tend to enjoy sports that pit one person against another. Boxing, baseball, (I'm talking about the pitcher/batter contest) fencing, etc. Lately I've been watching a bit of Lacrosse as I've got a nephew headed to college on a scholarship.

But, I'm not exactly an excitable person, so I'm a bit dismayed when fans rip off clothing, paint their faces and shout themselves hoarse at any event.
