I never
thought I would like football as much as I do now. When I was younger, I would try to get out
of the room if anyone was watching sports.
My father was a diehard Saints fan and they were displayed on our
television screen at every opportunity. Sometimes I would sit next to him and watch a game, but never fully
understand why people liked this particular sport. Don’t get me wrong, I did like basketball; what girl doesn’t?
I didn’t get into football until my
eldest son became the starting quarterback his sophomore year of high
school. I figured, I better learn the game
and understand the rules since I would be sitting on bleachers every
Friday. I really bought into the whole
football thing. I became that ‘football
mother’ and have a genuine love for the game.

Never really
understood just how much I loved the game until EP and I were in ATL watching
the SEC Championship game. He knew I
watched football but didn’t really know I knew so much about the game. There was a certain play that happened and I
said, “They (Georgia) need to work with the clock. Time management is needed right now.” He
looked at me with such a huge grin then turned to a guy and said, “I told you
my girl knew her stuff!” I laughed
because before then, I think he thought I was pulling his leg. Free drinks came my way!
Now, every week during football
season, I am doing Pro Football picks.
EP and I have started challenging each other on college games. If you have followed my blog, you should know
that EP is a diehard Falcon fan and I am true to my beloved Saints (Who Dat), so it goes
down during the games against each other.
Therefore, I
have gone from not understanding the game to having a love for the game. Football is all around me. I work on a SEC college campus, my son is a
quarterback in college and I go to professional and college football games pretty
often. Ladies: men love a women that can do some crap talking about football…trust
me give it a try!
