But since I moved to Egypt, I got nostalgic about everything -- especially football -- and try not to miss a game. My husband, who's a big soccer fan (typical over here), used to make fun of me, but got sucked in just like you. He knows some of the ref calls and rules better than I do now! :-DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035303649437804445.post-30644373134849139862013-01-17T09:27:20.887-06:002013-01-17T09:27:20.887-06:00All this talk of pork and no pork rinds?

My Broncos were favored to go to the Superbowl, were winning their game (with 30 seconds left), and then made a few dumb mistakes and threw it all away. Bitter, party of 2? - the Bryans are ready.<br /><br />-Bryan #2A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035303649437804445.post-69571147680689292082013-01-15T18:48:47.078-06:002013-01-15T18:48:47.078-06:00My Vikings are out, so I'm a little bitter.

The reason being....I don't know the rules. I know you need four downs for a first, or something like that, but it's much easier when playing and someone says "Just run out far and catch this when I throw it to you" or "Stop this guy from smashing into me." <br /><br />Stuff like that. I've never been a huge sports watcher, though unless it was/is tennis. A game I like to play AND know the rules to.<br /><br />Oh yeah....you had me at "bacon" :DMark Meanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029920604932980141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035303649437804445.post-15756724993737672192013-01-15T04:35:59.940-06:002013-01-15T04:35:59.940-06:00I wonder if all sports are like this.

It's hard not to catch the contagion. <br /><br />Also sports terms in general are puzzling. Rugby for example. smh.

They never give up. It really is inspiring...except when it's the Ravens, and then it's just uncalled for showing off. Luanne G.
