It's halftime! 11/30/2008
 

Who’s the best football team in the NFL?  The Giants

College football? Alabama

Who's the best basketball team in the NBA?  The Lakers

Men's college basketball? University of North Carolina

Who’s the best Hockey team in the NHL? I don’t care! 

How do I know this pretty-much-useless-information-for-a-busy-mommy?  My husband. 

What is it with men and sports?  It doesn’t seem to matter… football, basketball, boccie ball, sailing, soccer, or squash:  If it’s a sport, my husband is interested in it.  I’m not saying that he’s out their playing with all the other jocular hoohas—just that he can’t pry his eyes off the television if a bunch of sweaty bozos are fighting over a ball. 

You balk…  Humor me ;)

Do you know what a flea-flicker is?  How about a rugger?  A blitz? A box-and-chain crew?  How about a pick and roll? A full-court press? A 3-second rule (I’m not talking about food he dropped on the floor here). 

So you say you  know all of those?  What's a half-Nelson? A hammer lock? What’s a divot? A brassie? A golden ferret? Or a mulligan?   I can say with about 95% accuracy, if you know what each and every one of those are, you’re a male.   Aren’t I amazing? 

I’ve gotta go—The Zags are playing for the #1 spot in the Old Spice Tournament-- the team with the cute white and blue uniforms-duh! You know what they say—keep your husbands close, and their interests closer… *wink*

I am so so so happy my husband doesn't like sports. Sci-fi? Yes. But you know what? I'd rather watch freaky aliens in outerspace than football. BTW, you ARE amazing! LOL.

Of course I know all those terms. Btw, your husband's taste in football is OK, but would be a lot better if he liked the black and gold. And of all the sports, even if some guys won't admit it to their wives, our favorite is women's beach volleyball!

*chuckle* Body building is a great sport--My hubby does a little liftin' but nothing that could be categorized as "athletic."

I have a twitter account, but I don't know how to do anything other than post a tweet! I know that there is a way to add friends, etc., but I've not figured that one out yet. I need to spend a little time there--I'm sure it can't be that hard, right? Help would be wonderful :)

told you I'd be back...love the "white uniform" comment. I can totally relate. My husband is sports crazy too. Thank god this gives me time to blog between working full time and dealing with the kiddies. Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and let you know, I've been haunted since your last comment, couldn't sleep, and had to write more today! I learned my lesson, I swear!

I love Erma Bombeck! I think I read all her books when I was 12 and I loved them even then!
