The Wolverines we hung out with were a cornerback, and two linebackers. The linebackers got
all
the attention, let me tell you. The cornerback was a bit pissy about it. To be honest, I can't even remember his name. The linebackers, yeah, I still remember them. One because I hooked up with him, and the other because...he was the star linebacker. How many star cornerbacks are there, relatively speaking?
Deion played both WR and CB
That I like. Playing two positions. It's just more unusual than I think it should be.
I don't understand American football either. That's why I spend Thanksgiving cooking.
Was it Kissinger who said, "All fall down, all get up"? That's football to me. S. has explained it roughly a million times, but it just doesn't stay in my brain.
Give me baseball. Nice and linear.
Huh. Now I wonder if I knew the positions of the football players I hung out with in college at the time, because I sure don't any more!
I am thankful for y'all. You're bright, wicked funny and are a source of much fun and knowledge and support in my life.
I haven't peed by myself in...forever. *sigh* But I'm a twin and I think I didn't get a chance to pee by myself until I was 11. I could pee in front of a crowd.
I don't care about understanding any sports (even the ones I like! ... derby) except when I'm actively watching a game. And I never actively watch football.
I'm really very thankful about getting married next week to a really very awesome person. And thankful for all my incredible and incredibly generous friends and family. And thankful that I have a job with decent bosses that, while it's not a dream job or very interesting even, compensates me quite well. I'm thankful I have a home and plenty of food and that my elderly cats are still amusing and in decent enough health.
When football fans can tell the difference between Lacroix and Lagerfeld, maybe I'll start to care. But, until then, why would I follow the nuances of something I have absolutely no interest in?

It's probably easier for me because I wasn't in university at the time. Not really even close.
In my defense...they'd hang out in just towels a lot. I'm only human.
I got nothing on the basketball player front. I was even older, and that started when he was in high school. But there was no hookup.
