what i know about football, by jes.

• i know about cheerleaders
• i know about half-time dance performances
• i know the football is thrown from side to side.
• i know that the real ones are made of pig skin
• i know that the guys chase after the pig ball and try to get points
• i know that when someone is injured, you get down on one knee and look towards that person, and then cheer when they get up and go off the field
• i know that they wear incredibly tight, form-fitting uniforms, and that some of those guys just SHOULDN'T be wearing them
• i know that the players spit a lot when they are on TV
• i know that the coach always seems to have a scowl on his face.
• i know that there are four sections of a football game
• i know that each is supposed to be 12 or 15 minutes. i can't remember. but it doesn't matter, because each 12 or 15 minute segment is really about 30 minutes, with all the recaps and timeouts and whatnot
• i know that one of the teams always "has" the ball
• i know that if one guy throws the ball out of bounds, no one should touch it. or something like that.
• i know where the bounds are!
• i know that a football field is 100 yards.
• i know that when a kicker kicks the ball through the goal-thing, it is 1 point. 1 point? 1 point. i think.
