For those not in the know, OneChele loves the NFL. Love, love, loves it! I watch religiously. I plan my church attendance around the pre-game shows and my Sunday evenings around the post-game wrap-ups. I have NFL Sunday Ticket and SuperFan on DirecTV. I play in a fantasy football league (reigning champ three years in a row). During football season, I am a cheap date – call me up and invite me over to watch the game, throw in chicken wings and iced tea and I'm happy.
As a Dallas Cowboys fan it has not always been easy (and is in fact often painful) to watch yet every week, I sit (usually with grilled food items nearby) and ready myself for the battles of the day. Win or lose, there are generally great feats of athleticism to appreciate. For the ladies who are not fans of the game, here are five things you need to know about the game:
- Really fine men in really tight uniforms – I think that statement speaks for itself
- It's quite entertaining – if you are not a pure fan of the sport, you can still tune in just to enjoy an amazing catch, tackle or throw
- It's not just a game – Yes it is grown men playing a boy's game but people take it very seriously
- Most men dig chicks who can speak sports – At the very least, know your man's favorite team and when they play. "How'd the Bears play today?" can net you "cool chick" points.
- Don't call diehard football fans mid-game – If you have friends who are rabid fans, don't call them on game day unless someone is bleeding and requiring emergency care
The season kicks off with much fanfare and hoopla tonight with the Tennessee Titans and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Time to suit up… enjoy!
8 Bougie Thought(s):
Me too! The stretch between the Pro Bowl in early February to pre-season in August is the longest time of the year! I live about 3 blocks from my church and have been known to leave right after Communion if service is running over because I don't want to miss kick-off. The only people I talk to during any football game are my father and my brother because I know that they're calling to discuss the game. Everyone else can kick rocks.
All about the football, bring it on!
You do officially get "cool chick" points for this post. I do love a woman who knows her football.
I'm glad i'm not the only female NFL fan out there. Hell I even watch Real Sports with Brian Gumble. Play Madden on my PS3. Yeah, I'm a fanatic. I understand what it's like to be a fan of team with such strong potential. I'm a Bronco fanatic that bleeds orange and blue, but have been tripped up by all the craziness of last season, our quarterback trippin', and the firing of our head coach.
Here's to our teams hopefully doing well this season! Maybe my inner Dion Sanders wearing the reversable jersey groupie enthusiam will bring your team luck.
PRIME TIME!
I soooo wanted the Steelers to lose, I must say I hate them with a passion. I'm glad football season is back, I just love a great play, a good interception, a ridiculous yardage gain and oh the beauty of an awesome tackle! (I use to play as a little girl and just loved putting the boys on their back)

I am not the least bit ashamed to admit that I originally started watching football games for the wonderful sight of seeing sexy men in tight pants bent over in a huddle. And Lord knows all these years later, it still get my heart racing to see a nice camera shot of a huddle. LoL!
I'll back again for sure, thanks for great article :D
