Football

Footballtitle.pngLet me first clarify that this post deals with American football. Everywhere else in the world, football means soccer, which is played with the feet, duh. The US just has to be different. It doesn’t make much sense if you think about it... only one guy on each team uses a foot on the ball, then he sits down while the rest fight it out. But what else would we call it? Handball is another sport. Dodgeball is taken, too. How about Padded Big Guys Crashing Into Each Other? Nah, too long. If you have any better ideas, please leave them in the comments.

Sometimes the cheerleaders and the band make some awful mistakes, too.

Maybe you’d be more interested in the cheerleader auditions.

*I knew that he was on steroids. His I.Q. and neck size were the same number.
*Our linebacker is so strong he can pitch horseshoes while they're still on the horse.
*I thought one of the linemen had a tattoo on his leg but it turned out to be a government meat inspection stamp.
*He's so huge, instead of a number he should have a license plate.

THE FRESHMAN

The huge college freshman figured he'd try out for the football team. "Can you tackle?" asked the coach.

"Watch this," said the freshman, who proceeded to run smack into a telephone pole, shattering it to splinters

"Wow," said the coach. "I'm impressed. Can you run?"

"Of course I can run," said the freshman. He was off like a shot, and in just over nine seconds, he had run a hundred yard dash.

"Great!" enthused the coach. "But can you pass a football?"

The freshman rolled his eyes, hesitated for a few seconds. "Well, sir," he said, "if I can swallow it, I can probably pass it."

Two star college football players had failed a test, and could not play football in the championship game.  After a lot of begging from the coach, the teacher finally let the two take the test again.  They took the test, and turned it in.

The coach and the two students watched carefully over the teacher grading the tests.  She checked over the first test, then over the second test.  Half way through the second test she stopped and put a great big "F" on both tests.
The coach was furious and demanded an explanation. She said that they had cheated.

"How?" the coach demanded.

The teacher showed him answer number six. The coach looked at number six on the first test.  The answer read 'I don't know.'

"That proves nothing." said the coach.

So the teacher handed him the second test.  The answer to number 6 read 'I don't know either.'

Football practice was delayed on Monday for nearly two hours for the Kentucky Wildcats.

One of the players, while on his way to the locker room happened to look down and notice a suspicious looking, unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. The coach immediately suspended practice while the FBI was called in to investigate.

After a complete field analysis, the FBI determined that the white substance unknown to the Wildcat players was the goal line.

Practice was resumed when the FBI decided that the team would not be likely to encounter the substance again.

Thought for today: Football is a game when 22 big, strong players run around like crazy for two hours while 50,000 people who really need the exercise sit in the stands and watch them.

'Tis the season to be jolly: FOOTBALL SEASON! College or pro, BRING IT ON!

YEAH! Football season! I've been in a Fantasy League since 1995 and can't wait for it to start every year!

I think it all started with the Stanford Marching Band ... I remember that game very well! The band played at my neighbor's party the next weekend. I don't think they ever did live that one down.

Good links. I am not a big football fan but many of those are a lot of fun to see. Now if all the real games were so good.

Football Rules! I'm getting ready to go and see my hometown Chargers play in Baltimore this weekend. I'm a relocated fan, and since I miss my team, I started chargershouse.com

I call American Football the "Great American Game of Homosexual Tag".

It's boring and ridiculous and it is played by wimps for wimps who spend a perfectly beautiful fall afternoon watching grown men grope each others asses.

I'm not a huge football fan. College basketball is what I truly love. I don't like pro football at all, but I do keep up with college football somewhat. My alma mater, NC State, won Saturday night when our new quarterback completed a 35+ yard pass for a touchdown with 8 seconds left to beat Boston College on ESPN2. Very exciting.

Andy Griffith had a funny comedy routine in the 50s called "What it was was football." I've tried to find the audio for it online with no real success, but here is something about it, from About.com

OMG, the pic of the three players "Moore Goode Dick" was sent to me awhile back. Still makes me chuckle.

Never been much of a fan of football, although back in my high school days when I was a band nerd, I went to every one of the games, knew all the jocks and cheerleaders. It was a clique kind of thing. Now, I can definitely live without it. Football is just one of those things I grumble about while changing the channel and thanking GOD that there are more channels than ESPN and the local ones with all the games going on. I think these so-called "athletes" get paid entirely too much money for what they do, but oh well. I'm not the one who encourages that market. Don't buy the tickets. Don't buy the garb, etc., etc. To each his own. Enjoy the season, if that's your thing.

Ouch, I don't think UK is going to be sending you any free tickets this year.

I like playing flag football with a bunch of white guys.

You can't call it football, & Rugby is the propper mans version of the game without the girly padding.
So I vote you call it WendyBall.
Its a ball game played by a bunch of Wendies. :)

Hey! I can be an athlete as well because I can pass a football that way too.

Seeing that Andy Griffith's "What It Was, Was Football" is mentioned in the comments, it just so happens that I posted the entire "lyrics"/ transcript of it in my 9/25 post, "What It Was, Was Another Time."

Man, your postings are always so long. I love the video clip with a picture from each country. Just looking at Canada right now.

How about a woman from each country? :)
