I hate football.

I haven't always hated it. I was fairly indifferent to it for a long time. Then I got married and over the last five years I have grown to loath it. Not all games- I don't mind going to a live game because usually there is someone to talk to, snacks to buy and spirit groups who entertain you- oh yeah and the game. I do absolutely hate games on t.v. The announcers voices grate on my nerves because they talk incessently over every play and every timeout and every thing. They must have an army of people working for them feeding them all those statistics..."so and so holds the record for ...." " he is only the 8th person to have ever kicked the ball that far...". The game drags on for hours! Maybe I could take it if it was over in one or two hours but how do they drag it out for three and four hours? Then sometimes I realize its not the same game. They switch over to another game before the first was over either because the first was so boring or they are helping husbands trick their trusting wives into thinking they are still watching that all important game. The season drags on for ever too. Preseason must start in like June and they keep pushing back the super bowl farther so now it ends sometime in February but there is probably a post season and then March Madness starts!
Why is every game important? WE don't have to only watch the teams he likes but also the ones he doesn't just to see who will make it to the play offs. AAAAAGGHHH! I have tried not to complain much this year and just learn to occupy myself with other things but this is mostly my blog and I can complain if I want to! I wish I was one of those cool wives who loved football too and could get into the games and look forward to football season but I'm not so don't tell me why I should love it or how I should try watching I might learn to like it- I doubt it and am not willing to give up months of my life to try.
I feel a little better now.
