[TM] 339 - What's your favorite sport?
Football.
Okay, maybe hockey, but only if it's the Rangers and only if I am as close to the glass as I can get. Honestly, there's nothing to compare to the sight of a grown man getting slammed against the glass and wondering if he's going to beat the Holy Hell out of whoever shoved him.
But... still Football.
Football will always edge me over to the dark-side of disgusting platters of nachos and huge pitchers of beer. I didn't always like it either. I was among the droves of women that didn't get the sport. It was nice to watch, painful to see them slam into each other, and wince-worthy when you'd see them land on their heads, but once you get past all of that and actually understand how the game works? It's exciting.
Well, except when they take those ridiculous time-outs just to run the clock, then it seems to take forever to get to the next play. See, I know these things now, so I can yell at the TV screen with the rest of them. Which I do; loudly. Fred, our dog, hides when I watch football.
Two years ago, I got the chance to go to the Super Bowl. Which, I think, pretty much cemented my love for the game. Primatech had season tickets for the Giants and being a 'Privileged Sponsor' or whatever that meant, got them a few perks. One of which was a seat in the end zone at the stadium in Arizona for the game. Naturally, I took my friend, at the time, Don.
I lost my shoe at the stadium. Not for throwing it at the ref either, but just from the jumping around excitement at the actual win. That was the Giants eleventh consecutive win, which was even more amazing, since it was the Super Bowl win.
So football. That's my favorite sport. I'm sure if the Rangers are ever in the finals for the Cup, I'll claim Hockey is my favorite sport again, but even in the off season, it's football.
